Wow a whole week passed without Blogging. Didn’t wish my brother a happy birthday on the 9th. Didn’t do much of anything web-page related.
What have I been doing, you ask?
Last weekend, my guild, East Side Quilters, spent a few days making quilt tops and finishing quilts. Had a good time, listened to good music, hung out with cool people.
This week, I worked. yeah yeah yeah.
Got a couple new software things: Click’N Design 3D by Stomper. I’d gotten a similar software with a plastic “jig” for helping to reliably put the label on the cd. That software was for OS 9 or earlier and it frankly stunk out loud. This, which works in OS X, was great. Well worth twenty bucks if you want a quick and easy way to do CD’s with curved lettering, photo backgrounds etc. Came with some cool clipart as well.
Then I got another cool software recommended by one of the guys at work. This is Live Slide Show by Totally Hip Software. Sort of a cross between iPhoto and iMovie with the better features of both. I made a long and slick slideshow of NYQuilts! photos and exported it as a QuickTime movie. How cool is that?
Finally – upgraded to Adobe GoLive 6. Haven’t had a chance to play around with that yet, but it looks wonderful and I can tell you that it’s about 100% faster loading and response-wise than GoLive 5 in Classic. One more thing for OS X.
Finished my quilt and it’s ready to go to TN for the show there. Did a bunch of other stuff I’m sure….. Visited with my folks a few times. Uninstalled the time-gobbling but OH so wonderful game Black and White. Wrote lots of letters to important people. Even got in a few hours sleep. I admit to wanting a wonderful wonderful dinner and something like a martini or a fabulous bottle of red wine to go with it. OK A girl can have a fantasy, right?
