Squeeze A Bit

| | Tickle My Senses (1)

How to fit your life into 21[+] categories? Well manually, one by one... It took me about three days to assign each post [638 by now] to a category. There is no other way to do this with Movable Type, well there is, but I'm not sure if it would make a difference time wise... It's also not easy to categorise: I find myself stuck at times thinking if I should create another category or not or just squeeze that entry into one of the existing ones without giving it much thought... It can be quite difficult, trust me!

I suspect Movable Type is much slower ever since I upgraded to 3.3.4. It takes for ever to write something to the CGI directory. I have no clue what it is but I want it to be solved asap because it starts to become utterly annoying! I had to sort out the categories so I had to do this but hopefully there will be a patch of some kind for download on their website. I need to read into this to see if I'm the only one having this problem. Might be running a faulty process in the background without realising it...

My Dutch friend Inge in Scotland called to announce that she bought the most advanced MacBook, welcome to the real world honey! I'm happy she spent the money on something decent. I will see if I can provide her with some juice since I seem to be a pusher to some of my friends when it comes to Mac related bits and pieces. She even tapped shamelessly from the source of Mac knowledge which is hidden in my brain. I don't blame her really, I would've done the same. I reckon that's the Mac Users attitude, we all seem to be helping each other out when needed.

We've been to Atlantis Art Materials, jeez what a great place that is! huge! and filled with all my favourite crayons, paint, ink, paper, handmade paper, canvas, brushes, glue, jars, pencils, pens and much much more. A. called it my Aladdin's Cave, filled with treasures. I just had have a good look at all the stuff there, it's my heaven, my paradise and so familiar, almost so Dutch... At least most of the acrylics are from the Lowlands. A. happily pointed it out to me *silly guy* I could contain myself and only bought brushes for other people... One for C. and eight for my aunt which I will send off to the Lowlands by the end of the week.

Spring also has arrived; it has been brilliant for four days already, beautiful sunny days! Just warm enough to make the endorphin run wild... finally.

I had the fun of putting all my posts in to categories as well when I moved to wordpress.

So if Mac users all help each other are you trying to say us PC users out for each others blood? :p

About Tess


Occupation:

Expat Life: I moved from Amsterdam to London, Aug. 2006. Things didn't quite work out as planned and I found myself on my own in a foreign country.

Reflection: 2007 Has been a difficult year but I've managed to accomplish a lot more than I thought I ever could. I've set up my own business, survived a serious health issue, met some amazing people and found my future...

Personality: At times stuck in a time warp of ideas and thoughts, Mixed Blood [Eurasian seems to be the fancy word for it: Indonesian and Dutch], typical Capricornish Goat, Sensitive, Crazy about Apple Macs and anything related, Gadget Girl, Intelligent, Psychological profiling of all kind, Sucker for all sorts of stuff that makes my OS run like: Coffee and Chocolate, Deep Thinker, Perfectionist, Foolish, Silly, Stubborn [WHAT?... ME? I don't think so... tsk, pffft....]

Indulgence: English full breakfast once in a while when not counting calories, Indonesian fried rice and a Sateh [Nasi Goreng] like my great grandma used to make, Thai Tom Ka Kai or Thai Green Curry Noodle soup original traditional recipes, definitely a peaty Islay Scotch preferably shared with my best friends in Scotland [Inge and Frank] and a Dutch coffee when I'm in Amsterdam with a piece of Dark Chocolate!

Proud Owner: Mac Classic †, Mac LC II †, PowerMac 6500 †, Performa 6800 †, Power Mac 8200 †, iBook Tangerine †, PowerBook G4, iPod shuffle, iSight, Power Mac G5.
