One day I’ll actually read the book Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and I look forward to finding out what it means. In my last update I predicted I’d be finished transferring listings from the old website to the new on Tuesday.
Well, it didn’t happen. Firefox did it’s usual upgrade stuff and all of a sudden it wouldn’t let me into the back end of the website. Zip, nada, nothing…totally useless. I was forced to go to plan B which was to access it Chrome, not too bad except when I look at each individual listing it shows me the html coding. Fabulous, I love learning html but not when I want to transfer everything quickly. Copying from this into the new website creates problems and each listing suddenly took twice as long. I did what I could but had to leave some to Wednesday when so many things went wrong, in small ways only, but they mount up and I’m now left with less than 40 listings to transfer and not a lot of time. I’ll do what I can today but tomorrow is Problogger event day and I’ll be lucky to have any time other than travelling time and then Saturday I’ll be at Armaggedon.
If you’re a blogger you won’t get a ticket to this Problogger event day as they’re all sold out. Last time they sold out three times, this time they’ve only managed to add an extra 100 tickets. I suggest you keep an eye his website for future events. This is a conference specifically for people who blog, you don’t need to blog for a living, just so long as you write a blog or are planning to write a blog you’re eligible to attend. The price has gone up since the last one but not too far, I do hope he manages to keep the price down for future events to make them affordable for everyone.
Saturday and Sunday are Armageddon. This is going to be fantastic. It’s for all those people who love Doctor Who, Star Gate, DC Comics and so much more. It’s described as a pop culture expo. I’m only going on Saturday and I’ve been talked into dressing up for a part of it, there will be photos. I know I’m going to regret this but there will be photos.
With all of that going on I won’t have a lot of time to finish those listings until Sunday and I’m going to be trying to get some family time in there. It will get done!
now I need to know what you’re dressing up as (or Who?)
I’m afraid I can’t go this time around – 1) my costume isn’t quite ready (for some reason I thought it was the following weekend) and 2) I have to get Megan to CRANBOURNE! for a dance comp in the afternoon. Oh well… There’s still SupaNova in November I guess…
I wore my Moist von Lipwig hat DD made me for the Nullus Anxietas Convention in Sydney this year. One day I’ll get it in my avatar, it’s rather distinctive. We were meant to be belly dancing and I was planning on putting some stuff over my clothes but it got called off. We did manage to hand out lots of Nullus flyers and sell lots of chocolate as fundraising. Seeing as we only picked it up yesterday we did quite well.
We did look for you, just assumed you’d be there. That’s really sad, what’s your costume this year? I love seeing your costumes as you’re a really good sewer. Hope she went well in the dance competition, we should catch up. There’s always SupaNova, but not for us as it’s the day we leave.
