New Couch
New Couch
We got our new couch from JCPenney last weekend. We weren't expecting it until mid-December because we had custom fabric put on it. We're glad to have it for Thanksgiving because we're having company over for food and games. I think the red (berry) fabric was a good choice, as it adds some color to the room and it matches the chair we recently purchased. The rug is new as well.
cleverswine.net is new
cleverswine.net has been updated. It's something I'm messing around with, along the lines of a "lifestream". I don't like to call it that, however, because it's not my "life". It's really just a summary of my online activity.
What I’m Working On
Here's what I'm working on What I worked on. Right now it's just a basic display of feeds from some of my social networks. I'd like to fancy it up a bit at some point, perhaps with some nice jQuery tooltips. I'm using the SimplePie PHP library to fetch the feeds (each one asynchronously). The design is borrowed from Popurls. I know it's not that interesting, but it's fun for me.
Welcome to blog.cleverswine.net
This will be the new home of my "blog". I have moved it here for several reasons. Mainly, the novelty of personal blogging has worn out and I'd really like to try out some cool new stuff on my base domain (www.cleverswine.net). That's not to say I'll never write anything again. I'll continue to update this blog on occasion. It's just that I'll be shifting focus to some other experimental things, like aggregating my web activity for display, showing photo albums, etc. For the next couple of weeks, my base domain will be more of a development sandbox while I create random things and throw them on there.
Meanwhile, be sure to update your bookmarks and feed readers with this address.
We Have Moved
We moved in to our new house Friday. I don't have many photos yet because we are still unpacking. So far, almost everything has gone well. DirecTV is unwilling to get on our roof to install the satellite dish. Apparently, it is unsafe. We've asked for a second opinion from another installer, so we'll see. Other than that, all is good!
Some photos are here, with more to come as we get settled in.
Also, today is our one year anniversary! Congrats to us.
