43 Things on “minimize existing clutter and excess possessions”

February 27, 2006 in Miscellaneous by Julia | No comments

I was look­ing around the house this morn­ing before I went to work and just went “UGH!” Clut­ter, clut­ter everywhere!My sister’s garage sale is planned for some­time next month and she says we can do it with her. The Good Mews yard sale is in late April or May; any­thing we don’t sell at my sister’s can be donated to my favorite cause. DH is bring­ing home boxes—time to get labels, put prices on, and start fill­ing them up.

PHP and MySQL”">43 Things — On “learn PHP and MySQL”

January 23, 2006 in Miscellaneous by Julia | No comments

Progress so far: bought two books online—the Visual Quick­pro guide came today,Learn­ing PHP 5 is on the way. Went to http://www.php.net/ and down­loaded some tuto­r­ial mate­ri­als. Down­loaded the PHPList pack­age and tried to install it at work, got server errors, emailed Hunter for help. I looked at some of the PHPList code and it doesn’t make sense yet. But it will.

43 Things — On “manage my finances better”

January 23, 2006 in Miscellaneous by Julia | No comments

I did get the lat­est ver­sion of Quicken and installed it, archiv­ing my old data files and start­ing fresh on 1/1. Last night I got the checking/savings records up to date and paid a bunch of sadly over­due bills. It’s a small start.I used to be pretty suc­cess­ful with sit­ting down at the com­puter every Sun­day night, pay­ing bills and updat­ing records for the week. I plan to get back to that. The other thing I need to do is get Quicken con­nected with the invest­ment accounts so I can fol­low the 401(k) progress.

43 Things — On “keep up with my journal”

January 23, 2006 in Miscellaneous by Julia | No comments

Okay, the big stum­bling block here is not always hav­ing it with me. So this morn­ing before leav­ing for work I cleaned out the mes­sen­ger bag I use as a brief­case, pulling out some things I really don’t need to carry and con­sol­i­dat­ing the rest. That made room in the bag for the Sketch­Fo­lio in which I carry the jour­nal. Now I’ll at least have it at home and at work with me—for other occa­sions I’ll just have to pull it out of the bag and bring it along.

On being a glass artist

January 14, 2006 in Business, Lampworking & Glass by Julia | No comments

I want to make beads that other peo­ple will love and want to buy from me. I’m not sure yet exactly what style of beads I will be mak­ing, but it will not be just today’s hot style of beads. I’m going to make beads that I love, and then let other peo­ple that love them have them.As of now I have been flame­work­ing for almost eight months, though for the first three I did very lit­tle since I didn’t have my stu­dio and equip­ment set up. I can make basic round beads some­what con­sis­tently; I can make bar­rels and olives that look more or less like they are sup­posed to, though they still need con­trol. I don’t have much con­sis­tent con­trol over press­ing yet. As for dec­o­ra­tion, I can sort of han­dle frit, but I need PPP with stringers and dots.
