Garden Work, Wedding Invitations, Flea Bath, Laundry Changes
Maria and I worked in the garden again, replanting several items, moving rocks, relocating bags of bark mulch, folding the two large tarps previously covering the woodpiles.
Beautiful day again, only about 70 degrees. Gave Misty a flea bath. Happy hour on the deck again. Revised wedding invitation list with Crystal, making further cuts. Discussed refinancing with Bryan.
Told Bryan and Crystal that we need to reduce water load on the septic tank before the rainy season. Crystal and Nate will not do laundry here after the wedding and Bryan will also stop by then. Crystal knows someone with a new washer and dryer for sale. One possibility: We may take the new set and relocate ours to the house Bryan rents with friends. He thinks there is a hookup. Currently, Bryan does his laundry here, John does his at laundromat, Mike and Emily do theirs at one of the parents' homes. Nate and Crystal have a plan for their laundry.
RadioPoint
Installed the RadioPoint tool and tested it with the web log statistics class outline I started at work. Not pleased by the way RadioPoint handles "deep" outlines. Seems best-suited to outlines with only major headings and one level of subheading. Disabled the tool and deleted the slides directory it created.
Blog Post Title Rework
Reviewed all blog posts (but not categories) to add titles if missing. Posts without titles do not appear in the table of contents. I use several temporary categories to stash items for later review. I don't use titles on those posts, which keeps the table of contents cleaner.
Relative Font Sizes
Implemented home page template relative font sizing based on Mark Pilgrim's (diveintomark) accessibility suggestions. Now you can make text on my home page larger in Internet Explorer using View / Text Size / Larger.
Laptop Maintenance
It has been ages since I last flushed my Temp directory. I did that today and regained 5 GB of space on my 20 GB laptop drive. Now I'm running Diskeeper to defrag the thing. Maybe this willl make the sucker a bit more stable.
