"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

So I'm updating my mailing list from mailchimp, and I'm entering the data into quickbooks, somewhat woefully thinking it's a shame that there's no where else to put the mailchimp special info requests other than the notes field in quickbooks, which is only sort of queryable. I'll have to go back through manually to make sure everyone gets their dvds, and then I'll have to make a note that they did.

And then I accidentally hit the button directly next to the one I've been using for the past eleven years. It says, "Schedule a new todo"

<headdesk>

Of course the functionality is there, I just never noticed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Whew! I added a tumblr share picture button to Venus!

It's below the picture: [link]

Should I move it above?

Okay, then, to learn:

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

No, below looks good, I think. I would want to scroll to see the whole picture before I decided I wanted to share it.

Trust my rage

I know this is not the point, but that is a stunning picture.

*Now* I need to work out how to tweak my web log reporting to track that usage.

Fun times!

Thanks for the feedback, guys (and Stephanie, there's totally a reason I was testing with that pic--a) I wanted one with a caption and b) I wanted it to be really easy to look at for an hour or so).

Compassionately intolerant

I totally agree with Liese about the button on the bottom.

And, for what it is worth, I don't find those ads intrusive at all.

It is a stunning picture. I just love it.

information libertarian

So, if you were me, and you were hanging out your shingle to do freelance librarian/research work, what would you call yourself? I am going to specialize in 3 areas: visiting local libraries and archives to scan/photograph/transcribe items that are unavailble online or through Interlibrary Loan; teaching research skills and streamlining research workflows through the use of digital tools (Zotero or related software, dropbox, etc.); and organizing and getting online home or institutional (church, etc.) libraries. Sort of want Cincinnati in the name as a lot of the appeal to researchers nationally is I am here and can check stuff for them. I need a formal name and something that can go in the url whatchamacallit.wordpress.com. Ideas?

More seriously "Researcher" slightly less seriously but still might work "Consulting Librarian"
