This is so me. I actually bought skirts the other day. SKIRTS! It’s ridiculous.

The prints are here.
The prints are here, and they look pretty darned awesome! I have to pick up enough mailing tubes to cover the orders, which I’ll be doing tomorrow after work, and then I should be mailing them out! (I’m so psyched!)
I can’t decide where to hang my copy. Decisions, decisions….
Two items of note
1) The prints are UPS’ing their way to me even as we speak.
2) Trying to draw people kissing is damn hard.
Weekend wrap-up
Well, the bedroom trim is painted, the house is clean(er), and I got to hang out with my sister for a while…. got a massage, that’s always good, and found the diningroom under a mound of stuff. Nighthawk appears to be feeling better. Jessdog got in some serious sun-time, which makes her a happy puppy. And despite how horrible the art looks in both the Saturday (past) and Monday (upcoming) comics, I feel pretty good about them – they’re awful, but a darned sight better than I did a year and a half ago when this ship launched.
Work this week promises to be as hectic as last, but with things a little less crazy at home and closer to conquering the new schedule. See you on the forum.
The prints have been ordered.
I’ve ordered the prints and will have them sometime near the end of next week. Coolness!
Print preorders are open
Print preorders are up in the store. No guarantees I didn’t break half a billion things in the process. Went with Google Checkout because Paypal made signup a pain in the tail.
Pointless technological annoyances
I work in the website support department of a big huge company who I’m not going to name here, and I’ve got a degree in software engineering, so I’m well-versed in the financial expenses inherent in software testing and development.
Still, it does nothing but piss me off when a cool marketing gimmick like the Target Red Hot Summer Sweepstakes looks like it’s going to be all-browser friendly (flash interface, cool effects) until you try to do something useful like take advantage of the “free music” offer and then find out that hey, since I’m not running Internet Explorer on Windows, I’m not invited to play.
I know there are some folks who hate the little “Best Viewed With” messages that adorn many websites, but frankly, I’d rather be told at the beginning that “hey, this cool thing? NOT YOURS.” than get halfway in and find out. (I’d also rather have a “feedback” link right under it.) I mean, dammit, if a company’s going to be lazy-ass and not write code that everyone can use, they should at least be courteous enough to tell us.
Fun fact of the day:
Based on my web stats for July, around 80% of the humans who hit my site are on Internet Explorer on Windows. (18% of you brave souls are on the IE 7 beta!), around 7% are on Firefox on Windows, around 7% are on Firefox on Mac, and 6% are on Safari on Mac. My mystery Netscape 3 user has finally given up the ghost.
