On aveleh, synecdochic, and zarhooie's advice, I've settled on a simple 1x1 rib, which will let the yarn shine.

This yarn is so very very soft, I can hardly feel it against my fingers when I knit.

GOODNESS GUYS. Knitting this yarn is like knitting a cloud of soft fuzzy sensual love.

I'm doing Bug 216: Renaming, and maaaaaan.

It's kind of funny -- I studiously ignored most of the renaming support requests back on LJ, because it seemed complicated and I didn't want to dig into the code, and now here I am, writing similar logic from scratch *snickers*

I'm having great fun. This seemed like one of the projects where tests would have a great effect, so I spent some time figuring out how to write tests from scratch, rather than just trying to tweak existing tests.

My tests look kinda like this:
( tests )

I'm coding by first writing a bunch of tests, then writing code to make the tests pass. Every time I think of something new I should check for, I dash off a quick TODO block and then go back to writing either my test or my module. That helps me not lose my train of thought, but also means that I don't lose my ideas.

I'm starting with a small set of limited functionality, and then gradually expanding the scope. I actually started by disallowing everything except user-to-unregistered, and now I'm relaxing the rules as I add more. So far, I have personal-user-to-unregistered, with redirect and without redirect, and lots of checking for whether $fromu can rename to $tousername.

I'm in the middle of user-to-other-user, where the second user is just moved out of the way.
I estimate that I'm only about 10% of the way through -- I still need community-to-unregistered, community-to-other-community (or journal??), two-username-swap, keeping or removing various links -- subscriptions and the like, then catching edge cases (loops, openid attempts to rename, etc). And then I need to integrate it into the shop. And after that, I need to build a frontend so people can buy it from the shop *g*

At some point, I'll probably need to catch someone in chat to ask certain questions about the renaming process -- what should happen to usernames that were renamed away from, is swapping usernames one token or two, should you be able to rename a comm to a journal and vice versa, blah blah blah, buuut that can all wait a bit, because I'm sure I'll end up with still yet more questions.

Yay, I just got my first credit card!

Delivery man came by the office to drop it off; I have been bouncing happily since yesterday. There's a bunch of stuff online I'd like to buy or pay for, but which I have never been able to do so, because I don't have the means to get my money from point A (my wallet) to point B (the seller's wallet).

And now I can.

I'm trying to figure out how to budget so that I don't get hit by sticker shock when the bills come in, but it feels great to have some measure of ability to buy stuff online :-)

Buying stuff from, say, Amazon just got so much easer. And then there's all my other current obsessions hobbies.

I have already gotten recommendations to try yarn.com -- and offers from friends to act as intermediaries for shipping from knitpicks.com. I'm trying to be disciplined and shall work off my current stash first.

I have twelve balls of bamboo-wool blend, plus the four balls of cashmere PLUS the merino wool I mean to make into a top PLUS the everything else I want to play with, and I'm trying to be responsible about using up stuff before getting more

*wibble* Being responsible is hard.

Oh man, my mom wants me to knit a scarf for my grandpa and she's so enthusiastic about it, that she bought me four balls of cashmere (two dark brown, two light tan) to knit into a scarf for him.

I'm somewhat overwhelmed. It's like she's become the soccer mom of knitting! She's taking the scarf I knit (need to take a picture) and showing it around the family table and she keeps boasting about the fact that I'm knitting and I basically sit on the sidelines and try to act dignified and not like I'm laughing my ass off.

I think it's hilarious that she's going to such lengths to promote me in my knitting. But I draw the line on her trying to help me pick out a pattern she wants me to knit for grandpa, or at her trying to get me to get my grandpa to pick the pattern I want to knit for him -- shooed her away from that idea as firmly but politely as I can; I want some bits of this to be a surprise. In fact, most of it will be, since my grandpa thought I was using some local gold-flecked red (SO VERY CHINESE) fuzzy novelty cotton-blend yarn which my mom made me show him, but this was before she handed me four balls of cashmere.

(No, seriously. Yes, SERIOUSLY!)

I'm nervous about knitting this stuff, though. It feels so much more expensive than what I usually knit, and I'm terrified of messing it up. But I found a nice masculine pattern: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/seamans-scarf, with the only negative being that I don't think I can make it look nice as two-toned.... unless the cabled portions are a darker shade, and the neck portion is lighter? Trying to decide if that's a good idea.

I'm nervous enough about working with new material (cashmere) + working with new technique (cabling), that I think I'll need to drop by the local yarn store for a consult, and probably cable needles. I have tried cabling with some acrylic yarn; the no-cable-needle method was awkward; the with-dpn-substituting-for-cable-needle-method was slightly less awkward, but still a lot unwieldly and possibly dangerous.

Anyway, back to my mom and her reaction to my knitting. Maybe I should teach her to knit, and then she won't have to hang onto my knitting, ahaha. Oh no. Oh yes. Oh... maybe. Hmm.


ETA: aveleh suggests that with wool that nice, I could get away with a simple striped scarf in either 1x1 or 2x2 ribbing (I have not knit any full projects with ribbing, though I am familiar with the technique, so I am just not sure whether I'd prefer the effect of 1x1 or of 2x2.)

Then with this random stripe generator, I can come up with random stripes easily. Colors not entirely accurate, but good enough.

I wonder why the art here looks so familiar? Has anyone on my read page posted pictures about these before?

I like Eris, who is the kid. She's adorable in the rather angst-filled way these stories go.

Tres has a sense of humor (or is that justice)? WHAT OMG

And he said Negative.

Watching:

Trinity Blood - Episode 1

Vampires have taken over the world! Apocalypse occurred centuries ago! There are Crusniks and Lost Technology and Master Keys! The world is dark and gritty and kinda steam punkish!

I'm rather a sucker for characters who act all dorky, but are secretly cool, like really secretly REALLY COMPETENT AND COOL. See also: Trigun.

Everything is just over the top enough that I can sit back and revel in the over the topness. I think I'll like this.

(Is the Jessica Lange thing going to go well? I hope so. I'm also a fan of characters who grow in a series, and it is very rarely that you get a girl doing so :-))


Honey and Clover - Episode 1

There is a dorm! With thin walls!* And boys. And um, stuff. I dunno.

It looks like it'll be kinda standard Japanese high school anime sweet and funny but I'm really twitchy at the whole Hagu thing (is Morita just fundamentally unable to explain what he's doing before pushing a girl around and reducing her to tears? But I guess that's part of his rascally charm?

It's not so much Morita that bothers me so much as it's... Hagu is eighteen, not twelve or ten or eight years old, but eighteen, and she can't do anything but be cute and/or cry, which I know is meant to be cute and adorable, but it is just so bor;juaflkasjfcva -- 'scuse me I fell asleep on my keyboard. I dunno. I'll try a few more episodes to see if the series is for me)


* oh, but thin walls. There has to be a storyline that takes advantage of that, eh?


Blood+ - Episodes 1 & 2

There's um. Flashbacks With blood. And then mystery! And also fighting, and blood. Secret weapon thing. More flashbacks. More blood.

Knife guy is fundamentally unable to say anything that isn't Serious and Portentous and Dramatic -- it would take much less time to say something rather than force himself his blood on her in the middle of a fight. But blah blah blah, dramatic tension, okay.

The girl is okay. The redhead guy is okay. As long as I'm not expected to believe that knife guy is okay, then knife guy is okay, too.

Little brother is cute *pets* We'll probably never see him again after these preliminary episodes *sad* Please say we'll continue to see long-haired girl who's main character girl's friend :-)?

Edited slightly, and posted to http://dw-styles.dreamwidth.org/13219.html


The basic settings to customize your theme can be accessed and modified via the Customize Journal Style page. However, if you're doing something more complicated, you may need to modify code snippets or manually set some variables. For these, you will need to know how to create a theme layer and attach it to your style.

First of all, a quick rundown of terms:

A style is what is applied to your journal, and it is made up of several layers. A layout layer is the basic structure or framework of the style. Customizations via the Customize Journal Style page will be saved as auto-generated customizations in a user layer. Any other modifications you make, you should do in a theme layer. A theme layer can contain system-provided default color settings; it can also contain any additional advanced customizations you wish to apply to your journal.

Technically, you can just modify a user layer, and it seems easier to do that, because it's already been created for you and you can skip the few steps required to create and attach a new theme layer to your style. However, this is a bad idea, because hand-edited changes to a user layer may be erased the next time you use the wizard. To be safe, always create a separate theme layer if you need to edit something manually.

(!! the links will work from single entry-view; they'll also work from read page, etc, when I post the final entry)

• Find your current style information
  
• Create a new theme layer
  
• Copy existing theme layer settings to your new theme layer
  
• Apply the new theme layer to your style
  
• Tips
  

( on with the tutorial )

For the record, I now hate the advanced customization area and want it to die die die :-) Setting things up is way more complicated than it should be

ETA: Posted! http://dw-nifty.dreamwidth.org/4374.html (with minor edits, including removing exclamation points *g*)


So many people do not know that Dreamwidth has had custom reading list colors for a long time now!

Putting up a draft entry, shall polish and post to dw_nifty or dw_styles (but I think I may need to do a "here's how to create and start editing your theme layer" first, which I keep putting off)

Enable the custom reading list colors defined by your style

Custom reading list colors are disabled by default, so you'll need to enable it, but it is available for all styles (with the exception of Zesty).

Go to Customize Journal Style, under "Additional Options" select "Use my custom reading list colors"

Most styles implement it as a border around the userpic. However, some styles, such as Negatives, have implemented it as part of the entry border. If you don't like where your style puts the custom colors, you can also customize them by setting some variables in the advanced customization area.
