i tried out the last.fm client for iphone today and wow… streaming audio over the 3g network was flawless. neat!
i also made a little iphone bag for the bed. i listen to music when i go to sleep and am always afraid that it will fall on the floor or that i’ll roll over just right and break it.
i sewed up a little pouch with some ties on it and a hole in the bottom for a power cable.
the bag is tied to the bar on the bottom of the headboard.
no more worries. i can even charge it as i sleep.

For Jodi’s birthday, I opted to make ice cream instead of cake.
About 90% of the time that we get ice cream, she gets coffee with chocolate sprinkles.
I found a good looking recipe online:

A bit of a pain, but soooooooooooo good! We had pre-dinner ice cream when she got home.
With sprinkles of course.

yes, i’m alive.
not being in front of a computer all day makes me less posty.
let’s see… tomorrow ends my 2 weeks off (for those who may have missed it, i got a new job and was laid off on my way in to quit. no, really, i went in to tell my boss that i was leaving and he greeted me with my exit package!)
over the last 2 weeks i’ve done a ton of sculpting, painting, etc…
i finished the sculpt for the clone visor, made the mold, cast one up and painted a cody helmet.
i’ve almost got the codpiece and butt plates done on the clone sculpt, which pushes me well over the 1/2 way point and into “almost done”.
got http://www.watchcityarmory.com/ up and running at last. it’s all in mediawiki. technically it’s stormtrooperguy.com rebranded. it just seemed easier that way. gotta get email set up for it… google apps rocks!
cleaned up the basement quite a bit, including rearranging it.
i got an iphone 3gs on release day. yay video! yay better camera! boo on at&t for not having mms ready yet. jodi now has my gen1 iphone and seems quite happy. speaking of, boo on the fact that the 3gs gets worse battery life and requires a different power supply than the gen1, meaning my clock radio is no longer a charger. boo indeed.
i start my new job on monday. 2 weeks of loafing has been fun, but i’m ready to get back to it, and excited about something new. it’s in waltham too, so the commute is VASTLY improved, and i suspect that i won’t encounter junkies shooting up on the street at the new place.

I got the idea into my head to finally start working on the new Boba Fett section of my site, with the gauntlets being the first piece.
I got sidetracked by finding a good multiple file upload extension for MediaWiki. I ended up going with MultiUpload. Simple install and easily configurable… what more could I ask for?
With that in place, it was much easier to upload my images. MediaWiki REALLY likes the images to be locally managed, and I tend to agree — Having all of your images contained within MediaWiki will help prevent dead links.
So one extension later and the Boba Fett section has content! Not much, but it’s a start.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll pick at some other parts of it, probably the helmets. That will take a while… I think I’m on my 10th different one now! Ooh, and I can actually take photos of the poor Jango helmet that I made a long time ago.

The Fett gauntlets are done! Both in the sense that the scratch build that I started over a year ago is now finished, and that I’ve produced a kit and assembled/painted it. Hooray for FINALLY being done with that!
I’ve also got the mold finished for a second Toon style clone helmet. I need a few buckets for myself, so rather than getting in Sean-We’s way with personal stuff, I can just make my own. Then we can make them faster if needed.
Tomorrow I won’t really get much done on the crafting front, but that’s OK, I’m getting tons of stuff done!

wow… it’s a flood out there. chances of basement remaining dry? zero. i guess this is a good test to see if my repointing of one of the leaky spots did the job.
i hope it’s not like this tomorrow morning. that walk to work will suuuuuuuck.
otherwise things have been busy this week. lots going on, little energy left at the end of the day to post.

After a several years long saga, 501st.com is back in the hands of the 501st web team! There was a whole complicated mess about domain ownership/registration that’s not worth getting into, but it resulted in us using 501stlegion.org for a while with some funky redirects.
As of about 10 minutes ago, 501st.com is now fully managed by the legion webmaster. I just twiddled the necessary knobs to make it work on the legion web server, and all is right with the world.
It is strangely satisfying to see that project come to a close!
