I’ve made another new bookmark:

and remastered an old one, so that it’s horizontal rather than vertical:

Since I’m aiming for one bookmark per book, I’ve just created 6 more IRL. Seriously thinking about investing in some card that will go through the printer and a guillotine.

Yet more bookmarks

I’ve got three more :)



This is becoming a little bit of an obsession…

In other news I’ve bookmarked the most accessible books in the collection, and last night I managed to use Andy’s phone to collect data on the newest ones [also, the most accessible ones]. We really need to get around to finding out how Jim’s getting on with making our bookcases because it’s starting to get a little desperate in there…

Radio, Bookmarks, no violin

So, as I mentioned in my last post GeekHappyFunTime has been replaced with a geek radio cast from GRN. We’ve got another show tonight so I hope you tune in!

In other news, I think, because I’ve been so busy the past couple of weeks, February is going to be ‘A Bookmark for Every Book’ month. I went and bought some printer card and a guillotine last Thursday and using the ten bookmarks I have made, I’m intending to print off enough so that all 600 [approx.] of our books can have a bookmark. There are roughly 7 bookmarks to a page, and I have 100 sheets of card, so hopefully that will be enough, and to cover an future additions to our collection. I’m also going to dedicate any free time I have when Andy’s phone is around to cataloging said collection. The app on his phone isn’t the best as it uses the amazon library rather than the ISBN library, but it very quick to add it to the database.

Updates

Well, I promised to update more, and so far, I haven’t been that good at it, but here goes.

Work is going okay despite everything, I feel more positive about everything. I’m not sure why, but I attribute it to Darren, a supervisor borrowed from another store. weird thing is, even though I got on okay with him, he annoyed me no end, and for some reason it made me feel a lot better. Maybe also talking to someone with a little more authority than me about my colleagues made me feel better – got things off my chest without hurting any of them.

So what else have I not/ been doing?

Happy Fun Geek Time: As I mentioned before we’d got a different offer, and our first show went okay. I had a list of things Andy and I brainstormed that we wanted to talk about for HFGT. We had planned those to be between 30 min and a hour, and we covered just about everything on the list. Good that we talked about it, bad that we now have nothing for next week… Anyway The Locian Show with Dark and Dru is on, hopefully, every Monday and you can catch us at 1900h onwards at Total Gaming Radio or Lorcian’s own page. They have an IRC channel too so you can distract us while we’re talking :)

Violin/ Fiddle: In my ‘thing a month’ post I said I was going to aim to make February the time I picked up my violin again, and perfected ‘Mary had a little lamb’. It’s 12 days into feb, and I haven’t done anything with the damn thing except look at it. It’s not that I don’t want to play it, I just keep finding tonnes of other things that crop up instead and get in the way.

I also said I would try and write some more, particularly on Protagonize, but that hasn’t really be going any where. I have three days left to take off so I’m going to take them in the middle or march so Andy and I can have some time together, but I’m also going to try and use it to stick to NaNoEdMO I really want to get the MOW files finished and semi-polished, at least enough to show my parents… And I shall defiantly try to encourage Andy to finish The Stone of Tides. I do wish though that it was a better looking site…

Anyway, it’s getting on in the day [I've spend two hours showering and pissing about on the net] it’s time I did some house work, and all the other odd jobs that need to be done.
