From the NullPointerException to the syntax error and the point d'interrogation of 1 Belgian @ ~800km from home.
I hope 2012 brings :
* more freedom
* alt+f2 that isn’t a search
* less missing you
* more biking/hiking/going somewhere
* huge pumpkins and a mountain of strawberries
* many beautiful projects
* lots of smiles
and please make it stop raining!
My warmest regards,
Lisje
P.S. in a bout of rebellion I’ve installed Gnome3. I’m not sure. How is this supposed to be designed for usability? Maybe I’m getting old and rusty?
So I’m back in France after a way too short visit in Belgium. It was a short but very powerful visit and I have nothing short of a great smile on my face when I go through the memories. It was great seeing the Norwegian team! Too bad A. from the Belgian team was missing. But I’m sure we’ll meet again soon!
I came home late last night and didn’t get to unpack because I was tired and I had to get up early to go to work.
I however finished the first book of the Millennium Trilogy in the train yesterday and I my secret sock is coming along very well (you know where to look for them). Although I dropped not one but two stitches right before the train rolled into the station and you could hear a small but very powerful Belgian curse echoing throughout the train. But I managed to get the stitches back onto my needle before the train stopped (go me!).
To celebrate the start of a new day, I showed off my beautiful deskworm at work this morning… I confess I should’ve taken a picture of my deskworm guarding my pens en pencils @ work!
I’ve also been spotted with my new “tricotbag” on the bus!
And did I mention it’s cold in Nantes? Brrrr, I had the impression it was warmer in Belgium :|
We’re no longer Sunday, or Monday for that matter, but since I’ve received just one guess it’s kinda clear whom has won my little contest.
However! Since you’re all dying to know what the actual number of stitches was that I’ve knitted, here it comes:
(sleeve * 2) + back
= (13552 * 2) + 34352
= 27104 + 34352
= 61456 stitches
That’s a lot of stitches :|
“Ikke” wasn’t so far off with 54507 stitches though.
“Ikke”, I’ll be in touch because I’ll need dimensions etc ;-)
Hi everyone,
I’m just letting you know that tonight at 21 hours (GMT+1) I’ll be announcing a winner for my contest. So if you were thinking about entering, today’s your last chance! Be quick!
Nothing keeps your legs warm like legwarmers! I’ve fallen in love with them all over again now I’ve been wearing short skirts again. And it’s been lots of fun knitting my “All The Way Up”-legwarmers. They don’t really go all the way up, but they are cosy!
I don’t have much photos to share just yet, since I’ve knitted just one legwarmer for now, but I wanted to share the pattern with you already! I’ll confess that it’s mainly because I’m so happy with having generated and tested the kindle/mobile version of the pattern :-)
So here it goes, I’ve got three versions in which you can download the pattern. I’ll kindly remind you that anything my mind concocts is published with an attribution, non-commercial, share-alike license:

After several months of toying with CSS3 and HTML5, not to mention Responsive Design, I cracked last night and installed a theme floating around in the wild. I didn’t install it because it was exactly what I wanted, I installed it because it was close to what I wanted. On top of that, I had a WordPress upgrade to do and I thought since I was upgrading the backend, I might as well upgrade the frontend as well. However, the theme has some shortcomings in navigation, it isn’t responsive and apparently the search has been forgotten while styling the theme.
So unfortunately my decision to have a working theme real quickly is not going to turn out to be quick.
I also want to tell you that I’ve desactived the lightbox (colorbox) I used for showing images on the site, because it aparently broke entirely. I’ve also removed the share icons from the website since no-one was using them and it thus represented a useless javascript call. In short this means that the website should respond a little faster (not too much though).
Other than that, nothing really new to find on the blog. And apparently my little pumpking sprout has gotten company of another (which is very exciting news) so I’m guessing I’ll be shopping for some pots and soil to plant them for real this weekend.
Also my legwarmers are coming along just fine. I’ll also be @ k’fée tricot tonight so don’t look for me online…
’till soon!
Btw, the new WordPress is looking good.
