Ya, coding today. E wants a poll for the showcase so I went on my site and started playing with pollphp. In the beginning it was not intuitive that the admin is where you go to see all the poll lists and templates. After poking around a while, I finally got the hang of it. But it still took a lot of trial and error to make the survey somwhere close to what I like. And then embed it into a page on the studio site. Pretty happy with what I’ve done.
Last night sitting in bed watching TV and knitting, I got the urge to write. But I didn’t like to balance the heavy and usually hot Vaio on my lap, so I just had to sit and wait out the urge. Having something light like the MacBook Air was certaily suited very well for those moments where hauling a heavy notebook is not desirable. Netbook seems to be the closest to that advantage and it’s not very expensive. hmmm.
Also in the process of figuring out how to be more mobile with my photos and music. Right now, they are on a few external drives shared from a desktop at home. But when I’m on the road, I lose access to them and have to wait till I get home to do what I need to do. Maybe a small external HD would do the job. I’m carrying one to backup the studio data anyway and it would be nice if I can also bring all my “data” with me on the go. Just checked and after all I only have 5 Gig of photos and under 30 Gigs of music anyway. The advantage is I’ll always have those with me when I need to add more photos or listen to some music. The downside is I’ll have to sync it with the hard drives at home so I have a permanent place for them. hmmm. I wonder how online storage works. Will it be easier for backup purposes? I should check into that.
