Blog subject lines in a single html file
Do you remember how I wrote about trying to gather all of my journal topics in single text/html file a while back? I finally got around to making it tonight. I installed a very simple to use html editor called KompoZer, which made the work very easy and fast. I didn't have to copy any source code from my journal. I could just copy and paste the text (with the links) from the monthly archive view.
I now have a single html file that has all of my over 2000 entry subject lines in it. This should make searching for specific entries much easier. I tried to post it as a private entry to my journal, but it was too big. That's never happened to me before. I think that it had too many links. :p Well it doesn't really matter as I can access it from my home computer just fine. I just have to remember that I have such a file. >.>
When I'm looking at my old entries I can never resist the temptation of looking at some of them. I mean, if you saw a subject line "Lehmä" (Cow), wouldn't you be curious? The Lehmä post actually had nothing to do with cows. :p It was about writing a longer post (which happened to be my "I'm a HSP" post, but even that has nothing to do with cows). Usually I try to come up with subject lines that have to do with the post, because they're the only way for me to search through my old entries.One other way that I've been utilizing my journal recently is that I have a future dated to-do list that I've posted as a private entry, so it always shows as the first entry on my blog (not on my flist). I update it from time to time, adding stuff and striking out stuff that I've done. This is like the first to-do list that I haven't been able to loose, so it's very handy. :p
Things that have a dead-line I write to my paper calendar, so this online to-do list is only for things that don't have a set time table. I've divided the list into things that need doing and things that I've already done (it's a morale boost to see how much you've managed to accomplish already). Both lists are then further divided into two major sections: things that aren't tied to money. and things that require money. The first is then divided into short term and long term thing to do. The second major section is divided into necessary and possible things to do that need money ("rahareiät" :p). I like things to be organized. :p
I find that often a lot of work goes into trying to remember all the things that you needed to do at some point in time. I've had this list since last June. I think that I worry less now that I can write down things in this to-do list as I don't have to worry about forgetting about them.Christmas went fine. This year it was just our family and mom's companion. All of my cooking and baking projects came out okey. I made the Christmas casseroles and baked some veggie pastries. Around Christmas I always somehow get this drive to do things with my hands. I've done Christmas tree decorations, safety reflectors (heijastimia) as presents and yesterday I made a stand for Nydi where you can put earrings to hang. I'll post photos of them sometime later, as it's easier than trying to explain with words. :p
We went to see a Winter circus show at Kaapelitehdas on the second Christmas day. It was sort of like circus with a plot. I had almost as fun watching the kids sitting next to me than I had watching the actual show. The kids loved the show. My favorites were the two crazy scientists. Especially the little guy (the one on top on this photo) was really funny.
