'The family. We were a strange little band of characters...

by tosca on Wednesday, May 26, 2010

...trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.'

~ Erma Bombeck, 1927-1996, American humourist and columnist

In this post, the common thread is Doctor Who. Sometimes, though, you'd like to take that common thread and wrap it around their ears and string them up from the nearest street light, geez. This is a double up post because I was 1) too lazy and 2) too grumpy at siblings to write one up last night - you know how it is with siblings: can't kill 'em, can't bury the bodies deep enough!

RSS feeds. . .

by tosca on Thursday, July 3, 2008


ARGH! That's what I have to say about RSS Feeds. If I could spit on them I would - that might just be frustration talking/typing :)

Have subscribed to some 18 feeds and can't say there was any particular method to my madness (is that a justifiable defense?) and randomly added book feeds, travel feeds, New Orleans feeds (don't ask and I won't tell), entertainment feeds, news feeds, colleague blog feeds and feeds for feeds. Feeds for Africa, my friends!

View them or not: http://www.bloglines.com/public/catatonica but sheesh if I'd have found feeds for wrestling or The Ten Tenors I'd have added them, too ;)

On second thought. . .will add a picture instead. Is a pic of 'The Ten Tenors' (I saw them perform last Friday so YAY ME). What does this have to do with Learning 2.0? Stuff all! But if I'm going to do this I'm going to ENJOY the damn thing :0) And yes, I had to make the pic size smaller for blogger to let it in. KAKA :)

profile pic and fonts

by tosca on Tuesday, July 1, 2008

err geez - putting up a profile pic was slightly harder than I thought it
would be :0)
I took the photo from my bebo page (yes, I have a bebo page. ostensibly to keep in touch with wandering whanau but really I like the pretty skins it offers) and tried to upload it. only to find it was too big.

then had to make the file slightly smaller (drat blogger and a 50kb size limit
on pics)...to find out that the pic was too small. reversed everything I'd
done (if only it were always that simple) and voila!
profile pic successfully uploaded. it does mean that I will have to make all my Batista photos smaller to go on here. kidding! slightly.
