I got a little stymied by delays that were beyond my control this past week, but that will not daunt the undaunted. Or me.
I’m still waiting for the frames to get in. I’ve got four paintings awaiting on them, but it took a week longer to get the order filled after it was submitted than I’d expected. Now I’m waiting on shipping.
Speaking of shipping, I ordered from Amazon a few more things to make audio a bit easier …unfortunately, tracking indicates the package has disappeared down the shipping black hole. So, who knows when that will get corrected.
I did discover yesterday that something broke the email on my site. Given all the stuff I did during the update, this isn’t terribly surprising. I’m still getting messages routed by other means or available on the backend (e.g. messages via the contact form), but the direct sending (mostly admin stuff) isn’t happening and diagnostics haven’t revealed the cause. This appears to be an ongoing task until it’s fixed (after which, of course, it makes little sense to keep going on with it).
The new painting was started. I talked about that a little in Picking My Artwork Subjects. I have decided that given my lack of space, and relative lack of viewers, I’m not going to be videoing works in progress. If I had the studio space to keep equipment more-or-less set up most of the time so I could capture good images, I’d probably still do it. Since that isn’t the case, I’ll reserve the art videoing to specific topics and demos for the foreseeable future.
Good news is that I think most of my audio woes following the tripod incident are behind me…though I might need to order a few more rechargeables. I helps to continue to fuel the notion I have for doing some sort of podcast…whatever it might be. Short term might be some combo of blog/pod — either transcripts of the pod, or scripts for the pod — to get me used to it. I don’t know. Still working on it. No rush. Constructive suggestions are welcome.
I know that’s not it, but at the moment I’m drawing a blank. Starting last week and continuing at least through the rest of the month are mostly routine dentist trips for me and the fam. It does disrupt the schedule a bit…especially since it’s not just one isolated visit. Then all the fun spring chores and maintenance needed for the Casa. And taxes. Good times.
