what does it mean? what is it for?

http://www.rivetkitty.com/uncategorized/what-does-it-mean-what-is-it-for

As if I didn’t have enough to do, already. What does it mean? What is it for? January 19, 2009. I’ve been linked to by one of my preferred bloggers, bluemilk. And once again I find myself thinking and not being able to answer my own questions. So, please do it for me and then ask some other people as well? Dads don’t get any of these hormones! Of course they look/are more tired! Some other thoughts I have often thought…. Why does feminism mean not having babies and staying in paid employment? On those gr...

my life ate my life.

As if I didn’t have enough to do, already. My life ate my life. By The Other Zoë. May 10, 2009. I don’t seem to have much left anymore! I have too much! TAFE is excellent, but I hate it too. I’m learning lots, I have some vaguely irritating tutors, but y skills are developing nicely. Unfortunately, since starting the course I have missed a few weeks due to surgery, complications requiring further surgery and then a hasty holiday followed by a sick baby who neede care at home. One great Other Thing has be...

so far! (so good…)

http://www.rivetkitty.com/life-and-times/so-far-so-good

As if I didn’t have enough to do, already. January 22, 2009. One week today, my eldest child and only daughter begins primary school. It is a strange time, full of eager anticipation (all of us), excitement (be-will-derbeast), relief (me, until holidays) and fear (also me, see below). From the very beginning she let us know when she needed stuff. We have possibly too many white socks, comfy black leather mary janes, a paint smock, backpack (bigget than A4 folder, thanks! I am supposed to be commencing a ...

As if I didn’t have enough to do, already. July 30, 2008. I am ill. The kids gave it to me and I am sick, although I no longer am of an age where illness means slobbing on the couch watching Bold and the Beautiful and being glad I’m not in Related Modern History. (US/CIS relations could not be any less relevant, but I digress). This has been going on for almost a decade, and some more notable moments have included: The Village. I try to limit my reality-competition show watching, and have it narrowed now...

blech.

http://www.rivetkitty.com/life-and-times/blech

As if I didn’t have enough to do, already. January 26, 2009. It is 12:30am, after a very lengthy, physically demanding day. I am still awake battling a headache and my newly acquired nightly reflux. I wonder if everybody’s body begins to feel tired as they turn 30? BUT, I have managed to do some sewing int he last few weeks,. Such a break from my normal sewing-for-the-rest-of-the-world! It was pretty quick work, all said and done in 4 hours spread over 2 evenings and with fairly pleasing results! From te...

how to hit the ground running.

http://www.rivetkitty.com/life-and-times/how-to-hit-the-ground-running

As if I didn’t have enough to do, already. How to hit the ground running. February 2, 2009. I really don’t like the term “holding back” when it comes to kids and kindy. I think its quite negative, and a bit blameful. We said we thought W could do with another year of running about before having to sit still and colour inside the lines. And 3 days in we are pretty glad we did, cause it has worked nicely for her. We picked her up at 2pm, it was like she had been going to school for 10 years! Very pleased t...

As if I didn’t have enough to do, already. Literary death of a craft blog, a poem with little technical execution. January 14, 2009. Straight lines. Square! The grey and the white and the black. Tone on tone on tone, texture. Open square bracket insert bold word with no reason or actual link close square bracket. Thanks and gratitude. Circles, squares, images incorporating what it is to. Be nothing. blank. creative. essence. flow. clean. phobia. The depth and breadth of blank walls, my canvas, my space.

not in my patch of sunshine, sweetheart.

http://www.rivetkitty.com/uncategorized/not-in-my-patch-of-sunshine-sweetheart

As if I didn’t have enough to do, already. Not in my patch of sunshine, sweetheart. August 3, 2008. What a crazy week and weekend! I’ve started my new pattern-making course, and it is great! Although I am supposed to be making up 7 toiles this evening, which won’t be happening, due to slippy disc in my back. Except for one amusing moment. We continued enjoying the sun, idle conversation, the funny clothes walking by. I said cheerfully. Thanks. She said. No worries! Don’t try, just do! Exercising my right...

http://www.deadlybloodyserious.com/page/2

Just another WordPress weblog. Django vs feedparser on dates. September 1, 2007. Im having trouble storing feedparser. Results in a Django. Its all about timestamps. Feedparser returns timestamps in a standard time. Nine-tuple, asserting UTC. Django wants datetime. Objects. So, Im trying to translate:. Django timestamp = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(time.mktime(feedparser timestamp). Feedparser timestamp = django timestamp.utctimetuple(). Ive waved a dead chicken at this one all the ways I know how&#4...
