elfsToday, I woke at six in the morning and immediately set about digging into the visuals of two programming different projects. For one of them I'm doing a natural feel, roses, pink cloth, and dark woods, and I had the frustration of acheiving the engraved effect I wanted with the title page, but then not being able to reproduce that effect later. I did discover the layer, transform, offset effect along with the "heal" effect in the Gimp, allowing me to make a reasonable tiling effect so the sidebar can stretch as long as it wants, but the cuts on the top and bottom were flawed and you can see it. I'm feeling perfectionist.
I also discovered Django's evolution module. It was very useful in doing data migrations when I updated my database, but migrations are still sucky in Django compared to Rails. Which is a pity because I like Django a lot more; it's too bad there's too much to know, and the mindset of a Django developer isn't quite blossoming in my head quite yet. I'm too old-school, WebObjects. All this hand-holding ORM stuff is new to me.
Been kinda down otherwise. No energy. Played a round or two of Sorry! with Kouryou-chan. I cooked a cassolet this evening with fresh beans that everyone else thought weren't softened enough, even though they soaked for eight hours. Took care of my laundry. That kind of day.
