Retro frames

Seagulls

I was commissioned to make a website using frames. After ripping my pants, hitting my head on the wall and having other dramatic moments I got the work done. Sometime in the middle of all the drama I realized I hadn't done anything with frames since late 90's. At least as far as I can remember.

Kind of retro. So hip, pop and hot. Faded colors and blur.

Wednesday Pop 45

Okay, here's an idea: Add tracks on my collaborative playlist Recommended by You on Spotify. You can also send them to me (tasselflower) and I'll add them. Make sure the track is available on Spotify and not just on your computer. Deal? Great! Here, rest your mind now on something Niko had sent me a long while ago.

Suomeksi (In Finnish): 

Tässäpä idea: Lisää biisejä Recommended by You -soittolistalle Spotifyssä. Vaihtoehtoisesti voit lähettää biisit minulle (tasselflower) ja lisään niitä listalle. Muista tarkistaa, että biisi on varmasti tarjolla palvelussa, eikä vain koneellasi. Tämä viikon popin Niko oli lähettänyt joskus aikojen alussa.

Drupal Comment Notify and AntiSpam

Today a friend told me that the comment notification system on this site is sending notifications on spam as well. I did some digging onto the subject and it appears the Comment Notify and AntiSpam modules don't work together well. The problem has been around since the year 2008! Because I want to keep using the TypePad AntiSpam I decided to give up using Comment Notify. I'm sorry to tell you this means no more subscribing for following comments.

This is my main issue with Drupal: Some of the slightly more advanced modules don't work together well and the developers don't seem to have much interest in even trying to fix them. It's not good press for Drupal in general and it may make even more committed users to make the switch to WP.

By the way, if you have any problems with this site, please let me know. I can only fix stuff I know needs to be fixed. I would appreciate your help so much. You can contact me in a couple of different ways.

Suomeksi (In Finnish): 

Kävipä sitten ilmi, että Drupalin Comment Notify ja AntiSpam moduulit eivät toimi kunnolla yhdessä. Jouduin siis suureksi ikäväkseni poistamaan mahdollisuuden seurata kommentointia sähköpostitse. Jos sinullla on ongelmia tämän sivuston toiminnan kanssa, otathan yhteyttä niin voin yrittää korjata ongelman. Arvostaisin apuasi kovin paljon.

Looking for a new printer

The Dead Printer

Our (very) old basic HP printer quit today. Toni was trying to print some info he needed to get a package from post office and the printer just kept making funny noises. After a while of trying to get it to do anything I diagnosed the printer's current state: It's as good as dead. It even started to spit out some tiny plastic parts.

It's time to find a new one. I already have a scanner I'm happy with, so I don't need an all-in-one-device. I'd love a basic document and photo printer, which would be affordable (aka cheapish). Nothing too fancy, just a simple device for home and hobby (and a little bit work too in time to time). I've heard good stuff about both Epson and Canon basic doc/photo printers. Suggestions, anyone?

Suomeksi (In Finnish): 

Vanha HP:n perusprintterimme irtisanoutui tänään. Etsin nyt siis uutta, yksinkertaista, halvahkoa ja silti ihan hyvää dokumentti- ja valokuvatulostinta. Ei mitään liian hienoa, tämä tulee enimmäkseen koti- ja harrastuskäyttöön, sekä aika satunnaiseen työkäyttöön. Olen kuullut, että Epsonin ja Canonin perusprintterit ovat aika jees. Ehdotuksia otetaan vastaan!
