7100 - Seven Swans a-Swimming

[scottobear]

At the yearly overview at work, I was praised pretty highly, and referred to as the "sergeant at arms". (due to my keeping my brain screwed on tight, while other tensions rose)

---

Mel and I should have the whole day together today, barring badness. I'm not sure what's planned, but I think an indoor NYE is the way to go, come nightfall.

---

Interesting that I end the year on a fairly round numbered entry. 7100, since I first started this thing. unreal.

Good Morning Newt!

So long to Deuce-double-aught-four.

Some stuff that happened, I may or may not search the journal to linkify 'em.

• Bro's Shenanigans come to a head... Twice!


• D goes *poof*!


• CJ goes *poof*!


• I stay buddies with Whims and Sammy, despite There.com fadeout and they stopped dating.


• Mel goes *foop*! (or whatever the opposite of *poof* is)


• Some other neat new LJ and meat space pals go *foop*!


• Newt's a healthy boy, but I discover he's a bit jealous.


• No serious health issues.


• I maintain a nice email relationship with Gray Pumpkin, and The Wu's seen to have vaporised.


• A lot of weight lost, some of it regained.


• Lots of turnover at work. I'm tied with VS as the 4th longest currently-lived employee, after BK, RI, and LD.


• Stayed with Danny through hurricanes.


• I had a gun put to my head due to a vehicle registration


• Lots of photo-walkabout, including a nice day at vizcaya (pictures spread out over a week)


• Many pictures of Newt, got cam software that lets me do weird blue screens and capture cuteness


• I got a sammich made by a guy with a black eye


• I got radical sandals from my buddies in the East-east.


• I made a scary-scotto icon


• I put bids down on condos, but fate conspired against me every time

Plenty of other stuff too, but that's the first stuff that bubbles to my forebrain.

You Are the Investigator

5 You're independent - and a logical analytical thinker. You love learning and ideas... and know things no one else does. Bored by small talk, you refuse to participate in boring conversations. You are open minded. A visionary. You understand the world and may change it.

What number are you?

Hmm, earlier, I took it and got a 2. must've been a close division.

retest -

You Are the Helper

2 You always put on a happy face and try to help those around you. You're incredibly empathetic and care about everyone you know. Able to see the good in others, you're thoughtful, warm, and sincere. You connect with people who are charming and charismatic.

What number are you?

xml confuses me

[wickenden.livejournal.com]

Your command of your own journal always amazes me. Mine seems largely lost to me. Do you have an index to offline entries or do you use some secret tool of livejournal?

My biggest request would be to give me the ability to have all of my entries indexable, and hopefully backed up to some format that was digestable without some special coding.

Re: xml confuses me

thank you!

There's a couple of ways to index your stuff on lj, but I try to use the memories feature (where you can assign keywords to entries that mean something... like you could put "cooking photos" on all of your suppertime pictures. Big ones for me are love, drama and pictures. the neat thing is that you can mark other people's entries as memorable too, so you can refer back to them much later as well... (as long as they haven't edited/ deleted it, or themselves)

my memories are only sort of sorted here -

more often, since I have the majority of my entries as public... I use google.

either image search, for some stuff -

or regular for specific text.

Re: xml confuses me

a giant index is possible, if you decide to download all of your entries (a month at a pop, I think is the way to go) and then just search using your computer's "find" function. :)

Re: xml confuses me

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

of course, save it as csv, instead of xml, if it's wierd that way.. you can load it into any database proggie... the downside of downloading your journal is that you don't get comments to come along.

Thank you by the way for your kind words! *huggo*
