Soon to be printing

Well, not soon, more of soon(tm). I ordered my printer, but from a Chinese importer which means it won’t be here for 10-15 days. The price difference was about a 2/3 ratio, so not ignorable. This will give me time to clear room not only for placing it also, but also for putting it together to begin with.

On other news, I’ve started digging into the composition tool at work. That’s… interesting. It’s a fundamental difference between how InDesign did things versus this. Looking at how it does it, it totally makes sense, but still, it’s a lot to work around. I have to deal with the vagaries of HTML and CSS like I haven’t had to do in quite a while. Just getting a paragraph block to grow up from the bottom of a box rather down from the top had multiple people scratching their heads. Figured it out of course… I threw a table in a div and screw those guys.

With the Wif on swing, I’ve been cooking more. Last week I cooked a chicken because no one else was. It came out okay, but a little raw in some places. Last night she had me pick the remnants and then I made dinner delicious chicken stock. I think that’s going to be one of my goals now. No waste, only stock.
