So I haven’t posted much of any news lately. Let’s see.. so much to catch up on. I got promoted at work and a raise in my salary. Whooo! I am now a Developer instead of an Assistant Developer. So there’s going to be more of me working harder this year.

Bubu and I bought another house (a family home that was converted into a 3-flat) and we are living in the main apartment. My mom led the troops (my mother-in-law and one gramma-in law) this weekend in planting the roses next to my garage and tearing out the spearmint that ran rampant there. The grass was cut and the edges trimmed by other members of the in-law clan. I didn’t do half the stuff I was supposed to do this weekend, but isn’t that always the way life is?

I’ve taken on a new knitting project, a short capelet in this wonderful dark rose color whose pattern was in a book I purchased a while ago: Knitting Over The Edge

Watching music videos on the international channel, we discovered Belanova a great electro-lounge group from Mexico. I must get their album.

This Tuesday my boo and I went to eat dinner at a Thai restaurant and as the after-dinner mint they gave a candy that was the smallest candy I had ever seen.

Just wanted to share because it amused me (thumbnail will open in a new window).

Having fun with sparklines . The Simple Sparklines WordPress plugin allows you to create sparklines inside blog posts.

Kinda not sure how all of it works…

Samples:

I also installed the New sparklines/AWStats integration thingy. It doesn’t work because the AWStats text files are not “readable,” but I don’t have the time to delve in deeper.

What I’m aiming towards is a sparkline that would show the number of unique visitors; The Information Aesthetics web site has it working and explains it in their sparklines post.
