CRL website development [sigh]
It's website review time again at work - actually I think it's everything review time [sure feels that way].
Anyway, we're revamping things just a little and as a result I get to go play with Google calendar, or whatever other calendar options are out there that we could use for our website for a "What's On" page/section/etc.
I love playing so that's the good thing. Not too sure how helpful it's going to be though - the biggest challenge to any What's On page is always getting the branch staff to contribute and tell us what they're doing (sometimes it's harder than pulling teeth, and trust me, I can get blood out of a stone!!). A few branches are really active but some of the others, ........... [sigh]
Not to worry, spot of lunch and then it's valid play time....... yay!

nswRISG on RedBubble
I'm so excited!
After a couple of hectic weeks trying to sort out the legalities, the financials, & the technicalities of artwork the NSW Reference & Information Services Group finally has a RedBubble account and some tee shirts to sell (at no profit I might add) promoting just some of the various activities they're currently involved in - #bookbinge & #risg2010 for starters.
Check it out - http://www.redbubble.com/people/nswrisg
10-15 days delivery is advertised but I was lucky & my shirts arrived in only 3 business days.
A huge thankyou to the RA team for floating the tee shirt idea & to Ellen for all her hard work in dealing with the legalities & financial aspects (making sure we don't make a profit & don't breach any Australian laws). I have to say I had fun playing with the artwork & using GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) for the very first time.

Playing with graphics
I've spent the last 2 days playing with RedBubble - www.redbubble.com.au - and Gimp - www.gimp.org - turning images from one sphere into wearable art in another sphere. Challenging. Scary. Rewarding. Fun (my bank balance may never recover from the resultant retail therapy!!)
