PA site is pretty broken, it looks like. Something in the display image re-sizing. Also, the watermarking's not right, and adoption seems to not work. Artists are scrambling around like panicked ants and it's a little overwhelming. This would have been much easier to deal with LAST week when I didn't have a paltry two hours a day to deal with these things. Or back in May. *grump*

Lots of emails that need answered Right Now, OMG! and some drama that is OMGing me out that I know no details of and really don't want to*.

The fair continues to go well, but is, of course, pretty hectic and I'm not getting much sleep. Since I use up all my happy-smiley-friendly-don't-you-want-to-buy-something-from-the-nice-lady vibes there, I'm feeling a little cranky online when I don't have to smile. Lists of errors and complaints don't help my mood - even though I NEED to know them so I can fix them, of course. Just... frustrating. Human and all. Not really mad at anyone in particular. Don't take it personally, blah blah blah.

Janet gets the above-and-beyond prize again for fixing the lilypad to batch add clings and mini-collections. :) That probably saved me 3 days work!


*Okay, part of me does. The part that likes to snicker at the people at the fair who wear high heels and tank tops that show off more than anyone wants to see and are hobbling around on the uneven ground looking cold and miserable and flabby and unsteady.

Oops. Ignore my suggestions thread for whenever you have the time to look at it, then, didn't want to add to more stress!

No, no! They're good suggestions, and need to be made now! Don't mind the grumpy Ellen - She's just complaining 'cause she can and she hasn't had coffee. :)

PA site: Aurgh!!! I'm frustrated for you! Sounds terrible.

Anyway, now that I've read this I'm reluctant to send you another email. ;) But the batch-edit function in Lilypad is now in serious LIVE mode and not in testing mode anymore. Enjoy!

"Artists are scrambling around like panicked ants"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! ;)


"Since I use up all my happy-smiley-lady vibes there"

When I went to Otakon this one girl gave me a Death Glare...I guess I accidently caught her eye passing her table...at the time she was also crossing her arms in an angry way. Scary! I always feel so bad I don't have a lot of $$ to spend...


"Lists of errors and complaints don't help my mood"

I bet you want to tell me: "Shut up about the three hour waits already and get damn DSL or something!" ;D

Yay! Mini clings and collections!

Hugs Ellen, I'm sure you're coming into the home stretch. And your artists are fine with you because you keep talking to them and they know what is happening and why, everyone is on your side. I just wish we could clone you and give one each to the utility companies because they could sure use a lesson on how to communicate!

(I owned a pair of high heels once! They were pretty and I could even walk in them (not on a field of course)
When I am a rich artist I will buy a new pair of shoes before the old ones have holes in. I promise myself)
