Don't you think so? Future generations will teach it as a form of classical literature.
My documentation project is going well. It doesn't bother me to do end-user documentation; actually I feel it serves a number of purposes. People at Berkeley tend to not do this, to the best of my observation, because they feel it compromises their job security. If no one can figure out how to maintain their stuff, they will be more needed...but it's not true. I've already seen this several times. If someone leaves, they leave, no one knows how to do their stuff...so the stuff stagnates. Eventually, it's tossed, and some other poor bastard is brought in to reinvent the wheel.
That's likely a cynical perspective? but, again, imo it does not hurt to record what you're doing. Software is like paper clips—before there were paper clips, did people know they needed them? Typically you have to develop software in anticipation of what people will need. Documentation can create more of a market; if more people understand your products and how to use them, you can drum up more future projects.
Plus, there's nothing like a screenshot to illustrate all the little things you overlooked, and can still fix. lol No I haven't released this stuff yet.
It went back to being cold again today, and I had to slap together an outfit. Ah! In my dreams I have this...closet...somewhere to hang clothes after ironing them, without having to squash them in like sardines. What am I even talking about, the sardines get to lie neatly on top of each other. At least tomorrow is Friday.Labels: yadda yadda

Dress: Garnet Hill
Cardigan: J.Crew Jackie in "Pearl"
Belt: gifted
Nude micronet stockings
Shoes: Cydwoq Category
Necklace: made by my daughter
Sorry for the generally lousy photography; I'm totally knackered. My daughter made this beautiful pendant for me, from a Venetian glass bead I didn't know what to do with. Here's an earlier incarnation of it:
They still don't make this kind of glass anywhere else (though Americans make art glass); it's relatively expensive because of the process—they take a piece of actual gold or silver foil and layer colored glasses over it.
I'm starting to make a document, actually a training manual, of our software. My department never had a programming "department" before, just one guy slaving in a back room (my co-worker), but it's becoming cheaper to hire specialized programmers, than it is doing everything on paper or spreadsheets. In better times, you could hire extra staff to pick up the volume my department handles...but now we can't do that, and our volume has increased, pretty dramatically, every year since I've been there (2008).
With our new IT department, we're able to create a more integrated product than before; instead of the co-worker slaving away and me slaving away, and once in a while we look up and say Hi to each other, we can now plan out this giant system of interacting programs. Here is where the manual becomes key, because otherwise no normal person will know all of the available programs or what they do or where they are.
It all seems obvious, but my co-worker started doing a back end years ago, and it just sort of grew... Okay, in my secret fantasy, we have a training video too, like this:

Earrings: made by me:
This outfit had commenced with a Jackie "Pearl" cardigan (worn here among several ootd pics), but it was too darn hot today to bother putting it back on for this!
Was pleased how Warm Taupe Bettina fared...I washed it out last night and hung it over the shower curtain bar so the frill dried upside-down (White Ash Bettina's frill had flopped, when dried the usual way).Labels: jcrew, ootd, tulle clothing, updo, work wardrobe

Top: gifted (also worn here)
Cardigan: J.Crew Jackie in "Pearl"
Skirt: gifted (it's denim)
Shoes: Cydwoq
I bought the shoes online, at a substantial discount, without having tried them on, nor even having seen them. Easily the last time I'll do that, particularly for Cydwoqs, which by definition are unusual, a bit hard to fathom on your foot.
Yet, I didn't dislike them sufficiently to return them. The angular cut-outs were kinda cool, after all, and they were this greyish greenish color, and fit perfectly, and were way comfortable. Sometimes you want to put something like that aside. If the quality is crap, I'm all in favor of reclaiming precious closet real estate, but if the quality is there, sometimes it's more a matter of timing.
Today was the day to take them out and show them some love. Now that it's officially autumn, naturally it's gloriously hot, almost summery? I love hot weather. I tried doing a ponytail (it bombed, frankly, a bun would have been better), socks (yay!) and the shoes...and took a long walk—really very comfortable.
I made these earrings a while back, from "baby" coin pearls. Got the idea from Midori Jewelry, one of my favorite handmade jewelry sites. Everything on the site reminds me of water, the sea, somehow, it's peaceful and relaxing.Labels: cydwoq, jcrew, ootd, shoes, weekend wardrobe

Shirt: Banana Republic
Vest: gifted
Skirt: J.Jill
Shoes: Cole Haan
An exception to my own "Never shop at Banana Republic" rule: men's clothes. This is a man's shirt, albeit a small-sized one, and it's pretty cool (sort of a 1970's green).
To go with, peridot earrings I made last year.
I finished the last tracking screen today; the works is in test. Hm. I ran through them all using production data. So far it's okay, but of course you want the staff to test them. Software testers are more valuable than gold.
Should I tell my co-worker I finished the tracking screens? lol Or should I pretend to continue working on them... I finished them early, because I can do that. I'm capable of working like two or three people...both of us are, we had to do that for about a year. (I'm just joking, I already told him.)
And now, some worthy blogger reads:
Misc.: The great pantyhose debate? Not quite...
Jojoba has a lovely makeup blog—it's the only one I read with any regularity, it's that good—perhaps it seems a bit cheesy to link to one of her non-cosmetic-related posts. But it was so funny.
At first I thought, eh, these Aussies make my life seem dull and boring. Then I realized she must refer to what we'd call "leggings" over here, only an, uh, Australian version.
23 September 2010 – Jackie O?
On a more serious note (hard to get less serious haha), I rather enjoyed this thoughtful post on academichic.
I suppose I'm fortunate, since there's a dearth of female programmers at Berkeley. No one has a clue what we're supposed to wear, so I get to wear whatever I want to, pretty much. Programmers generally are shy, but civilized and nice to be around, so again I feel lucky.
But I like to think of the "new" female workforce as fashion pioneers. Our news media seldom mention there are now more women than men in the U.S. paid workforce, but hey, these women have to wear something! More integration into the workforce should mean expansion of wardrobe norms.Labels: banana republic, green shirts, jjill, ootd, work wardrobe

Top: J.Crew tissue turtleneck in Champagne
Necklace: made by me
Cardigan: Jjill kimono sleeve
Skirt: gift from husband
Tights: Wolford
Shoes: Cydwoq Recess
Today, may I say, was rare perfection. I dunno, the BART was on time, the sun emerged, work sped along on the giant screen of doom Internship student tracking screen...I'm improving the document tracking this year (meaning next summer). It's slightly complicated, because we have required documents by student type, two review stages, file reject feature...I didn't like how I had it last year (meaning this year); it's one of those things which had to be up and running in a hurry.
I made this necklace to commemorate the first day of spring, actually; it's every green stone in the bead box—peridot, aquamarine, green amethyst, tourmaline. It's not something you think of, and buy the stones for (or at least I don't do it that way); it just sort of comes about, after you've collected the stones over some years.Labels: cydwoq, indie, jcrew, jewelry, jjill, ootd, shoes, work wardrobe

...then you're doing it right (knocks wood, crosses fingers).
Top: J.Crew Bettina Cami in White Ash
Cardigan: J.Crew Jackie in Wild Mushroom
Skirt: gift from husband
Nude micronet stockings
Shoes: Cydwoq Category
Freshwater pearl earrings: made by me
Thought I'd play with some strange bedfellows today; I've done black and brown many times (one of my favorite color combinations in fact), but grey and brown?
Here I drew upon an earlier observation of J.Crew's ingenuity—how a neutral color can bridge warm and cool in the same outfit. The cami is definitely warm—I tried it with my navy blue Jackie and it clashed.
While the skirt is cool. Normally I would wear black shoes with it, not dark brown.
It's the Wild Mushroom cardigan which pulls everything together: what you don't "see" is usually what makes something work.
Ah, I was working on an I-20 tracking screen today, part of the International section. It appeared deceptively simple (it wasn't my screen originally), but typically those are the worst. We have a number of business partners and a hand-off to another department to process I-20 documents (close to 2000 applicants last summer)—some partners want I-20's sent to them, some want it sent to the student; some students are not attached to partners, some are. You want to show the correct mailing address and contact info, track who's updating I-20 mailout and when, and the carrier and tracking number. We have more than one staff id, because we're changing tables, and a number of permissions involved. And it all has to look pretty—which is something I insist on. It's underrated in software development, but pretty screens are easier to use. Typically our staff are thrown into the fire, so I try to make the interfaces as intuitive as possible.Labels: cydwoq, jcrew, ootd, work wardrobe

I'm trying out the "mound of cornstarch on old oil stain in fabric" thing. Supposedly (half wondering if it's an urban myth), you can remove even old oil stains in fabric, by laying the item flat and placing a small mound of cornstarch on the stain (talcum powder may be used instead). Leave it overnight...the cornstarch is supposed to suck out the stain. At most the procedure may need to be repeated.
My ModCloth Last Hurrah Sale items arrived. The two tee shirts, by Korean company POL, are as gorgeous as photographed, but they're both quite big. Usually size Large isn't, well, large. I'm going to try shrinking them in the dryer, even though they appear pre-shrunk?
The lace blouse is even more beautiful than its image...you're supposed to dryclean it though. I don't dryclean anything these days (unless it's something inevitable, like a wool suit), so I'm trying out washing in a mesh bag, cold water, Woolite, delicate cycle.Labels: maintenance, modcloth, wardrobe

I grew up in Top 40's America; the only songs played on the radio from Walls and Bridges were Whatever Gets You Thru the Night (featuring Elton John) and #9 Dream, both of which I adored.
But the record itself was a gold mine.

Does anyone write songs about email? How about texting?
Give me a ticket for an airplane
I ain't got time to take no fast train
Oh, the lonely days are gone, I'm coming home
My baby, she texted me.
It isn't quite the same, eh?
Top: J.Crew boatneck painter tee in Soft Dove
Cardigan: J.Crew Jackie in navy blue
Necklace: gift from husband
Skirt: Heartbreaker Fashion anchor print (detail here) at ModCloth
Boots: Cydwoq Extreme
Ah! Finally a pic of the boots. The mid-calf height is versatile in our climate; on many days, tall boots would feel hot. I've worn these in the dead of winter (okay, for us that usually doesn't mean freezing, but it does get cold) with wool tights, but here, they're fine with bare legs.
I'm currently working on our International screen (my department's internal tracking system). I went for that next because it has the most records involving document processing. PHP is faster than Lasso, to the point you can get away with some interesting processing ideas, but of course you like to test out the speed on a bigger data set.Labels: cydwoq, jcrew, modcloth, music, ootd, videos, weekend wardrobe

Same outfit here only with my Cydwoq Category shoes (also worn here). You can't see it, but I have on these earrings:
I made these (note the niobium earring wires—great for metal sensitivity).
I'm converting our tracking screens to PHP; twelve screens with different functions, but some common functions. The concept is to centralize as much of it as possible, otherwise you're stuck altering twelve screens. PHP is actually more conducive to this than our current language, Lasso, because function construction in Lasso is kind of clunky.
So, that was my day...and my department was nice enough to take us out to lunch. I wanted to look nice, so went for something I'd worn before.Labels: cydwoq, jcrew, ootd, shoes, work wardrobe

Top: J.Crew Tissue turtleneck (navy blue)
Cardigan: J.Jill kimono sleeve (I have another one in taupe)
Scarf: gift from husband
Skirt: Velvet by Graham and Spencer (worn here)
Navy blue stockings
Shoes: Cole Haan
The scarf is black (not navy) and grey, and reverses to the same pattern only with black squares in a grey grid. I suppose it all looks rather coordinated, but this outfit was assembled quickly, as follows:
- I'd thought it might be chilly, hence the turtleneck (the navy one was the only clean one at hand), sweater (cotton with a teensy amount of cashmere), and longer skirt.
- I'd really wanted to wear the navy blue stockings with something. These are surprisingly versatile.
- Figured the scarf would add a bit of warmth, so went with that instead of a necklace.

How many versions of this song have I suffered through, from the mawkish (Barry Manilow) to the painfully hip (Mel Tormé)? They all slaughtered this song, except for her. She alchemized it.
I finished the pager, on Monday actually. As usual, my co-worker was right: it adds much functionality. I made it like the Google one, where it initially shows 10 results, and if you click the #10 link, it becomes the center of 20 results. You can scroll back and forth pretty much without thinking about it. There are cases where we have to go through a lot of records, plus it makes any kind of testing easier.
Wore this today:
It's longer on me, of course. Sometimes it's good not to be overly tall—mini skirts aren't mini on you. This is a fine-textured plaid, brown and cream and chocolate brown? black?
Along with, I wore a dark brown Eddie Bauer turtleneck, this sweater, but in a soft greyish-brown, not black:
...dark brown tights, and Cydwoq boots:
Yes! some day I'll take a pic of the actual boots. They're mid-calf, which I find exceedingly handy in our ever-changing weather.Labels: cydwoq, jjill, music, videos, wardrobe

Should I add a random-access feature to my pager? Currently it has First, Previous, Next and Last links, and where you are—say, 1-50 of 200, 51-100 of 200, et cetera.
I had to bring this up with my co-worker, and he always guilts me into adding more features.
Him: What if they want random access to the results?
Me: mumbles... They should use the filters; the idea is to encourage people not to pull up the whole honkin' data set every d*** time.
Him: quizzical look—how could you not add a random-access feature?
Me: Okay, Yoda, I'll add it.
I don't actually call him Yoda, but it is valuable asking his opinion, even though it usually means more work.
Do I look a tad fried? I'm still thinking about the pager. May the Force be with you...lol
Cardigan: J.Crew Jackie in Dark Charcoal (worn here and here)
Top: gift from husband; one of my favorite shirts. It's just a black henley tee shirt with a little white piece of cloth sewn to look like you're wearing a shirt under it.

This is the skirt I got at ModCloth in March this year:
And MP Checkered Pattern tights. Here's a detail of the pattern:
I was in a hurry this morning, but another reason I like this cardigan so much: it works like a black cardigan, but looks softer and a bit less usual.Labels: jcrew, modcloth, ootd, weekend wardrobe

Overheard on the BART (public transit):
Person 1: They're not paying me. I'm gonna give it another year for things to settle down, then I'm gonna transfer out.
Person 2: (encouraging person 1 to argue for more money) ...All the heroes who have endured...
Person 1: They all got stiffed!!
I suddenly remembered this song a couple of days past, when it was "unseasonably" hot (my co-worker says we now get four seasons every day). The Stones released it in the summer, so I can't listen to it now without recalling the heat—Norfolk, Virginia, before centralized home air conditioning became the norm—and I was fourteen, so I got the campiness of it all. "You're just a poor girl in a rich man's house..."
Culled from The Sartorialist:
So what is more important, fashion or style?
I attended a few fashion shows today and I have seen some very "fashionable" young ladies. But, they always come up short when compared to the young ladies doing their own thing.
I know what this season's trends are suppose to be and this young lady doesn't really fit into any of those forecasts and yet she really stood out from all the other pretty young things.Labels: internet, music, odds and sods, videos

What a weird weather we've been having. I'm actually getting used to it; the key is to walk really quickly and (sighs) I think this concludes my short-lived experiment with socks. I tried it out again today, with these lovely EG Smith's:
 image courtesy sockdreams.com
and my usual Cydwoq "Recess" shoes:
Ths thing is to fold the socks down a couple of times, otherwise you look like a kid you look like a twenty-something. It was too cold today for this get-up, so, as I say, I've gotten into walking faster.
I take a walk every day, pretty much, because I don't take breaks otherwise, and my company is nice enough to let us combine breaks as long we're reasonable. I can't complain; the scenery is almost freakishly lush, as Berkeley-ans are heavily into gardening. I've seen plants I haven't seen since I left Virginia.
Tomorrow: some flavor of cotton tights, if it's gonna be like this. :)Labels: cydwoq, shoes, sockdreams, wardrobe

An include that includes other includes? You're better off with an absolute URL.
On the other hand.... Here is the most conservative look I ever do, and it came about in part because what I'd wanted to wear had sailed off the clothesline during the night. That alone would not faze me, but it'd flown into a saucer of water, and it had a spider on it, and some sticky seedpods... Too much for the beginning of the week.
Cardigan: J.Crew Jackie in Dark Charcoal
Top: J.Crew Jackie Shell in Pearl
Skirt: gift from husband
Shoes: Cole Haan
Here's my foray into nude micronet stockings. I'm likely the last person in the U.S. to try these, they were on my wishlist for months, but I finally got around to getting some. I really like them; they're trendier and cooler-feeling than regular stockings, and dressier than no stockings. The thing is to get some with a fine net, so they don't look too netty.
Aristoc Cotton Rich No Show Footsies, revisited
While I was at it, I got some of these in the Medium-Large size. I have a size 8 foot, so there ya go...these did fit—unlike Small-Medium, which slipped off my heels.
I prefer these to the K.Bell footsies, if only because they're thinner. K.Bell's stay put a bit better, but feel less comfortable inside shoes with which you don't normally wear even thin socks.
The Medium-Large just fits, though, I'm not sure they would work with larger-than-average-sized feet.Labels: jcrew, ootd, shoes, work wardrobe

Get outta here with those cute shoes! Even worse...
- simple tan ankle boots: bought in Bandung
Oh thanks! I'll keep that in mind next time I go. :D
This is precisely the boring basic black skirt that seldom gets reviewed or photographed, but it's exactly what I need. I'm short a plain black skirt, just as I'm short one pair of black shoes.
This comes in two lengths—yay! Why can't other companies do that? The "long" is typically two inches longer, so the one I'd get would likely hit right at the knee on me.
Likewise this one comes in two lengths; it was my first choice, but sold out quickly. I'm not familiar enough with this company to know if they'll restock it.
Now here's an eye-catching design; it's velvet, and the print comes in four colors (the black and putty pictured, dark purple and magenta, black and chocolate brown, black and a sort of grassy olive-y green). It's tempting, because something like this virtually is the outfit, buuuuut...I dunno. Is it useful?Labels: internet, shoes, wardrobe

 Vintage Shoe Company Gentle Woman's Brogue, Sundance Catalog
Like magic, the shoes I was drooling over the other day appear, albeit only in brown, on the Sundance Catalog website (they carry some of the boots as well).
Hm. I don't require more brown shoes, but the notion of being able to try these on appeals (perhaps they'll pick up the black version later). I'll buy clothing online, sight unseen, on the strength of fashion bloggers' descriptions and photos—when I've attempted buying shoes online, it's invariably bombed. There's a dearth of Cydwoq or other alternative shoe blogs (this humble blog qualifies as one, believe it or not); the expense of shoes is unconducive to indie blogging.
Okay, should I consider the trendy brogue as my potential next shoe? Cheaper than the Thierry Rabotin's I've been randomly coveting, yet cost is not the determining factor for shoes, for me. I have shoes; I can wait. A shoe must be comfortable, ruling out many inexpensive dress shoes, and has to last (likewise).
I haven't decided yet.
 Summer Soles fabric sample
Summer Soles Ultra Absorbent Insoles review
After fiddling around with Fragrant Footings, I broke out a pair of regular Summer Soles for my Cydwoq Category shoes, worn here:
Good thing, as the weather turned summery a few times this summer! I'm happy with both versions of insoles so far. Regular 'Soles are a bit cheaper than Fragrant Footings—you could add a dash of scent to regular 'Soles I would suppose—they're both a felted blend of wool and rayon, apparently. Quite adept at keeping feet from turning soggy.Labels: cydwoq, maintenance, shoes, sundance catalog, wardrobe
