Laurel Bookstore

12:09 pm in Projects by Michael

I am collecting ideas for a Greisman-run Laurel bookstore. What would be necessary for a successful small bookstore in Laurel?

As with any properly made small bookstore, I figure it must have handmade wooden bookshelves on every possible wall. I’m willing to forgo the narrow aisles, ladders, and perhaps the steps in the interest of accessibility.

Bread

Nicely shaped loaf, made 6/29

Nicely shaped loaf, made 6/29

Made bread at 10 pm, end of the day. Forgot to make a post at the time! didn’t record the indoor temp, but Weather Underground does offer up the outdoor stats. (I had to estimate everything based off the line graphs; for the humidity, I had to just go with the mean humidity for the day. I claimed the interior temp was the same as it was the next day at that time, 80 or 81°F.

This bread used a tablespoon of corn starch (as gluten) plus an additional 1/4 teaspoon.

The bread turned out very well, but still with one sizable internal void.

Bread made 6/29: good, but still has a void

blog posts: scheduled edits?

3:50 pm in Disorder by Michael

I need and have seen blog software that will let you schedule when the post goes live, and can imagine software that will let you schedule the removal of the post (and have seen that in one program).

But now I realize that specific updates may need to be scheduled, too. For example, if the text talks about an event that’s about to happen, then you may want the text changed to the past tense after the event.

Of course, you could always assume that your readers will notice that you were using the future tense before the event, and will understand. But that won’t happen, will it?

Also, it’s possible that you will need to post additional details later — such as materials that are available after a certain time, but not earlier.
