Silliness Neko-Chan's T-Shirt list - Page 13

zelda_pinwheel · 09-10-2008, 08:53 AM

mail this morning :
"Hi from CafePress.com!

We have shipped your package"

yay !!!!!!

(no tracking on international orders though.

i guess the arrival day will just have to be a surprise.)

neko-chan herself couldn't have said it better ! i think that should be the new slogan of the shop.

UPS tracking showed that my ensemble was in Houston 36 hours ago but oddly it still hasn't been delivered. The Blue One, Next To The Fish is indeed elusive!

We could have that. There are a couple of shirt styles that come in a nice dark chocolate brown color, too.

Hee hee hee!

Does the site organization work for people? I just decided to shorten the left sidebar menu to just show sections rather than also showing all sub-sections, as I thought it had gotten too unwieldy. As a reminder, you can use the "Browse Stuff" control on the left to see all the journals, all the mugs, etc.

Speaking of which, all the journals are presently text/images on a white cover. I could make colored backgrounds, if that would be better.

'K. Got my list ready. Now I just gotta wait till payday so there's money in the checkbook and hit order. I may add a travel mug if they come in before then, otherwise, it will have to wait.

i betcha my (original) list could beat your list. screen shot battle ?

pshrynk · 09-10-2008, 10:37 AM

If I knew how to take a screen shot, sure, I'd be willing to be publicly humiliated.

zelda_pinwheel · 09-10-2008, 10:47 AM

oh, pshrynk. pshrynk pshrynk pshrynk. seriously, you don't know how to take a screen shot ??? *sigh*.

if you were using firefox it would be the easiest thing in the world (have you heard of portable firefox, by the way ? runs from a usb key drive, no installation necessary, no admin privileges necessary, which means you could even use it on that ridiculously locked-down and crippled machine they've inflicted on you at work).

*but* since you're using The Bane Of My Existence (otherwise known as IE), what you have to do is press the "print screen" button on your keyboard (it might be called something a bit different... i'm translating my french one). on my keyboard, that is the top left key in the little block of keys between the main keyboard and the numerical keypad, along with the "home" "end" "scroll" "insert" "delete" etc. keys (9 of them altogether).

that will copy whatever is on your screen (*all* of it) to the clipboard. then you open your image edition software, create a new file (which, if it's anywhere close to as good as photoshop, will automatically be the right size) and then paste the image in there. then you can crop all the extraneous bits.

if your cart is longer than the height of your screen (like mine...) you'll probably have to do that twice, and scroll the page down in between.

if you don't even have any image editing software, i suppose you could try pasting it into word...

you let me know how it all works for ya.

speaking of screen shots :

it's the end of the world !!

You should still have the Microsoft "Paint" application. That comes with Windows.

Here's a screen shot of what I ordered. I have posted it because with the new organization it is hard to find. When I click on the Blue One from the main screen (or the left menu) it offers three options and it takes a bit of drilling down to find it.

With luck (and a few more paychecks) we may be able to keep Neko-Chan in business through the holidays. Who knows, perhaps the Ministry could be merged with the regular MobileRead Cafepress site in the future.

I want a t-shirt with e-ink, so that I can change the message.

Do you want me to put the extended left menu back? I just thought it was kind of long.

Cool idea ... but how would you wash it?

I've just gotten over my own terminal indecisiveness and decided I definitely need a fish coffee mug, one of the larger ones so my fingers will fit in the handle.

I love the t-shirts, but I hardly ever wear t-shirts any more, so it's tougher to talk myself into them.
