Tanja's reception

Yesterday afternoon was a little hectical as Anika had things to prepare as a surprise for Tanja for when she'd get back from the reception, but I think everything got done in time. Anika spilled some watercolour on her dress which she had bought especially for the occasion, which made her unhappy, but she hoped it wouldn't be that obvious since there wasn't anything she could do about it right then (she had already applied water to it).

Harald picked Anika up from Tanja's house and then we drove to Dibbersen, where the reception would be held.

( When we got home, we changed clothes because of the smell of smoke, and I washed my hair, and then )

I blow-dried my hair myself for the first time in years :). I used not to like doing that because my hair usually flies every which way when I do it myself and ends up looking strange, with no coherent shape. On the other hand, when I wash my hair last thing at night, it ends up looking weird the next morning anyway, so I decided to do it so that it would dry more quickly, especially since my hair is getting longer.

I looked up bus and train times to meet Debora today, synced my PDA, read on it for ten minutes until the batteries went flat and stuck it in the cradle to recharge overnight. Then to bed.

LJ friends page on PDA - no dice

I tried to create a custom friends view that would let my view my friends page on my PocketPC as an AvantGo custom channel, but no dice.

I created a style which was fairly minimalist (no userpics, very little markup, no tables, etc.) and it seemed to work out all right. I also had &checkcookies=true at the end of the URL (and it worked in the preview in my real web browser). I also tried to login from my PDA and got a result page (after the next sync) saying "Hello, pne". But still I didn't get friends-only entries when I viewed the page on my PDA.

Also, the links didn't seem to work properly -- I changed the links to include &usestyle=lynx for a "lighter" format, and that worked, too, on my browser, but not in the PDA. So it tried to display the left-hand navbar and indented entries and userpics and all sorts of stuff I didn't want.

After a couple of tries I just gave up and removed my custom channel again. Pity; it would have been nifty.
