I’ve tweaked and fiddled a bit, and now have a satisfying version of my website for mobile browsers. It all should just work, with a link to the full site on the top right should you prefer that.
I still want to tweak the layout, the pages list only shows up at the home-page, where it maybe should show up everywhere — navigation matters. Also the search box shows up at the bottom, but maybe I should move it to the top.
I’ve added the little snowman to the home-page at least, to sync it with the main site’s design.
I have also tried to keep it small. It currently loads at a 135kb for the main-page. Looking into making it less KB (the full version consists of 1MB of files, also trying to make it smaller). Just because a lot of us have fancy speedy connections doesn’t mean I should aim for that. I aim for the average speed and hope it doesn’t take too long to load either page.

Broken iPhone
Today I ran some errands. I got prints from my lab-work and then headed to the pharmacy to pick up my medication. My MTX went up in dosage so I had to get new prepared syringes. I left my prescription there on Saturday and they told me then to pick it up on Tuesday / Wednesday. So I went today.
Unfortunately, when I got there and after waiting for a bit, they told me they wouldn’t give me more because I picked up my prescription two weeks ago already. I explained that I got a new prescription for a higher dosage right after I picked the other one up. The girl at first thought the prescription said 15mg (old dose) but upon closer look, it did indeed say 20mg. The note, made by the person accepting my prescription Saturday, said 15mg however — someone screwed up. She did promise me to order it right away and to come back tomorrow. A bit annoying.
I then went to the supermarket around the corner to buy some fruit (tangerines and bananas) and some crackers. I happily listened to my music, feeling slightly annoyed by the pharmacy thing but also looking forward to some nice tangerines. When I got outside and checked my iPhone for the time, the screen had gone nuts. All the while my music played, but the screen won’t display anything sensible.
I suspect tangerine-envy.
Tomorrow I’ll go back to the store to have it repaired. I miss it already.

I installed a rack for my empty pots and to put my herbs on.
Perhaps I can put some plants that like shade on the middle layer.

This afternoon we hiked over a small artificial island (it’s a Dutch
thing). We saw a very weird larva there.
Bf said it eats through wood so I told Nano to sit and stay away from
it so it wouldn’t jump at her and bite her.
Ofcourse she didn’t listen and attacked it, tossing it in the air. It
did seem unhurt, I suspect she wanted to toy with it because we paid
more attention to it than to her.

In an attempt to make my site more iPhone-friendly (and other phone-browsers) I installed MobilePress. It seems to work very nicely, displaying the last five posts and offering a link at the bottom for the full version.
Images also get displayed nicely, and you can even leave comments. Comments don’t display automatically, you’ll have to tap the link.

One knitted armwarmer, lonely. Will make another one, still experimenting. Nice and warm and fluffy! What more could I want?

Just a test to see if I can post from my phone. I will remove this :-) (or not. Check out the pretty mushrooms. Wonder if they became illegal on the 1st with the mushroom-ban)
