Managed to squeak out another 500 words on Lowborn.  About to get to an important little scene that’s going to figure strongly into the ending, and I’m tired as hell, so I’m going to take a break.  Would have probably written more, but storms forced me to shut down for a while.  Not risking my computer in all that lightning.

At an important ( if not quite so much as the one in Lowborn ) scene in SOTM 18 as well, so I don’t want to work on that while I’m not at my best either.

As promised, I avoided the temptation to code tonight. *laugh*  I did sketch out the database table for my “latest releases” so when I’m ready, I’ll have that on hand and ready to create it.  Then, it’s a matter of figuring out how to call templates under the new system so I can get the beginning of my back-end functions.  There’s examples for pretty much everything else in the new content system, but not for that.  I’ll have to dig around a bit.

The slow part is going to be getting back on the coding horse, and learning the basic ins and outs of the new system.  By the time I finish with my first back-end + widget, I should be up to speed enough to crank out some content at a much quicker page.

One thing I like about the new system is that I can restrict damn near anything — on any page on the site — by the forum user groups or settings selected in the profile.  That will give me the opportunity to do all sorts of things with ease that would be difficult otherwise.

Okay, I’m going to write a little smut in my third pen name, and then hit the sack.  Maybe the weather will cooperate to let me write more tomorrow.
