I purposely took Black Friday off because it’s a hell day. Word is that it was indeed, but the problem is that the hell continues. Double our recent average workload on Monday, about half again more than usual today, and tomorrow is supposed to be worse.
So much for catching up on my sleep with the long weekend… Grrr…
Needless to say, I’m not doing much once I finally do get back from the suburb of hell that is my cruel and unusual employment *laugh*
I’m using the time when I’m not running a mile a minute to muse. It’s cold enough now to put my hood up and my headphones on, so having tunes ( Game music with no lyrics mostly ) helps with that, along with keeping me from losing my mind.
I have that beginning I mentioned locked in, and part of the scene fleshed out right down to wording. I’m writing it in my head when I’ve got time so I can just type it out when I’m finally feeling awake enough to write it.
I think I’m going to take advantage of what I’ve taught myself to fix that annoying error on the front page with the “What’s New” section. Something changed a while back, and the default feed from the blog no longer contains dates. The code that displays it on the front page defaults to the last cache time, always showing posts as “today”
Changing to the advanced 2.0 rss feed causes the code to choke and display nothing.
So, I’m going to ditch the out-of-the-box feed code and write my own, using what I’ve learned in the process of planning an automated Lit contest tracking program. It will be even easier than the tracking program, because feeds are designed to be read by machines, with handy tags built right into the generated html.
Of course, that too will have to wait until work isn’t trying to kill me :p
Now, I need to try to get the young one in bed so I can try to get more sleep tonight. I felt frikkin’ horrible all day the last two days. On top of how bad it actually is, I wasn’t remotely expecting it, and that makes it twice as bad.
