It’s been a rough week at work.  I’m writing a little on SOTM 18/Lowborn 07  and coding a little behind the scenes.  I’m getting something done every day, but just not enough to really report.

Hoping for better days as the week goes on, or at least a peaceful weekend =P

EDIT: Just updated to IE 9, and realized that the titles and such were invisible with one of the settings in my theme in the new browser, so I’ve disabled the “added feature”.  Be sure to give me a yell in a comment if you see anything strange like that.

Got a bit more writing done, but nothing really big. The young one was actually in a mood to have company quite often this weekend, so I spent a lot of time playing with him. The between time wasn’t exactly conductive to erotic writing. Going from flipping him upside down or tossing a frisbee to writing pr0n wasn’t exactly an easy transition *laugh*

So, I mostly coded in the between spots. Latest releases is now fully functional, and loaded with the actual last 10 releases. Even though it won’t be available on the public pages for a while yet, I’m going to update it as if it is. So, when it goes live, it will be completely accurate and up to date.

I’ve puzzled out all the conditional things to filter images, text, links, etc. and have tested all of it with every permission level.  The latest releases coding covered pretty much every element of every other function I need to write, so I’ve done all the hard work now.  From here on out, I’m just using what I’ve already learned ( and already coded.  I can reuse a lot of the modules I’ve written on other pages )

The next step will be the “my work” database, showing everything about all my stories.  That’s the critical part, and once that’s done, I’ll probably do the final tweaks to everything else, and link it all up on the public side.  Some of the main links will be greyed out for a while until I code the backend modules to fill the databases, but my stories will all at least be linked and detailed.

Promise I’ll get back to writing.  It was just too hard to stay away as close as I was to a breakthrough, and it wasn’t a good weekend for writing erotica anyway.  Once Roust is back with a fully functional computer and gets me back SOTM 16, I’ll be itching to get more stuff out.  As it stands, that’s sort of slowing me down.  I know that nothing is moving forward toward release until he’s ready to edit it.

I’m off to bed.  Hope to be back with real writing progress tomorrow evening — most likely Lowborn.  That’s another one of those “I’m so close I can taste it” things, and I’d like to finish the story to start posting it.

Finished the new blog logo and did some initial reskinning.  This may not be the final form, but it does mesh up with the site a lot better now.

Looked around and found the reskinning tool for the forums.  Remarkably easy utilizing the color-picker add-on for Firefox to eyedrop colors off the main site and paste into the forum.  Whip up a quick logo, and the general scheme of the main site carries over into the forums and blog now 😀

Off to write.

EDIT: Just heard back from Roust.  He’s in one of those sections of the country that’s been getting pounded by tornadoes, so the weather is adding to the problem of his main system being in the shop, leaving him stuck on a laptop.

Naturally, his own writing and comfort are paramount to me, so I’m not pressuring him to get the edit done.  As soon as it’s done, I’ll put it in the queue the following Monday.
