My concentration is zip the last few days.\u00a0 I can muse and muse away, but when I sit down to try to write it, my brain grinds gears.<\/p>\n
Work’s been irritating, and the young one has been uncooperative.\u00a0 That’s probably it.<\/p>\n
Weekend is coming, and I still have a nice, large bank of time-off hours for work.\u00a0 I need to save at least 7 in order to do what I do every year, which is take off every Friday between Thanksgiving and\u00a0New Year’s\u00a0( plus a spare day in case I get sick, the car breaks down, etc., so they can’t take away one of my scheduled days off *laugh* ) but I have at least ten right now, plus I should get another one in October, plus I don’t think they’ve added in the Labor Day floating Holiday yet ( not sure )<\/p>\n
Regardless, I have at least a couple of days I can take off over the next couple of months.<\/p>\n
The young one has been sleeping in on weekend mornings, so I usually have a couple of hours of quiet time in the morning.\u00a0 If I can get woke up, I can usually get some writing done then.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, since I can’t concentrate on writing ( mainly visualizing ) I got a few more things done for the Shorts.\u00a0 I finished my two utilities to approve and reply to comments on short stories.\u00a0 I also fixed a bug in the actual story display page that was only showing up in Chrome ( dumb tag omission that\u00a0Firefox and IE both ignored\u00a0)<\/p>\n
Reorganized my admin main page while adding the links for better efficiency as well.<\/p>\n
Added the email push to alert me when a new comment comes in, but it’s pretty basic right now.\u00a0 I’m going to add a little bit to it so that the email actually tells me what story the comment is on, etc.<\/p>\n
The anti-spam code is sitting, waiting to plug in.\u00a0 I’m just holding off on that until I’m fully done testing comments, so I’m not hitting the anti-spam database with unnecessary queries while making fake comments to play around with and check my code.<\/p>\n
The only real thing left for the shorts now is the utility to populate the shorts database.\u00a0 I need\u00a0more than one complete story to truly test it, but I can cheat and copy the complete one into multiple copies during the testing phase, and then delete them afterwards.<\/p>\n
Well, the young one appears to be down for the night, so I’m going to try to wind down a little and see if I can get some writing done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
