Went in today just so I didn’t have to call in and take an unscheduled absence, then scheduled the rest of the week off because of that coolant leak in my car.\u00a0 Taking it in to get it fixed tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n
So, I sort of have two days off.\u00a0 Don’t know how much I’ll get done, because the young one will be here when he’s not at school.\u00a0 Might get a little more writing done at night, or in the morning if I don’t stay up late, but I’m probably going to prioritize sleep *laugh*\u00a0 I don’t get much of it, and I have to take it when I can.<\/p>\n
Doubt the car will be all that expensive.\u00a0 At least it and the computer both happened with my tax check just on the horizon, so I don’t have to stress over them.<\/p>\n
It may be that I’ll get more done with working on the website than my writing these two days.\u00a0 I seem to be able to work on that a little easier when my young one is around.\u00a0 Trying to create vivid scenes and emotions more or less requires me to concentrate, close my eyes, and lose myself in my writing.\u00a0 Can’t do tha with tornado boy around.\u00a0 Coding is a little more second nature, since I’ve been writing code since the TRS-80.<\/p>\n
(No, I’m not quite that old.\u00a0 Our school was just way behind the times)<\/p>\n
With all my php notes and previous work now hooked up to this computer, plus the stuff that I’d already completed, I’m in a good position to work on that.\u00a0 The next step is designing my behind-the-scenes database and admin functions to update the site dynamically.<\/p>\n
The young one is winding down, so I might just write a bit on Lowborn tonight.\u00a0 Now that I have everything back on this computer, I can double-check some things I need to move forward on that, and I really need to read back through all the unpublished chapters of SOTM yet again, just to refresh my memory after losing them for a couple of weeks.<\/p>\n
Then again, I might just do some of the final clean-up tweaks to those unpublished chapters.\u00a0 There are still a few stylistic changes I’m making with regards to proper names and scene-setting that needs to be put into those.<\/p>\n
Guess we’ll see where my mood takes me.<\/p>\n
Gotta get a new keyboard, too.\u00a0 My wireless one crapped out on me.\u00a0 Damn batteries corroded, and once I put the new ones in, it wouldn’t connect.\u00a0 Oh well, it was ancient, and the software that displayed the caps lock\/num lock indicators onscreen ( it didn’t have lights on the keyboard)\u00a0wouldn’t work on Win 7 anyway.\u00a0 That was getting a little frustrating at times.\u00a0 Now I’m stuck with an old beater off an HP machine, and I hate the bloody thing *laugh*<\/p>\n
My video is a lot faster with the 1GB dedicated video memory, but not blow-me-away.\u00a0 Probably has a lot to do with the “pretty” features of Aero that I’m not really all that interested in.\u00a0 I’ll probably be turning those off soon.<\/p>\n
I’ll also set up my backups to every two days tomorrow.\u00a0 No more worries about lost files — Yay!<\/p>\n
Enough babbling.\u00a0 I’m going to see about getting the young one in bed, and see what I feel like doing as far as writing goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
