Not looking forward to work tomorrow. We’re taking on a new, big-name client’s freight and they’ve decided they want to see how we handle things. That’s just fantastic. Everyone loves trying to get their job done while someone’s looking over their shoulder just waiting for them to screw up. To make matters worse department heads and region heads are coming out of the woodwork to schmooze the new money. Funny how you don’t see or hear from these people for months, then you screw up or some new client needs a good butt-sucking and there they are.
After work tomorrow I think I’m going to try to get some pages added to the site. I’m planning on putting up my webcam if I can only think of something anyone would actually want to see. Also, I’m working on an FAQ section based on the linux help I dole out in #slackware on undernet. When someone gets help I can add the question and the resolution (given that there is one) to the FAQ and just paste a link to the thread instead of helping people with the same thing over and over as is usually the case. Well, that’s the idea, whether I can find the time to impliment it or not is another story.
Well, it’s taken a good deal of my free time for the better part of this week, but I finally got my theme done well enough. The experience has really shown me how rusty my web development skills are. The last time I got paid to do a website css was in the very early stages of design and wasn’t even close to usable. The theme still needs some of the extras activated and the css could stand to loose some weight, but for now it’s close enough for the chicks we date.
I’m still debating on whether or not to enable comments. I’ll have to do some serious looking in to how people go about preventing comment spam, but hell if i’m going to tonight, I have two weeks worth of comic reading to catch up on.
Finally found the time to set this shite up. If it hadn’t been for DreamHost’s nice one-click install feature it probably would have been a while longer before I got around to it. Now comes the seemingly long and arduous task of customization and configuration. Looks like I’ll have to dig out that css pocket reference and fire up gimp-devel and get to work. Add to that the seemingly never ending data entry on my comics database and I don’t think I’ll have time for much else this week.
