|   A further report on the progress toward the new DemonGin.org |
"Indecision is the true basis for flexibility. "
|
|   | The work-in-progress version of the new http site can now do the following:- Retrieve "static" (i.e. "red") pages from the database and display them
- Dynamically generate the "green" buttons (i.e. archive years)
- Pull static "green" buttons from a modifiable file
- Display a list of all posts for a given year
- Retrieve and display a user-selected post from the archive
The next steps are these:- The SSL version of the site that I will use to host the editor (that I will use and that no one else will ever see)
- The editor itself, including "green" and "red" editing interfaces
- Editing interfaces for "media" and "lymph" content
- Re-factoring of old programs from the "red" menu (e.g. thumbnailr, etc.)
- Ditto "blue" menu software.
- Complete refactoring of RSS
- Search
So yeah...it's pretty intense. And there's a long way to go.
But I recently spent some time in the presence of my coworker and personal python guru and he's the sort of dude whose awesomeness rubs off. I'm freshly inspired and I think I'll make good progress in the scant downtime that I plan to have during my last month in Chicago.
(Spekkio: "Sometimes I even scare myself!")

A certain creative writing teacher of mine once taught me that there are four kinds of essay.
The worst is the long, bad essay. Slightly less annoying is the short, bad essay. A long, good essay is alright, but the best essay, far and away, is the short, good essay.
I find that if you can measure a thing's quality and duration, then this rule almost always applies. I have also found that most of what Ed Bulak taught me about writing can be applied pretty much everywhere, with only very slight adaptation.
For instance: he once taught me that you can't be a writer until you can look at things and know immediately what they are called.

In case anyone was wondering, this is what an eight lbs. white poodle looks like with a pink mohawk, one orange ear and one yellow ear.
