The last pages of my script are just grinding out like cement. I don’t know if it’s laptop death trama and the associated rebuild/migrate/etc., the distraction of the new Precious, being busy at work, all of the above, none of the above… In short,...

Final Draft 6 works out of the box under wine with the current version of Ubuntu. Including authorization. *weeps for joy* Oh, my darling Final Draft! I’ve missed you so much! *sob, hug, sob!* Oh, and speaking of Ubuntu? I’m now a True Believer [TM]....

Um. Yeah. Laptop died. I kind of took the opportunity to go linux. Which means I had to import the script into Celtx, which I just don’t love as much as Final Draft. I’ll probably try to get Final Draft to work under wine as soon as I fix the video card,...

Twelve pages today, which just about makes up for all the slacking I did this last week. That puts me at sixty pages. Estimating a minimum length of ninety pages, that means I’m 66.7% through. Getting some good advice helped. I may tweak on that 60 pages later....

I updated the Bibliography page to make it shinier. Now with scripts and excerpts/loglines! Of course, making it display all purty and still validate over at W3.org was exciting. I’m still not sure I like the italics, but I want to offset the excerpts from the...

I installed linux on one of my home machines. Oh, the love! The fast, the pretty, the thrill of smug accomplishment when I make it recognize my video card. (Um. Yeah. I ♥ solving problems; it’s fun for me.) I’ve nearly switched to linux several...

I added some stuff to the site, including OpenID authentication, and sporked the popup windows. Let me know if you find any bugs. What I did: Pulled out the only PHP page–the front one–which was only running browser detection to serve up the Netscape 4...

Apparently, what one does when one doesn’t know what happens next in a story is upgrade Movable Type to version 3.2. (Mmm, yummy new antispam features!) And, of course, resist the urge to say, “But I don’t want that to happen, that’s...
