The Parable of the Managers. Goest thou, oh managers of IT, and learnest thou the truth of the way of the profit. For I hath toiled in the codebase of Ahimelech, and many times I hath reverse-engineered and finished the undocumented projects of those servants who hath...

Because I had geek envy, I upgraded my version of Movable Type. Thus far it looks like it was completely painless. Of course, I did RTFM first. 😉 Hopefully you won’t notice at all.

Brian migrated his site to Drupal. I have geek envy. If I had any content other than my blog, I’d consider migrating myself. Just for fun, you know. Because I want to play with the geek toy! But no. I’m sticking with Movable Type for now, because I’d...

Apparently, OpenID mysteriously quit working with LJ. I’ll assume that’s why I haven’t received any comments since September. Comments are moderated because of spammers. Specifically, it’s because there is a special circle in hell for people...

At least, it made Brian give me a weird look. 😉 I’m considering doing all my composing in plain text rather than Open Office or AbiWord. Why? More portable–easier to sneak in work on other machines (*coughcough*the office*cough*). I won’t need to...

Somehow, the story I sent Ann Crispin was missing a line I thought was in there. No wonder she didn’t notice it. 😉 It must be part of the conversion from Open Office format to rich text format. Note to self: Do not maintain too many versions of a story in too...

Getting my gallbladder hacked out. I’d hoped, in my naïevete, to get some writing done in the week off work. But no. I also thought that I’d finish an involved novel critique I’m doing for someone, and that was also Not Meant To Be. I should get...

I actually have… an outline. And the motivational spreadsheet of doom to track my wordcount. And… version control. Yes, version control, like programmers use. Why, yes, I am a geek. But I could have used version control sooner–I realized at one point...

I may be writing a novel. I received some crits for lizardfic today, and one of the critiquers agrees with Brian that the story might work better at novel-length. I suspect they may be right. Of course, I don’t have time right now. I need to finish this script....
