Yesterday was mostly good, with one huge time-out-worthy aberration just before dinner. Ten minutes’ worth of time out, in fact.
I made a single jar of jam this morning. I ordered new glasses, paid some bills, crossed another couple of things off my To-Do list, and now have (of course!) run out of steam, twenty minutes before Jan is due to show up for our weekly writing jam. If I am completely useless at the writing thing I may switch to doing the local freelance stuff that landed in my inbox at lunchtime.
I also had a half-hour conversation with an orchestra contact this morning. Looks like we have an executive meeting next week, and while I’m not an official member of the executive I seem to be invited along like last time because I have Valuable Input.
I need to reformat the laptop at some point today (or possibly tomorrow) as well, so I can give Liam something to do while I work (he is in love with Youtube because it has Veggie Tales and Thomas episodes, and there is always Peep!). Because if I’m on the computer he wants to be on the computer, which makes working while he’s at home somewhat of a challenge.
Off to write, come what may. There’s a thousand words of Orchestrated on my list of Things To Do that needs to crossed off.
Liam on the laptop whilst you work? Maybe you should be considering Panasonic’s Toughbooks or an Itronix Gobook. I will demand pictures of this once available though.
Liam’s friend Arthur is miles ahead of him when it comes to using a computer.
No, I just use it to entertain him. Although you should have seen him wield the Wii remote the other day. You would have been very proud.
There has to be a way to get your feed to LJ fixed. Or start a new one. I get going and miss out on checking in here.
Right, maybe if I make it over next Wednesday, I’ll take a look at the SQL code that’s causing all the bother…
It’s not the SQL; that was the two years of lost stuff that we need to convert to HTML someday. The broken feed is a result of the WordPress update that did something odd. It appears to be a code issue somewhere in the template, but I can’t find it, and when I install a new (theoretically correct) template the error continues.
Bodhi: have you eveer tried an RSS feed in an RSS aggregator like Bloglines? It’s like a Friends page but it will display anything non-LJ, as well as LJ stuff. It’s a terrific tool for collecting all the content of the different sites you check out, like all the sites you list in your Wormholes sidebar, thereby reducing the amount of sites you have to remember to visit. Bloglines is one of the RSS aggregators that can still read my feed, although the GoogleReader doesn’t.
