It Takes a Village!? Hell, No. It Takes a Crisis!
Okay, it’s been a week. month. year. FINE. Couple of years.
I bumped into someone I hadn’t seen in a while recently; she said, “I heard your life has turned into something of a blues album.” Exactly right, IMHO.
Case in point: the web site. Foreword hasn’t been updated nearly often enough, because it seems like all I have time to do is put out fires — and blogging on book design, photography, or anything else after a long day of bouncing from one panic to another isn’t always possible.
Having said all that, a couple of divergent items have unexpectedly snapped into focus in the last few days, and it’s been very helpful in moving the ball.
One of them, obvious to anyone who’s tried to access the site in the last few days, has been, well … the lack of a site. Woohoo. Takers for panic on panic?
The good news: the looooong-overdue overhaul of the site’s underlying structure — its server — is complete. Upgrades abound, from tons more space to better (and more) bandwidth. So, while the site may look the same, thanks to a little panic, it’s now on much more solid underpinnings.
The better news: With a very few exceptions, and despite the recent site crisis, I’m almost completely caught up with the “to do” list. Time to finally finish the rest of the upgrades, the main site redesign, and to get the rest of the comment stuff working.
Oh, yeah — need to take more photos, too:
Double Rainbow
Saw this outside the other day and at least had the presence of mind to go out and take a photograph. (And daydream, briefly, about finding the pot of gold…;)
Right now, however, time for another rare treat these days: a good night’s sleep. Back with more tomorrow afternoon.
