that really was the end of tomorrow.
Despite my pledge to begin anew at this daily writing thang... Well, I'm sure you can imagine. Actually, I'm not certain you can figure it out for yourself. (Not knowing you, how am I expected to vouch for your astuteness?) In case you haven't, I'll do one of the things I do pretty well — get wordy with it.
I bungled my participation in the National *log Posting Month (NABLOPOMO) project. Too much life in my life, I suppose. Besides, my beloved Vincent remains powerless.
But Vincent is a poor excuse for my inability to post every day, especially since he's been on the fritz for more than a month, and I managed to pump out an entry a day for many days without him. I desperately need to get him fixed; I'm working on a website for other people and the majority of my go-to code snippets are stored on him.
So, I've been working sans my own templates. (Advanced thank yous go out to the following for past and future reference: tutorialtastic, w3schools.com, the folks at Codegrrl, Dee and Jem. Though she is last on that list, she certainly isn't least — Jem runs tutorialtastic, contributes to Codegrrl and frequently posts about coding in her own blog.)
It is both liberating and annoying to type the doctype declarations, xhtml base code, css base code, "<?php"
this, "echo" that and all the other tags that I've lazily saved on Vincent's hard drive. Every once in a while I prefer to start from scratch in order to keep myself from getting rusty...
This is not one of those times.
Speaking of that other website I'm slowly working on: PSP is not on this machine, therefore I've downloaded GIMP for my image-related needs. I'm simultaneously experimenting on my own and with the manual.
And that's about all for this entry.
cheers,
echo
P.S. I'm going to sign up for NABLOPOMO again. Maybe this time I won't fall of the writing wagon.
Tuesday September 08 2009: it echoes to this day...
