I find blog posts about why the writer isn’t posting generally tedious and possibly fatuous. Which is why I like writing them myself. Sometimes I’ll think about not posting for a few days just so I can push out another extended riff on how life is like a box of chewing gum.
That isn’t the case now, I’m deep in the throes of Harry Potter 5 and celebrating today’s lovely 2-1 win by Liverpool down in sweltering Seville. And doing more experimenting with this site and other programming goggles. Microsoft had a crapload of announcements today, none of which thrilled me as much ass they did Robert but hey, he’s actually seen them and I’m just reading second hand fluff.
Also wasting time trying to correct a couple of customer service problems. Those are really annoying because I have to use time I could be, um, blogging, to straighten out other people’s mistakes or worse. People, we have only so much time on this Earth and I do not want to devote quite so much of it on second and third conversations when one should suffice.
Work is going quite well. Besides the nice mention from Dr. Weinberger, John Battelle’s casual slough generated a far bit of traffic (call me any name you want, as they say, just be sure you spell the URL http://www.rawsugar.com) and other places are throwing visits as well. Tom Carpel, a summer intern, built a World of Warcraft collection wihch is getting notice and many searchers; the popularity of violent games continues to elude me but they are popular.
What I need to find is a simple big of PHP code to parse an OPML file. I’ve been looking at Clint Ecker’s class but early analysis is not positive, as I prefer something dynamic rather than a generator. Ideas? Let me know.
