Current Mood: Confused Not quite…
Okie, so after large amounts of poking to actually post something … here is what’s currently happening in the land of me.
Our bedroom, after much work, is starting to look like a bedroom again. It is decorated (mostly) and stuff has been moved out of much of the rest of the house (mostly). Sadly stuff is now boxed awaiting sorting before being brought back in.
How much of an improvment that is …. is open to debate.
I’m sure photo’s will be forthcoming once things are looking respectable (we currently have no cupboard doors).
I’ve not been too useful recently due to random unwell, decorating, more unwell, and a minor mental breakdown.
Depression sucks. Personality fragmentation is worse.
Attempting to reassemble a personality with duck tape is quackers.
I will refrain from further confusing you with tales of my messed up mind.
What else…
Work? Well I suppose I’ll get further nagged if I start talking about the side projects that have been taking up my attention.
I have discovered that the core difficulty in writing good control panel software is that the things you generally do with control panel software are not, in themselves, things that are pleasant to think about.
That said, I’m starting to make progress with Make it funky.
I also note wonderful things happening in the world of audacious … spidy-sense says this new interface is gonna be awesome. For that, I’m willing to put up with partially broken stuff for now :p
Hurm, it’s light outside. I suppose I should consider making another trip in to the outdoors again shortly … see what’s happenning in the rest of the world.

Heh that would make a good title for a story…
So… some updates…
Get fit – check
Eat healthy – check (for the most part)
Get job – erm pass…
Projects – check(ish) I have done some work on my website, I have begun to move the stuff on my RPG project from the cove to my website, while doing so I am also refine some stuff…. I should probably give that a proper name *ponder* I have a couple of new ideas for projects, that I will pick up in a week or too (after I have finished my major runescape task *rolls-eyes*… which incedently is coming on well) I will make a few birthday cards in the next week or so, and a new baby, might make some generic ones and see about taking pics of them (to at least see what they would look like if I was to sell them, maybe see if some people will give some feed back on them.
Runescape – 225k shafts, 225k feathers… nearly 15k iron bars. Soon to be 225k iron arrows.
Habits – So far doing well on the forming good habits front, as I said the walks and the fruit and salad are doing well

Current Mood: Here bugs… Progress continues… (esp for the benefit of Cew  )
- Harmony:
- Session manager now should have basic functionality working nicely, just awaiting some feedback on further upgrades.
- The Security control panel is working, although a couple of it’s features aren’t fully wired in yet.
- The Time control panel is also working nicely. The core now has timezones and smart date handling.
- The bbcode system has had a major rework, providing greater flexibility and resilience … not to mention it should be faster.
- The foundations of the new quicklink is in place and being used by the Time control panel.
- Hopefully more updates on the control panel will be following soon.
- The dynamic images code has also seen some updates…
- In it’s first steps from prototype to service, the whole setup has now moved to it’s own subdomain.
- The runescape comparator now displays your progress through the level and indicates which skills have had recent xp gains
- After much consideration, I’ve decided the theme on Make it Funky needs further tweaking… some details about it have been annoying me.
That seems to be all I can think of for now heh.

Current Mood: Cool … wouldn’t it be nice if people actually commented
Another few months go by, guess I really should try to post more often.
First off, I should just mention that we’ve upgraded to WP 2.3.1, hopefully I’ve fully adjusted our theme to their changes. Do let me know if you spot something I’ve missed.
Not sure where to begin with what I’ve been up to …
I’ve started working on refactoring what is to be Project Harmony …
Livepage is approaching a nice feature set, though it still needs work … anyone interested in helping would be gratefully received.
Not sure what else to list :/
Hmm, lets see about doing more posting here heh.

Been way too quite with posting, so here is a bit of what I have been doing the past few weeks.
Beta version of my website is coming along nicely, the software which I am using seems to work nicely, Test site is located here if you want to see
Nanowrimo 2007 started friday. I’m a bit behind target, but with over 3000 words from two days worth of working, I’m quietly confident I can still finish on target… having said that I only lasted a few days last year, so I wont hold my breath just yet.
Not much else to say at the moment, spent a couple of the last few weeks helping Daniel’s brother and his family move to a their new house. Have done a bit of work on moving and backing upi photos to Daniel’s ‘new’ harddrive, when that is done I can save some of the more recent pictures, that are sat on memory cards, and begin to upload them to the gallary, once that is done or is in the doing stage, then we can see about picking “Picture of the week”, which in turn might help promote more use of this blog… maybe I should start adding posts on the the stresses of the run up to christmas *ponder* maybe, we will have to see.
Other than that, we are still broke, still stressed, still depressed yadda yadda yadda. Daniel is making some head way with the forum code, what he had done looks good, though I’m not the best at giving feedback *shrug*

Current Mood: Here bugs… &  Sickly (Note: some of the links in this post are pointing to pages still under heavy construction.)
So I’ve not been feeling so well this week… nasty evil migraines 
But I have once again been a little lazy in my whole bloging bit, so here’s some progress updates for my non-existant readers to read…
Where to start…
Well the last post on worky stuff was … 2 months ago? bleh… so a lotta stuff to go at here.
Lets start with livepage … that’s making rather nice progress. Over the last two months a whole lotta customisability and funky features have gone in. There’s now much more interesting templating features (though they’re yet to be completed), there’s a lot more features in the sidebar … some interesting bugs have been fixed.
Yeah, LivePage is rushing on full steam ahead, and hopefully will be at release quality some time soon so I can get on with something else while the testers work their magic. Actually the code is currently up for testers… anyone intersted in joining the effort, give a shout (or leave a comment).
Chained has made some rather impressive progress in the configure/install department, and now has a much more useful configure script, which is being slowly ported to the other projects in the chained family.
Work has, slowly, started on the smtpd project … not much to talk about there yet, it almost meets the minimum implementation requirements, but sadly doesn’t actually do any mail storage as yet. Early days and all that
Mythica has been resurrected, and will soon be attacked to make it work well with Chained.
Speaking of resurrections, Suzi is back! ^_^
Our main website has been ported over to the new livepage code, and is looking rather nice for it.
oh, what else *scratch head*
Probably a ton of other stuff I’m missing here.
One thing I should mention is that work on Shadow Caster is slowly progressing as I get my head round inventing a new sort of physics 
Again, if you’re interested in providing feedback, please give me a shout, or even leave a comment.
I’ll try to put more postings here more often

Well I didn’t manage manage to sign off on livepage, but I have some web work done.
The blog’s design is tweaked to look a bit better, including the new intersite nav bar up in the top right which is now on most of our core sites.
I have also, at long last, completed the design for makeitfunky.co.uk, which is now just waiting for some content.
I’m quite proud of that design actually.
Anyway, should really get back to work on livepage now.

Okie … so recent happenings… the only people that’ll read this will probably be the ones that already know all this jazz, but oh well.
First of all, we’ve been working on the admin stuff related to company formation … not quite done yet, but getting close.
We’ve been creating a photo portfolio in the idea of selling photographs… that’s progressing nicely.
LivePage is starting to shape up and hopefully version 0.0.1 will be released and signed off for the testers to beat up.
In personal life:
Sleep pattern erratic…
Eating a lot of fruit in an attempt to be more healthy…
Having fun working…
Medical status quo is maintained, but I’m putting on weight (now there’s a shocker, first time in a lot of years)
Really need to get some more exercise…
Oh and I really need to do some gaming … I’ve not logged on to FFXI for like a month … I’m freaking deprived 
Might devote Saturday to having some fun if I manage to sign off LivePage on Friday 
Gotta try out my nice new G11 keyboard and sharkoon 6 button 1600 dpi mouse *drool*
Mmmm, what else … oooh, I’m on signed up on ohloh … brilliant place for finding new apps and such. If any of you do sign up, be kind and give me some kudos  I’ll post my account number or something later on.

Esp for Col … Lookie, bug tracker … you can put feature requests and stuff on it
In other news…
Sooo busy
Blood tests suck … 90 minutes sitting in a waiting room, 30 seconds of sitting in a chair pretending the nice person next to me isn’t about to stab me … 5 seconds to actually take some blood … stupid blood tests.
Got to do some administrative prep work in the next day or two … so not looking forward to that.
Thunderbird 2 + Enigmail (gpg signing and encryption) + spamato (spam killer) + the other half dozen or so extentions I’m running == email joy… now if I can just get an ldap contacts database working I’ll be happy (for all of 5 minutes
Hmmm, what else…
*dances around a bit* so yeah … should really do some work … bleh
Okie, ramble over…
