I am not dead yet….

Current Mood:Confused emoticon 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.

Progress report

Current Mood:Here bugs… emoticon Here bugs…

Progress continues… (esp for the benefit of Cew :P)

  • 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.

Design tweaks

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.

Apparently I’ve been too quiet the past few weeks, as some nameless person pointed out to me today. *cough*Collin*cough*

So yeah … What’s been going on recently…

Mercenary Machines has made a little progress, specifically I’ve started work on cleaning up the prototype back end. This is pretty much stuff that nobody sees and, for the most part, nobody cares about. Suffice it to say that it is going to be rather cool, but probably not as quick as I’d like (since I’m having to concentrate on something more likely to make money in the short term. But never fear, it’ll get done :P

The Cell’s main site now has a funky looking logo and a design … the software driving it isn’t quite bug free yet, though fortunately most of those bugs aren’t visible. Designs are also tabled for Make It Funky and Mercenary Machines, though I’m not entirely happy with either yet, so watch this space.

Hmm, what else…?

The Cell should, if all goes to plan (plan, what plan?) should become far more “operational” soon… more on that when it isn’t [Deleted for security reasons].

Incidentally, Paranoia rocks :P

In other news, Petal and Paws now has a rather neat gallery (also linked from the sidebar).

Think that mostly covers everything … much of the past couple of weeks has been occupied by business type stuff :(
Ah well… time for sleep heh.

Drink B3, the mandatory drink of choice, for a happier daycycle.
