I’m not sure what to think of this. I mean, on the one hand it’s hella cool and it’d be neat to have one. On the other hand, it’s scary to live in a world where this is the kind of thing someone would seriously buy.

Ethan Hawke. What a waste of material.
Had a brief but shining chat with Jessy this afternoon…
me: Ethan Hawke did a Hamlet? *shudder*
Jessy: ewwww
Jessy: yes it was HORRIBLE
me: Oh gawd. That’s… okay, that does it. Between a bad Hamlet and pretending to be a writer, Ethan Hawke must die.
Jessy: Ok, I read “The hottest state” and almost cried because it was SO bad.. horrible horrible book it was
me: Too bad you can’t easily MSTie books. =)
Jessy: lol
me: “We’ve got Chapter Sign!”
Jessy: lol
me: must… resist… temptation…
Jessy: Hehehe
me: (not hard to resist, since I’d have to READ it to MSTie it.)
Jessy: hehWell, alright, when you get right down to it I did most of the talking. What did you expect me to do? This website is all about me, showing off my own cleverness, or what passes for it.
I was also given an ultimatum: I need to hurry up and get that oft-promised page done. The one with all the silly widgets and geegaws. You know, oral sex donations and things. So it’s done now, are you happy? 😉

Email Purge
The time has come. (Insert “Rocky Horror” audience line here.) With an 18 gigabyte drive devoted solely to storing email, you’d think that a couple hundred Groupwise accounts could live comfortably, right?
Wrong.
No matter what or how I tell them, these people never… ever… delete anything. Ever. So today I take a drastic step: a purge of all email older than the first of this year. This time I received permission from the General Manager, so if anyone complains I can shrug my shoulders and say “Jack told me to.” It’s nice to have the bigwigs on your side for a change, wouldn’t you agree?
This process is likely to take all day, if not part of tomorrow. Good thing I didn’t have anything exciting planned.

One step closer to the ideal
After a couple of days spent tinkering, breaking, unbreaking and tinkering some more, I can happily display the new journal-entry layout I’ve devised. What’s so great about it, you ask? The most important breakthrough is something you can’t even see: no longer is the layout of journal entries done by table code. The only table left is the calendar.
This is simply one more step along the path to a fully CSS-driven layout scheme. The page should also render just a little bit faster in most browsers. Not to mention that I just plain like the way this looks better than what I had before.
Pardon me while I bask in the dubious glory of my own accomplishments. Thank you.

esreveR nI s’gnihtyrevE
Thanks once again to the creator of Monaural Jerk for showing me how to reverse-sort the journal entries. Now the newest additions will always be at the top of the page so you don’t have to scroll down to see if there’s anything new on a given day. Hooray!
I’ve also learned how to make the “synopsis” data appear. This means that all entries with synopses (which would be all of them, mind you) back to the beginning of the database will be shown with little parenthetical comments.
My next goal is to completely redesign how individual journal entries are displayed. Wish me luck. Send me cocoa.
