This morning I started plotting out a new short story. The idea’s been turning over in the back of my mind for a few weeks. I I wasn’t sure what was going to tumble out, and I also wasn’t going to force it before it was ready. I wrote two pages of plot on theContinue reading “On Plotting and Coding”

On More Coding Thoughts
Yes, I’ve been away. Crushing deadlines will that to a person. Tomorrow, I promise my long-awaited blog post on Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation2 #4. It’s something I’ve been wrestling with for about two weeks now. At the moment, though, I’m going to write about where things are with my website redesign. 1)Continue reading “On More Coding Thoughts”
On Coding and More Coding
For a little while now I’ve been working on a new WordPress theme. Last summer, Bob Greenberger hired me to code a WordPress-powered website for him. It turned out pretty well, and I decided that I would work on a new site for myself. I’d code something, spend a week or two with PHP andContinue reading “On Coding and More Coding”
On Returning to Coding the Website
This week I returned to a long-delayed project — my website redesign. Every intention I had of having it finished months ago went fell by the wayside. I lost interest in blogging in the spring. Posts became sporadic. I didn’t even mention when this blog passed its tenth anniversary. (It was five weeks ago, inContinue reading “On Returning to Coding the Website”
On Coding a Podcast Feed
I returned today to a long-term project — my new website. On the train this morning, after writing out my daily office to-do list, I wrote down a list of the things that I had left to do for the site. Design a logo here, design a graphic there, review content.php, et cetera and soContinue reading “On Coding a Podcast Feed”
On Writing with the WordPress Android App
Yesterday’s blog post I wrote on my phone. I didn’t plan that. It’s just how it happened. I knew what I wanted to blog about yesterday morning — a vacation in March, to see the Lewis chessmen in New York — and on the subway train I pulled out my notepad and started writing downContinue reading “On Writing with the WordPress Android App”
On the Coding Itch
Over the weekend, I devoted some time and energy to thinking about what I want to do with my next website. I’ve been working at the code off and on since August, going so far as to code two fully-functional blog themes that I’ll never use. And then, just as I felt really happy withContinue reading “On the Coding Itch”
On the Week That Was
It’s been a week. Every month when the catalogs go to press, it’s a rougher week than usual. There’s last minute writing (often late night alcohol-fueled writing), long days at the office, and needless stress. This month, all of that was amped up to eleven. There were also spreadsheets to be entered into the CMS,Continue reading “On the Week That Was”
On Mad Thoughts of Blogging and Coding
This morning, I had a moment of insanity. Or rather, I had a random thought and then my brain simply would not let it go. Even now, it’s not entirely willing to disengage from the idea, even though I know it’s a stupid idea. It has to do with my website redesign, which I planContinue reading “On Mad Thoughts of Blogging and Coding”
On Working Through the Blog Coding
No, blogging world, I have not forgotten about you. I’ve been very, very busy, though I did squeeze in a Doctor Who drabble based on The Silmarillion. (Yes, really. Don’t be shocked. It works.) Last weekend I was in New Jersey for Philcon. I took off Friday and Monday. When I got back to theContinue reading “On Working Through the Blog Coding”
