Week In, Week Out

Is there anything more arduous than the last two hours on a Friday where the weather is grim and you’re not especially busy at work? I think not. We’ve already taken an extra-long lunch and still the day creeps by. All the higher-ups are away at a presentation so the inmates are running the asylum. When the cat’s away the mice will… well, basically sit around and do nothing.

What started as a steady rain this morning has turned into snow. The weather forecast in the newspaper didst lie to me. I think I need to buy more long-sleeve shirts for the winter.

2 hours to go.

I don’t think there’s anything I can say about these that they don’t say themselves. Thanks to Kyle for the links.

Better Days

Some happy news – A friend of a friend of Jody Porter of Fountains Of Wayne reports that FOW have just signed a deal with a subsidiary of Virgin Records and the new album will be out in a couple months. All production work is complete, it just needs to be slotted and marketed. I am surprised they’ve latched on with a major label again, but hope that they at least get some good tour support so they can make it up to Canada before they’re dropped again.

Cynical? Me? Never.

Addendum – I’m reading on the Ivy mailing list that the new FOW album is called ‘Mexican Wine’.

Adventures In Blogging

Spent tonight playing with Nucleus, got far enough to realize that it’s not going to retrofit on top of my current site… It’s going to have to wait until I get to chromewaves 3.0 before it gets implemented. Same goes for the URL rewrite engine that I want to get working. It just makes more sense to build the site around the underlying technologies and architectures than try to force them into the existing site. Nucleus is pretty nice. Imported my Blogger entries without a hitch.

Speaking of Blogger, it’s starting to tick me off – mainly the archive functions. Sometimes they publish nicely, other times they just go to kack. I’ve bypassed the javascript it used to include the archive links because they were throwing up bizarre javascript errors… It works better now and is more navigable, but it does serve as a reminder that I need a better, more robust system.
