Staring @ the Ceiling

What a busy day October 13, 2005

Last night I met a friend for drinks, only to discover right beforehand that I was really short on cash and would be for a few days. So needless to say, a beer was a great idea. My friend treated so that was nice and I’ll be sure to make up for it next time we go out. Anyway, we had a good conversation and it was nice to relax after a busy day.

Today I worked nonstop for 12 hours. I know I’m busy once I realize I haven’t even had time to drink my morning coffee. I had a to finish a web site redesign for launch tomorrow and it’s finally complete. It wasn’t much of a coding challenge, but it has taken me months to finish because of several other distractions and interruptions. The project was only difficult in terms of reorganizing the content and coordinating and configuring the processes involved in obtaining the content. Sometimes it seems to be much more difficult to redesign an existing site than to start completely fresh. One challenge is to work on the new content and design without affecting the current design – and confusing the visitor. Of course we also wanted the new design to be considerably better than the old one and I think we accomplished this so I’m pretty happy with the finished product. I’m relieved to have this project off my plate too!

OK, that must have sounded pretty dull, but it felt good to get this off my chest.

I’m very frustrated with my first attempt at fantasy hockey. My team is through a league on CBS SportsLine and from what I can tell, there must be some technical issues on the web site because all of our rosters are messed up. The other team owners are frustrated with the lack of responsiveness from tech support – especially since we paid to participate. Maybe I’ll try this again sometime – but on a different service.

Well, that’s enough for today. I have an even longer day ahead of me tomorrow.
