The site is operational as it was before making changes. The only difference now is that the archive sits at the
landing page rather than behind a link. There are lots of glitches remaining, however, but at least readers can
visit and peruse if they so desire. Also, the archive is actually fully complete. Nothing has been left out.
"12-15... Still.
I have still not driven for some days, meaning I've had more time at home to maintain clear thinking and take
care of the house. This endeavor has been a trial, however. I finally learned that all of the user
authentication functionality is built in to the application software, although implementing the routine meant
I had to create an entirely new project and then attempt to transfer the mass of content from the original
project. I must move all of the writing -- one essay at a time -- into new server pages. There are more than two
hundred at this late date. Lots of work, most of it quite boring. The end result will prove advantageous, though.
I have also been able to rid the framework of the two-column layout in favor of a static header with navigation.
Originally I wished to wrap the text around the left menu and images, but I believe this method is cleaner. No
fluff. Once complete, I will have control over who has access to the bulk of my content.
I keep thinking of what Sunday used to feel like before leaving my job. It was full of possibility and brightness.
These days it is quite different. No, I don't regret leaving work behind, but the fact is my free time to work on
whatever I pleased was in shorter supply back then. Now I have nothing but free time. It seems less valuable
because each day is nearly the same. The difference on Sunday is merely my garbage chores. Yesterday the
gentleman who is storing his motorcycle here visited for a little while and we sat to catch up. The time was
nice, although I kept thinking of his life situation as compared to mine. In a nutshell, he has worked toward a
future whereas I have not. The result is there is nothing on the horizon for me other than more days spent here
at home. I have no prospects and the promise and possibilities which shined during those four key years are all
gone. There seemed plenty of time for whatever came along. Well, nothing came along other than the work at NASA
and then the opportunity down the coast many years later when I was in the apartment. That went south due to my
reckless behavior and the manner in which it affected my credit score. I've gone over this in the past, but still
my head descends often enough to realize that I am right in the middle of what I created. The opportunities were
there and I graded them aside in favor of enjoyment. Not good.
I just had to replace the new site with the old due to too many things going wrong. I don't understand much of the
code and must rely on the software to guide me in some ways. When parts of the code go awry, the time required for
me to seek and repair the problem can be excessive. Until I am certain there are no issues, I suppose I'll have
to work on it in the background, just as I did back in twelve when first embracing the active server pages. That
took time, but eventually worked well. The newest endeavor is proving much more complex. We'll get there.
As you can see, the beauty of the world continues to find its way onto these pages. I can't help it anymore.
I have to see the beauty in order to find methods of smiling and holding tight to the knowledge that some
parts of life are there to be enjoyed. The women gracing this entry represent a slice of whatever came along
during the last several days. One of them I don't even like. She is a bad character, but still lovely to see.
Everything on the outside, as I have said before. I rarely include imagery of people with which I am familiar
beyond appearance anyway, so why not enjoy her stance and leave it at that? Heh.
