One of the downsides of only doing personal projects in WordPress for 5 years is that there’s all this new stuff that I’m only vaguely aware of. So I guess I’m using this to try some of it out. Like this “format” thing — I turned the last one into a “Status” and that took away the title. Interesting. What about an “Aside”?

Today feels oddly like both a Monday and a Friday. But it’s Thursday, the day after a holiday. Despite that oddness, I have gotten some things done.
when you get lost at an easy step
It’s really hard to get up to speed learning something in a group if you get stuck or lost right off the bat with something that ought to be really easy. Thus, this micro-class in Ruby. Gonna start over from scratch later. Much later.
Also, curiously enough, I’m having a hard time using the laptop on its own, because I keep wanting to touch the screen to navigate, like I would on my Asus Transformer. On top of that, it doesn’t help that I don’t yet know my way around terminal on mac.
Doesn’t help either that it’s the middle of the afternoon, which is not my best time to do anything.
making things easier for myself
Go figure: I used the instructions I wrote last week on how to create a content type in Cascade to go through the process of backing up some work that I’ve done. (It’ll be wiped at the end of the week during a system upgrade.) And I think I got everything. Next up will be actually re-creating the darn thing. I really do love it when my own documentation works as intended.
