Today is Sweetmorn, day 9 in the season of The Aftermath, 3268.

Today's project is all about hunting down broken links and starting to overhaul some of the old code in the web site/convert it to xhtml. At some point I'd like to make it more dynamic, but first I want to get it consistent and usable, then tack on more bells and whistles. I like writing code much more than I like research, it gives me a good feeling to have something concrete at the end of the day to point to and say "I got all this done today".


From today's Morning Fix:

**We Are All Orbiting Uranus If You Know What I Mean**
An international group of astronomers announced the discovery of a new moon of Uranus, boosting the planet's tally of orbiting satellites to 21 and causing enormous disarray if not outright chaos amongst members of the 20 Moons of Uranus Club, not to mention deeply upsetting the delicate constitutions of the more intellectually overwhelmed among us who were already really really hoping we were pretty much done with the discovering new planets and new galaxies thing because they were having a hard enough time with the whole Earth as an insignificant speck of dust amidst a mind-exploding ocean of ever-expanding galaxies that you can't possible even grasp no matter how hard you try thing, and a new moon orbiting Uranus is simply yet another tiny indicator that what we as a species actually know and understand could fill a coke spoon while what is actually available to be known and what is eternally out of our intellectual if not quite divine or intuitive reach would fill eight billion infinitely deep unchlorinated magic swimming pools featuring roughly three billion infinitely mysterious squeaky inflatable dolphin-rafts with little built in karmic cup-holders floating on top to boot. Sigh.

I'm still in a good mood from this past weekend, yesterday particularly. Go me. =) I sort of wonder though if I've perhaps been secretly replaced by a pod person (or Folger's Crystals) and I hadn't noticed...yesterday I was in A Mood[tm] which I haven't seen in ages. Not that I'm complaining. Or that anyone else who noticed said Mood[tm] is complaining, so far as I can tell. Just sayin'. *grin*

And in a sort of related note, one of my SOs has introduced me to the most fascinating woman. *whistles innocently and looks up at the ceiling while twiddling thumbs*

OK, I'll bite, what are some of the things fascinating about this woman? :)

And you're inflatable, you said?

And squeaky. ;) Also "infinitely mysterious", but I hit the upper character limit in the username field so I am forced to be finitely mysterious. Alas.
