A Dad and His Blog
House on Red Corner · 2005-08-24
So after most of a day of brute force changes to the files that make up my archives, I found the much more elegant inline republisher at Blogger. What that has successfully given me, is the reformatting of all the individual posts. So all the old stories have the same template and appearance. However, the Archive page itself did not go through the process no matter how many times that Blogger told me that it republished those pages, it didn’t. What that means is tomorrow, I’ll craft some new archive pages that the links look for and then amazingly enough, I may be done with this probelm much earlier than I suspected.
Naturally, this work is being done at periods where I do not need to give Eliza-Jane 100% of my attention. She likes to swing for about half an hour, which is right next to the desk and we can chat while we work. She has lots to do in the swing. For one thing, she has to eat the Star Mirror which is mounted on her dashboard. Then the globey thing has to be gripped. She tells me all about it while she is working.
When she takes anap thats when I get all sorts of stuff done. Sweep the floors, wash the dishes, enter code, you name it, if it needs to be done around the house, then it gets done while EJ naps.
This morning while I was checking email and chatting with Steph on the IM, Squeaky sat in my lap and was very helpful. She watched the pointer move around between areas of the screen. When I settled on an email to open, she followed the scrolling page as we read it. then as I typed my conversation with Steph, she had her hands on top of mine. She was very helpful indeed. Next week, I’ll get her to start entering some lines of code while I kick back with my feet on the desk!
We went for a walk around the neighborhood tonight as it was so beautiful outside. There was a hint of Autumn in the air, and I was full of hopeful anticipation. Autumn in New York is my favorite time of the year. I put up with the misery of summer just for the cosmic pay-off of Fall. The temperatures drop and the air gets crisp, oh my , it’s enough to make me get all swooney!! Anyways, Eliza-Jane rode around in her stroller and faught to stay awake the whole time. She is just like her parents, doesn’t want to miss a thing! We have completed the midnight feeding and now I am going to surf around for a little bit before the next feeding.
