Rodent Regatta

I’ve decided to go to a seminar for the afternoon. It will start at noon and go to 4pm or so.

Sometime today, I intend to find out why the people who were so intent on launching a web-based database project did not follow through yesterday as planned. Clearly, it’s still a ”go,” but a few minor details remain.

Finally, I want to understand more about this Movable Type weblog I have.

When it was set up I had wonderful help. Taking absolutely nothing away from the value of that help, it had a tendency to insulate me from the directory/folder structure behind the scenes of Movable Type. At the same time I was changing to Movable Type, I was changing hosts. At my old host, I could use an FTP program and see every folder and sub-folder in the directory structure of my domains.

I haven’t figured out whether or not I can do that or how with Bloggerzone. Those are today’s goals – learn MT’s directories, learn Bloggerzone’s directories and go to a seminar. You might notice this isn’t very ambitious. All the web-types are saying, ”he doesn’t even know how THAT works?” Well, no, I don’t, and it’s demoralizing.

It’s time to find something new to do. I’m bored. It’s time for something that has meaning and purpose.

I’ve had very little success learning (on my own) this web design stuff. Even the goals I’ve set out for today are as likely to send me to bed frustrated tonight as not.

I think I feel my recurring midlife crisis recurring.
