D’oh! I can’t remember why I think July 5th is the anniversary of Picayune entering the Blog fray…I mean format. I only recall it was a three-day weekend for me or I had some kind of a additional time off from work.
Sorry if I haven’t made any progress on ditching the clunky Blojsom solution for Drupul yet. Jeremy and I have been rather busy on Mondays. He has a new guy who’s really nice to train. My “Saturday” (really Monday) isn’t much of a day off lately and that’s alright, part of the loss also comes from keeping our house organized, I get some more time on the Wii Fit (an upcoming review for this month since I wanted to have a significant amount logged) and a little extra money to pay off Somara’s teeth work. Besides, the IRS claims to have lost our Schedule A for 2007 (or what the phone agent, I waited 15 minutes to talk to, said), hence our money from Bush’s Economic Hail Mary II will be delayed to who knows when.
The conversion to Drupul will continue to be Plan A, it just may be incremental or Picayune will have two concurrent sites until I “flip a switch” to go completely over. I think the new software is going to rock, especially if I can have a little forum and some static pages receptive to GoLive or DreamWeaver’s HTML; my tendency with writing/laying out My Favorite Albums of (Insert Year Here) article…when I actually completed them. I know, I know, I haven’t followed through on that annual tradition since 2005.
In my defense, I have really upped the entries. According to my math, Picayune has averaged over 0.9 stories per day. Either I’m a prolific writer, making my friends appear lazy and challenged or I’m just an obsessed doofus, thus it’s my friends posting at a normal and acceptable pace. Splitting the difference might be the diplomatic answer.
To celebrate the start of Picayune 3.0‘s fourth year, I have initiated a new Category called Somara’s Cakes. My wife has been getting a steadier stream of requests and I want to show them off. If she keeps it up, I will have to “hire” a different editor, I think Somara has been napping on the job!
Onward with Year Four, 2500 entries and a faster, more flexible site solution! Oh, and writing reviews on DVD-watched movies sooner than two months later.
