Just off several solid days of coding. It's so fun to be able to dive in deep and not come up for a while. It's hard work, but at the same time I feel lucky to be able to do it. I wish I could explain more what I am working on. I'm not very good at that though (or writing documentation which is sort of the same thing.) In any case, the deal is that I am about to put this software behind several customer sites, but once I do that I effectively freeze any substantial overhaul of the software, since I can't break compatibility (like different URL schemes, say,) with already running sites, and I don't want to have a bunch of different forks of the same project (because that's what happened last time and it is a nightmare for maintenance.)
So everything is going to run on the same version of the software, and I need to have the core of it set in stone before I start or it's just going to be a headache. And after this past week (well okay, I was useless on Sunday, but otherwise...) I'm pretty much there.
Now I just need a little attention on the mail server to stem the spam deluge and I will be ready to go. Not finished, by any means, but ready to start finally. God I am slow. But I guess slow is better than nothing.
Hopefully I can write something about the software at greater length. It really is sort of interesting. It goes way beyond blogs.
