It’s been a long and harrowing journey back to captivity, but I made it back to the civility of the plantation. Hooray.
On the other hoof, I’m glad to be done with the many things that have been keeping me off of the useful task of documentation for which I’ve often used this space. I’m relieved to have let go of Tandem’s page and welcome the urgency that comes with a nagging urge that things must always be done and updated.
This is a screenshot of the Tandem Co-op site taken September 10.
I had a very simple problem putting the FancyZoom into the page that was fixed by removing a leading slash in the directory header. My favorite part of using imported javascript libraries is how fancy they make things look, an idea well realized by these titling conventions, including script.aculo.us, which still elicits an endearing chuckle from the uninitiated.
In the meantime, I’m practicing the discipline and restraint of the Thunderdome to-do list, meaning that only the most important, or at least fanciest task rises to the top of the pile. There’s a kind of beautiful brand-new-day philosophy to cutting yourself free of anything you didn’t see as worth doing; it helps to determine what you really wanted to do in the first place, and helps end the kind of procrastination that leads to elaborate blog posts that subconsciously fuel the self-sabotage of ambitious projects.
I’m celebrating this new philosophy with a strong cup of coffee and a huge ‘SOLVED’ rubber stamp, despite my inability to really put down anything at the end of the day.
