More on the upcoming Lair update

Well, one of the cool things that I wanted to do isn't working properly, but since it is jut a "behind the scenes" sort of thing that no one would actually see, it's no big deal and I'm not going to spend anymore time trying to fix it before Monday. Everything else is turning out as I'm expecting, more or less, so I'm still happy. :)

Right now, I've got 19 directories finished (with 17 remaining), as well as the recoded front page. I'm not sure if the new front page will work; I've tested it on a few different machines, and it changes a bit more than I would like. However, there's no way in hell that I'm going to take the time to recode it *again*, so I'll just change it after the fact if enough people think I should. It also doesn't have the current "Random Quote" thing since I was having trouble getting it to display properly, but it'll make a return once I sort out the issue with the code.

I finished assigning all the dates to everything for the Rants and Reviews, which was a mind-numbing task. Now all I have to do is add the new Rants and Reviews (3 total, I believe) and dump in the ton of new quotes into the Quote Archive. When I say "ton," I'm not exaggerating: the source file I made of all of the quotes has 1,165 lines in it (5,635 words, 32,871 characters). Granted, this is before styling and whatnot (ie: adding <q> and <cite> tags), and while I won't be adding every single quote, that's still a lot of quotes; for those that are curious, there are currently 288 quotes in there.

Alrighty, enough typing, now it's time to get more stuff done. :)

Heh... price of fame, eh Eric :p

(and if you want quote stuff, I have a nice PHP script that'd serve that up for you...)

Actually, I've got my own ideas about it... I might run them by you just to make sure I'm not crazy (hush), though.

Hot damn, I wasn't kidding when I said I'd add a bunch of new quotes. The Quote Archive will now have 600 total quotes in it (that's more than double the original amount). A lot of that is from greatly expanded author pages (ie: Albert Einstein and Mark Twain), and I added pages for people who previously only had two or three quotes. Good times all around. :)

Not crazy? You? That's a good one...
