Since I'll be leaving for MacWorld on Saturday, I'm aiming to update the Lair on Friday. Right now, I've got a redone front page, more in line with the old index (3x2 horizontal listing of recent Rants and Reviews, with Jokes and Store Spotlight under that), as well as a new Rant from Pikeman. I'm hoping that I'll get a Review or two nailed out this week; if I can, it'll get added as well.
I'm going to be spending a total of 6 hours in the air, plus another 3 hours on the ground between flights, and then however long it takes to get from Pikeman's place to Danny's. Over the course of all that time, I should get a substantial amount of work done. My primary focus during all this will be to finish converting the Joke Archive, as well as to add a fair number of jokes (I'm thinking of adding 50, just to make it an even 600). To break up the monotony of all that, I'll probably write a Review or two; the new Foo Fighters and Garbage albums have been getting a lot of play in my CD player, and I'll be loading them onto my laptop to take with me.
When I get back, I hope to actually get back into a steady pattern of updating the Lair again. I've got a shitload of saved up Jokes and Quotes that I'd like to start adding to the site on a regular basis; I'm thinking that I could add 20 new Jokes and 10 new Quotes on a bi-weekly basis, with additional content getting added whenever I have it.
Something else that I'd like to do, because I apparently like to punish myself, is to start converting some of the sections to be database-driven. Specifically, I'll start with the Quote Archive. I've got some great ideas bouncing around my head that I'm sure you guys will love, as well as a cool Empire addition that is closely related to it. But I've already said too much... <cryptic grin>
(wow, this is my fourth blog entry in a row. go me!)
