Progress and More Progress
Comment moderation (AJAX-y, I might add) is fully enabled and functional, riding around on my USB stick until I get back to a non-firewalled connection. Git has really been a boon for working between firewalled and unfirewalled locations. I can still make my commits, branches, merges, etc. without an accessible server.
Things have been pretty terrible at work lately, but they’re looking up significantly now. I’ve found another time management hint: Outlook’s “timeline” view for messages is a good way to know if you’re letting something slip through the cracks.
I started up Chrono Trigger yesterday, which always feels good. I’m going to try to avoid grind-levelling this time. I want to know how hard the game really is. We just did that with Secret of Mana and really didn’t have a problem at any point in the game.
By the way, another interesting part about playing with Efendi from work is that I get to see all the cute little quirks that IE6 offers, before actually getting the code checked in and pretending that it works okay.
Some of them are preventable (strange treatments of CSS classes and attributes), and some are just broken (like sizing of textareas). The input box I’m using now to type this has a horizontal scrollbar thanks to IE6. Oh, well. At least the thing works, even the AJAX (thanks to jQuery).
