A Confession, an Admittance of Guilt

The following is quite obviously true, and needn't be said, except that I'm saying it anyway: I haven't been keeping up my usual semi-prolyphic writing. And oh, if an apology were all that it would take for the Entire World to forgive me!

New web site is still underway. Honestly, I thought it would have been complete by now, but I'm having some unforeseen problems with certain punctuation. Without giving too much away, there's something going on between my code, my database, and my server's settings. (With giving too much away, it would've involved explaining my lack of knowledge of magic_quotes, addslashes, stripslashes, and mysql_real_escape_string.) Last night I spent a deal of time looking for similar scripts, hoping to find my solution within them or something to use instead. I found neither. And so, once again, I'm left to figure this out on my own, which I love and hate. In many ways I feel like this project is the catalyst of all my future projects.

(On a side note, if you've been to A Result of Reason, know that once this web site is complete, it will be taken down and its contents moved. I never quite felt comfortable with the name, but as things happen, the others I preferred were taken.)

Presently, it is the 7th day of October, and on the 31st I am moving in and settling somewhere with a great big smile. Before I leave my current residence though I will have no hesitation to turn it into a loud recording studio, at least for a few days. You will know when something is ready.
