Okay, so I ended up working over the weekend. But my consultant brought me flowers today after the project launch, and you know, that really almost makes up for it and all the other weekends. I’m happy and basking in it rig

I can’t believe it’s Thursday…TGIF

…When you tell someone you’ll be at the office at 8 am and they tell you that they’ll call you at 7 am, what does it mean? “I’ll leave you a good-morning message on your voice mail,” perhaps? -_-

Some days it just does

Wine, wine, whine

It seems faintly ironic that most of the Mirage posters out there were created to advertise the wine that came out in the late 1990s. If I do manage to get ahold of them, I guarantee someone’s going look at them bew

The perfidy of muses

Why is it I most want to write when I can’t? I don’t think I’ve written much of anything that didn’t contain an if…else statement for 2.5 weeks…how sad is that? Still not out of the woods yet, darnit. This is like a test

…It’s a good thing the layoffs are over (?)

Gah, I just managed to blow off 30 mins of a meeting with my boss’ boss. Duuuuuude. It’s all Drupal’s fault, I tell you! And I was so excited that I’m actually managing to get somewhere with it, for once… *facepalms*

Ah, that sense of completion

(I love finishing up a project–all those hours of work coming together into a single resounding affirmation: yes.)

Yes, at last!--here is Gekkani's Naoe/Takaya request for the drabble meme. I think I would have been rather disappointed if no one had requested a Naoe/Takaya, but at the same time, I was seriously stuck for ideas. I couldn't find many gaps in the canon I'm familiar with where I could have inserted a story, so this one is set in the distant future. I hope it's an acceptable offering. ^^;;

Continuing the trend...this one doesn't even qualify as a drabble, technically. ^^;; This is [info]skinintheway's Takaya/baby Naoe AU Mirage drabble request. (Sorry, Gekkani, I didn't mean to skip over your request--this one just coalesced faster. ^^;;)

Edit: Oops,fixed broken link. Thank you, [info]lady_nara!

Yikes, this one came out even longer than the last one. I think I fail as a drabble writer. ^^;; Nevertheless, here is [info]lady_nara’s request in the Drabbles meme: "Centuries."

Writing Harry/Snape makes me happy, it really does. XD Thank you, [info]ad_exia! Here’s my first entry for the Drabbles meme...

Yes, I’m insane

*takes deep breath*

Okay! Since [info]ad_exia is so graciously agreeing to my request for a drabble, I'm going to give this meme a try as well!

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing from me.1 In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. If you absolutely can't write, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drawings or icons or something instead.2

1 Er, make those characters I'm actually familiar with, please? XD

2 You're exempt from the return requirement. Unless you want to do something. :D

Any takers?

Yes it works, but what does it DO?

Strangely enough, I've been on a coding spree lately (as if I don't write enough during the day, hahah). I blame most of it on jQuery, which I'm falling fast for, because it makes working with Javascript fun instead of torturous. Amazing.

Anyway, something else I've been playing around with: a graphical version of the Mirage timeline, using Exhibit Timeline. Now that I have it working, though, I find that the interface leaves much to be desired. Obviously it wasn't designed for that many "events", for example. So...what would make this thing useful? Being able to filter events (say, people connected with the Otate no Ran)? I'd love to get differently-colored lines, but Exhibit is notorious for being style-unfriendly, gah. Well, hacking the core is always an option.

What do you think?
