Not bad for a morning's work

I'm not entirely satisfied with Quiet Victories yet, but it came together this morning and I tried it out. Had to transpose it from G to C, so neither the guitar part nor the actual melody are quite stable yet. Nor are the verses, for that matter.

And I was able to get Colleen's netscape wrapper written and working; just about the time she was finished reading her friends list. One easily-corrected bug: it turns out that netscape really expects its terminal window to be white-on-black.

Weight this morning: 181.8. Range for the week from there to about 183.5, but it's progress.

Sunday afternoon

Walked around the Rose Garden today; that, and pretty much the entire day so far, have been spent working on Quiet Victories. There's a rough but "complete" lyric and a corresponding recording. I may have them up in a few days, but there are some people whose personal stories a couple of verses are based on, and I had to give them a head start in case they wanted to kill me first.

( Hmm. Could post some of it... )

As for getting much of anything else done over the weekend, well... I'll make some repairs to the drip irrigation system in the front yard, after the gardener (a friend of jilara's) is finished with rakes and shovels and other implements of potential destruction to hoses.

My current web publishing scheme has become distinctly haphazard. It's all because my "main" site is still on rahul.net under thestarport.org, in spite of the fact that everything's really on dreamhost and could be updated trivially by rsync and maybe some symlinks.

6-9 08:14 Will post in full, with music, later this evening after I've had a chance to make a few edits and cut a new recording.

current mood: high
