Yay Responsible Adulthood

[bethlakshmi]

...OK... semi-responsible semi-adulthood. Managed to get a nice dinner last night (mmm.... Indian eggplant and cold chicken & yogurt 'salad'), and then went home and cleaned up the paint scraping mess, and returned new_man's heat gun. Got distracted by the charming mermaidlady and a long discussion of how the SCA 'should be'. But, after some caffinated tea, got back home and FINALLY made the updates to the webpages I've been meaning to make.


Almost all of it is work on the headers and footers of each page, so a massive cut/copy/paste operation. Changes included:
- remove robots meta-tag so we can be found by Google and other search engines
- add a keyword meta tag so that when search engines find us, they'll know what we are about
- add SCA, Boston, MA to the page title and header, for further search engine encouragement and new person clarification
- put spam protection on webmaster email address at the bottom of each page
- add a link to a webmaster page, so I can have a forum for personal expression
- wrote forum and did some personal expression
- removed past events from events page

Still pondering the idea of a caro_web_dev LiveJournal, to be a forum for dicussion and a different kind of net presense. What I really want is a place for release notes, including both fixed and known bugs, as well as the opportunity to hear from users in a not-so-technical forum. Ended up in debate about this last Saturday... with the opposition suggesting a real bug tracking system would be more effective. It was a cogent enough argument to make me think about the process... but the more I think about it, the less I want my user forum to be something so technical as an acutal bug tracking system. Even the side a user usually sees - the trouble ticket system - is a bit formal for my taste. I think I want something where users can shoot off something simple to me, and the possibility of another user answering the first user's question may not be all bad...

I suppose I'll never know unless I get my act together and give it a shot. But not today... need to focus on work-things.



On the list for tonight - pay bills! Law & Order is great with bill paying. Sadly, I find that West Wing uses some of the smart part of the brain, which is also demanded by bill paying, so that I can't do both effectively. But the "drama" of L&O is fabulous.

Nitpicky, I know, but 'foo = foo++;' does not change the value of foo. :-)

As long as the bug isn't "system entirely fails to work" (or even "cannot create new bug reports") many projects include tracking system bugs within the tracking system, e.g. in Bugzilla there are numerous bugs for product Bugzilla.
