It's amazing what can happen when a co-worker makes sure that nobody walks away until the job's done.
At the moment, I'm simply relaxing from a night of work while writing this entry. I've had quite a bit on my mind as of late. Most of it involves the website.
For those who read yesterday's entry, I'll be moving my site to e107. It's a content management system that I'm more familiar with. In terms of security, no matter what software is used, matters tend to improve when one actually keeps an eye on things and updates as needed.
I'm thinking of doing an unorthodox thing by going with a theme that isn't graphically intense. After all, certain sites like this one and this one get plenty of traffic without graphics everywhere all the time.
Plus, a valid point is made when the individual in question on one of the sites states the following:
A successful site is supposed to be about the content. All the pretty graphics in the world won't guarantee success. Plus, the theme I'm thinking of using may give the site an underground feel.
"Some webmasters have spent years tweaking their layout and designing their site, and very few get any traffic. This site, as shitty as it looks, gets over 1 million visits per month. I use large fonts also as a protest against all the stylish garbage you see out there. When I go to a web site, I WANT TO READ THE CONTENT. Trust me, that micro-font everyone uses isn't nearly as original as they think. I've chosen a black background for most of my text because it's easier on the eyes than staring at a white screen. Think about it: your monitor is not a piece of paper, no matter how hard you try to make it one. Staring at a white background while you read is like staring at a light bulb (don't believe me? Try turning off the lights next time you use a word processor). Would you stare at a light bulb for hours at a time? Not if you want to keep your vision." --Maddox
I am looking forward to working on it very soon. Once this is done, I'll be able to focus on posting content.
On the life front, I have started noticing my sleep schedule changing a bit. I've been going to bed around 11 AM or noonish and getting up at 9 PM; just an hour before work. Perhaps changing the way I'm eating is helping matters a bit.
I also did a good deed after I clocked out from work. The ring that I had with real turquoise was returned to the very person who left it behind. Even if it wasn't their ring, they had one exactly like it.
I couldn't let a friend go without such an heirloom either way. I simply took it off the chain and handed it to him. Hopefully, he'll hold onto it for the rest of his days. May he and it never part ways.
Anyhoo, it's time for me to wind down so I can eventually go to bed. I'm thinking the migration of the website may occur after I get home Sunday morning.
At least it would give me something to do while waiting for an appropriate time to go to bed.
