See you in a few days!

I can’t wait for SXSW to arrive. My one disappointment is that there are very few Ruby on Rails panels. Other than that, I’m most interested in seeing panels on embedding web fonts, CSS frameworks, CSS3, HTML5, and developing apps for the iphone and ipad. See you there!

1. Blog once a week: I’ve actually managed 2-3 posts per week so far and I have some ideas on series that should help me keep to that goal through April at least.

2. Cleaning up my site: Done. I’ll continue to tweak it throughout the year but it’s presentable.

3. Try to make those blog posts useful: I think I’m trending in the right direction on this one but I need more time to evaluate.

4. Sell stock images and website themes: I’m behind on this one. I haven’t had time to create the stock images to get started. But I did read iStockPhoto’s submission manual and passed their test, so I’m making incremental progress on this one.

5. Become better at project management: This is an ongoing goal. I think I am getting better but there is probably a ceiling to how far I can take this goal. What I need to focus on right now is faster project management. I’m going to slow on some tasks.

6. Manage personal projects like job projects: 50/50. I’m scheduling time and managing my personal projects, but I’m only getting the blogging done and not the stock stuff. Scheduling more time than I already have is going to be challenging though. So I think I need to become faster at both writing and project management.

7. Start writing fiction: I haven’t started, which is fine, because this was a longer term goal and I’ve given myself all year to start.

Thanks for the comment!

I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town
It hovered in a frozen sky, then it gobbled summer down
When the sun turns traitor cold
and shivering trees are standing in a naked row
I get the urge for going but I never seem to go

I get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in

I had me a man in summertime
He had summer-colored skin
And not another girl in town
My darling’s heart could win
But when the leaves fell trembling down
Bully winds did rub their faces in the snow
He got the urge for going And I had to let him go

He got the urge for going
When the meadow grass was turning brown
Summertime was falling down and winter was closing in

The warriors of winter they gave a cold triumphant shout
And all that stays is dying and all that lives is getting out
See the geese in chevron flight flapping and racing on before the snow
They’ve got the urge for going, they’ve got the wings to go

They get the urge for going
When the meadow grass is turning brown
Summertime is falling down and winter is closing in

I’ll ply the fire with kindling and pull the blankets to my chin
and I’ll the vagrant winter out and bolt my wandering in
I’d like to call back summertime and have her stay jut another month or so
She’s got the urge for going and I guess she’ll have to go

And she get the urge for going when meadow grass is turning brown
All her empires are falling down
winter’s closing in

The link on the page numbers, etc. does not come out correctly unless I change your code in the class to the actual page where I’m calling the class on the following line:

if (substr($path, -1) != “?” && substr($path, -1) != “&”) $path .= “page.php?”;

See where I changed the path to page.php?. It now works great, but I want to use this for other pages too so I must be doing something wrong. Any ideas?
