I’m Back!
I’ve been away from this particular blog and the Hierophant job for a while, as you may have noticed. Here’s a slightly blurry picture of the reason why:
I’m more or less back now, though, and I’ve hit upon a plan. It has two parts:
1. I still want a deputy. I’ll remove the existing Politarchopolis site and replace it with something underpowered but easy to maintain if I can’t find a competent PHP programmer, and then any old muggins will be able to look after it. Obviously I’d rather find someone competent, but that’s looking implausible.
2. I will set aside an hour a week, generally on Sunday evening, to do website stuff. It should be all it needs. Giving it a regular time slot makes it a little easier to convince my Beloved to look after the munchkins while I work, and means that nobody is going to need to be disappointed if things don’t get updated according to their whims, because it’s my whims that are the relevant factor.
If we’re happy with that, I’ll get to it. I’ve already put up the last four Griffintayles, which I only just got today from the B&B. Tomorrow night I’ll put up links to these officer blogs, so people can start finding them and (I hope!) officers can start using them.
As always, I’m looking for people who can take event details, condense them to the essentials, and email me the condensed version. The biggest chore in this job is wading through reams of long-winded and florid woffle to extract the sense of an announcement. It’s why a bunch of events never got advertised: I just didn’t feel up to it, with an exhausted pregnant wife and a lot of other work on my plate. If someone — anyone, anywhere — would do the editing for me, the site would be a thing of wonder. Think about that the next time you feel like complaining, OK?
