Actually, I know the answer to that: because I’ve always wanted to start at the top. Packaging and marketing a book like that takes work. EVERYTHING takes work. But the more outrageous my presentation, the louder I crow, the greater the chance that God will just send an angel to the front door with a suitcase full of money.

Web Work! [Updated]

What do you know, I worked most of the day and couldn’t be happier.
I’ve just spent the better part of five hours sitting in this chair without even getting up once for coffee or a bathroom break. What that’s accomplished is a vastly improved user experience at FotoFeed, where one can now search for images [...]

Now I have work to do!
I have tons of video and still pictures to process. But most important of all is the astounding transformative dreaming I experienced on my last night in Iowa. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before, and I’ll be writing about that, too. There’s so much to write about [...]

Yup, it’s all set up: here’s the page. If you use the Kindle e-reading device, you can subscribe to FarrFeed for just $1.99/mo. What a deal! If this isn’t what you’ve always wanted, I don’t know what could be.

If all goes well, by this time tomorrow I’ll be finished with a job that I was paid for in December.
Oh, they knew it wouldn’t be done until now, but I’ll never do that again. The project, however, is almost fun: converting a big existing website for a small corporate client to WordPress CMS [...]

Yes, and doing very well.
I spent the day being mostly responsible, taking care of of overdue Web work for a few clients, sorting through the old emails, that kind of thing. The wind was howling under a partly cloudy sky, and I mean howling: last night it blew so hard, the chimney cap is in [...]

Blog Development Intervention

It’s come to that. I need to get my body out into the world.
I just emailed my Aussie Web marketing consultant in Adelaide to tell him I needed to come down for a bodysurfing lesson. I’ve been possessed, you see. Too much living in my head. It’s like I can’t be trusted to do anything [...]

Eureka! [Updated]

Sorry, I’ve been lost in geekland, working on the new site. But I think I have it now, the thing that’s been holding me up: WordPress conditional tags. I had to study up on PHP syntax, but I got a little test to work. Heh.
What this means is that I can have certain blocks of [...]

“Well??????” — A Tale of High Geekery

by John H. Farr on February 9, 2009 · 2 comments

in Blog News, Technology

It was a webmaster’s worst nightmare, and it wouldn’t go away.
I’d had less than four hours sleep each night last week, working on the new FarrFeed, and was ready to crash early. All Sunday evening, I’d been trying to figure out the PHP code for making a block of text appear on just one particular [...]

The newest version of Thesis is even more awesome. The new site, which will look nothing like this one, is coming along. Hang in there!
UPDATE: Still not ready, working almost 24/7 on this… going to sleep with PHP code running through my head … searching forums and user manuals, creating graphics, hashing out site architecture, [...]

Up Late

Went to bed Tuesday night — er, Wednesday morning — at 4:00 a.m., got up at 7:45 a.m. Had a 90-minute nap Wednesday afternoon during which I actually slept for maybe 40 minutes.
It’s after 1:00 a.m. Thursday now. Working on new website, having fun. I just spent a good two hours analyzing and backward-engineering some [...]
