Code Monkey

It's absurd, as I know less than anybody I know about how to build webpages, but I've spent the better part of the last 48 waking hours mocking up something in hand-coded HTML for work, trying desperately to get the layout to look right and the fonts and so forth to do what I want them to.

It's all terrible, of course, but there was nothing for it but to forge ahead. The worst of it is that the finished product is nothing more than a sample, which only a few people will glance at, probably in meetings which I will not attend, and which will either (1) represent a stillborn project that will never come to fruition, or (2) be absolutely superseded in the execution by work which other people will do -- other people who will have no interest in what I've produced.

I'll get over it. But right now I feel a certain tenderness for this ugly mass of cut-'n'-pasted, sloppily rewritten code, that produces something sorta kinda resembling a new feature that it would be cool to have on our site. Remind me to save it someplace.

Does It Need a Bunch of Entries?

Because it will mean that we have over 9 months before December 25th comes, and therefore almost 8 before holiday marketing really rachets up; 20 or so blessed fortnights before another Bush State of the Union is thrust upon us; 11 months until the next Superbowl; and almost a full 52 weeks before another round of Academy Award hype becomes the story of the hour. Not even "March Madness" can keep us from experiencing the felicity of such a long hiatus...
