Transitions in waiting.
I'm trying to transition back into posting. But - what to say? I've been working hard during the day (and taking the pleasure of avoiding work when NOT at the office), where I'm away from Radio. I think it's time to move Radio Userland onto my iPod (and go - again! - through the pains of moving Radio) to keep it mobile (the path should stay the same, regardless of whether the iPod is attached to my workstation, my iBook (which is still going unused these days due to a SMC Wireless Barricade whose power adapter with strange requirements is missing in action), or my iMac. Or, I can open Radio up to post to over a blogging API and host it on my always-on workstation. I don't know. I'm never at the machine I want to be on when I have something interesting to say. It may also be time to move to Movable Type or some other server side setup, of which Movable Type seems the most complete. But then there's the issue of moving past posts in Radio to MT. Or I could write up an FDoc based solution for Zope and the CMF (FDoc is the pending product name for my compound document project that I've been working on off and on over the past few months), but I don't have the time or will-to-care to do that much coding outside of work. I have other things I'm behind on, like wrapping up the Eucci & Co. entry in No Type's Sine Fiction series, and putting together the More Summer Dress Fire release - I don't even know how big that one's going to be, and whether I should be seeking out putting it on CD, or getting a release on No Type, some other online label, or continue to put it up at Euc.cx. And, ski season is coming up, and I really need to start bringing in more money to support my drinking habit (the Cabana Club has become a second home to me now). It's not that I drink heavily (well...), but that the good Scotch's, the good vodka's, the good beers, etc. And maybe a fine cigar or two. And friends. And then there's all those CD's to import from Japan, such as Pizzicato Five and Yukari Fresh, DVD box sets like The Godfather Series, and the first three seasons of The Sopranos while I sit and dream of a deluxe box set of ALL episodes of Homicide: Life on the Street. And did I mention S k i i n g??

sigh

And I didn't even talk about traveling. Oh well, as long as I can continue to do SOME of those, life will be good. There are other aspirations as well.

So somehow, Zope 3 weekend experimenting is a little off the charts right now, but where I get a chance to work with it at the office, I will. And of course, there will be reports here.

In the meantime, buy this and this - finest packaging and noises.

And in the mean-mean time - the democratic party is dead to me right now, and I'm having a hard time even finding a stomach to cast a vote this year. (there, now this post can land in the political category too).
