the better part of me

Today I programmed the functions that allow you to reply to reviews either right on the page or in a PM, and the functions that allow people to report submissions that are breaking the rules. Reported stories will be investigated by the moderators, and if they agree there's a problem, the system will send me a PM. This will allow me to only have new submissions moderated (extra chapters, for example, will get a free pass) without having to worry too much about people adding a hentai chapter to a G-rated fic or something. These functions have been added to both the library and the gallery.

Nine essential functions to go before moving day...although I'm still not sure how I'm going to afford the new hosting plan right now. x_x

.moon development plan

1) Alpha Stage: Construction
    Only Dejana has full access.
2) Beta Stage: Testing
    The selected 10 beta-testers have full access.
3) Gamma Stage: Limited Release
    The first 100 people to register have full access.
4) Delta Stage: Full Release
    Open to whoever comes along.

I'm mainly putting this together for Kelleh, who's designing the default theme for .moon, but I'm posting it here in my journal (in-crowd locked of course) in case any of the rest of you want to create a theme. And for future reference as well.

It'll be lengthy, so...

( cutting )

There you have it! Finished!

And damn, it's a lot of work. @_@ Kelleh, if this is too much, you can just make a big layout image and I can do the slicing and color choosing and stuff if you'd rather not mess with it. I didn't realize how insanely detailed something like this is, since I did it bit by bit. ^^;;

The Gallery is now just as finished as the Library is. The Alpha stage of development is half done. All I need to do is build myself a weekly update page, and .moon will be ready to move out of my testing area to its real URL.

Wow. I can't believe this thing's almost ready for members.

I think I’ve just made my first moderator enemy. And strangely, I don’t care. There’s been a lot of stuff going down lately that I take issue with, but I won’t discuss it here. The only reason this is hitting my blog is I’m at work and can’t chat on AIM about it. XD

Time to sit back and watch the inevitable wave of ass-kissing. Time really is a circle, isn’t it?

Wow, my blog entries seem to be getting shorter and shorter lately. I should write about something else. Let’s see.

I’m definately flying to Otakon instead of driving. The Fic Bitch bailed me out on the vanishing-group thing, so I’m saved as far as housing goes. :D Unfortunately I don’t have time for my Milly cosplay anymore (and no way in hell am I going to try to get the stungun on a plane) so I’ll probably just be plain old me. Plus, I didn’t get into Otaku Idol. At this point though I’m glad to be going at all. Still no motivation to write, so I don’t know if the AAO side story plan is going to go through or not, but we’ll see.

In other news, I finished another page of to-dos for my new website project. Only twelve more pages to go. Plus an additional section I haven’t planned out yet. -_-

I’m bored and dying for my day at work to be over. So here I am.

Wow, I actually FORGOT that I was revising “As In Autumn!” Wow, that’s bad. ^^;; Good thing I have my blog to remind me, even if I don’t feel like working on it at the moment.

45 minutes to go. Then I can go home and work on my big website project. This weekend’s task is Fun with Forms! Hoorah. I also have to figure out what the hell I’m going to wear to my coworker’s wedding tomorrow, and find the invitation so I know where the hell I’m going. Oh, and wrap the gift, too. At least this time I bought the stuff in advance.

Last weekend was Nina’s baby shower and I was terribly unprepared. There I was at Target buying last-minute gifts half an hour before the shower and just shoving them in a bag, when I’m practically famous for giving lovely wrapped gifts. I didn’t even have time to write in the card, so I left it out. It’s still in the back window of my car, probably getting all faded in the sun in the parking lot even right now. And I was still late to the shower. I felt like scum. What kind of a friend am I, that I couldn’t be prepared for one of the biggest events in her life? There was no excuse for that. And here I was all sad about not being closer to Nina. Like I deserve her friendship.

Anyway. Off the sad train. Wow, if anyone ever actually starts reading this blog, I’ll be pretty embarrassed. ^^;; Originally I was keeping my personal babble on another site but lately I’ve figured, what the heck. Once I get this blog upgraded (another task for this weekend) maybe I’ll start marking some entries members-only or something. Once I’m done with my new website project traffic here should be picking up considerably.

The stuff I ordered finally starting arriving, woohoo! Yay for “RENT” and “Jesus Christ Superstar” soundtracks, and pretty glass lanterns! I just need some gravel and potting soil now to finish filling up the pots on my balcony, and then I can plant some flowers and get my lanterns set up. Next week for sure if not this weekend. Today is my last normal day of my last normal week. I’m doing a couple shifts next week and a couple regular days, and then the week after that, it’s full-on shift schedule time! No more of this 9 to 5 crap, thank God. I’ll only be able to catch maybe one “Robot Chicken” a month, though, from now on. Boo.

Not that it’s going to be very helpful posting this here, but everyone, go read The Exiles. ‘Cuz it rocks.
