The News: Saturday, December 8 Edition

Sometimes, I wonder what the heck I was thinking. I’ve been involved with the beta testing of a recipe site with forums for the last couple of months, and we’re nearing public unveiling. But there are, of course, 847 little nitpicky and time-consuming things that need to be done to get it ready, and the development team is understandably buried in them. So because I mostly just sit here in my recliner while my bones knit, I volunteered to do some of the grunt work for them. I haven’t heard anything yet on if they’ll even want me to, but it occurs to me that the primary project could easily be a more than full time job. Well, what the heck…it’ll give me another option to amuse myself. I don’t know how to act without at least four projects going at a time.
