Varia and sundry
I think I successfully changed phase for my CMS user course now. This morning, I woke up a bit before the alarm, and tonight, I'm no longer tired out of my skull as I was Monday and yesterday.
Tomorrow will be doable, and I'm not really worried about presenting the project I was supposed to have worked on. The templates finally turned out beautifully, especially after the Nazgul and I worked out that one mustn't edit files with Typo3's built-in editor but instead reupload them after every change; the built-in editor kills the entire CMS installation while saving, sooner or later. At least in the standard instances of Typo3 installed on the computers at the course location we are at. Now, she got her layout to work and I mine, we have some nice medieval-related content for both and I did a table with upcoming medieval events that looks REALLY nice, and we are ready to roll.
The problem will be doing it again on Tuesday, which is the last day of the five-day course, because of all the holidays in-between. So I guess I will have to keep in phase all weekend, which is a pity, then do the 8 - 4 thing again on Tuesday, then let it peter out towards a more natural schedule through the rest of the week.
ETA: Well, not quite -- at least I hope I normally would turn on the cooker underneath the pot in which I mean to boil water to cook rice. I need a Japanese rice cooker. Showing the Nazgul my pictures from Japan recently, I was reminded of the existence of such enormously useful gadgets.
