Jeff and I have talked off and on this week about work distractions. I've been having a lot of them lately, and it didn't hit me until a couple of days ago that they had something to do with my level of frustration at work.
I've had my head firmly buried in Drupal for nearly two years now, and it's starting to show. I've come a long way. My starting point was "I have seen mentions of this software, I do not know what it does, but it might suit our needs." Since then I've progressed to having built a multi-site install, managed by CVS—entirely on my own. The development of my knowledge can be traced on my user account on drupal.org; my questions have slowly become more knowledgeable as I've fought my way—solo—through two very difficult conversions/migrations and a few others that were significantly easier.
The quilting table is back in business, on a very different project than the one I just finished. 'Red shift' contained a very limited color spectrum (crimson fading to black) and I'd hoped that my next project would be a bit more colorful and free-form.
I have now been tagged for the "25 random things" meme about ten times, so I suppose I should actually pony up and generate a list. Many of you should recognize some or all of these, but people who are newer to cat.net in general won't know all of them. For extra bonuses, I'll link to some entries.
