How true the aphorism that is the title of this entry has been lately – and is true this weekend as well.
We’re doing a major redesign and consolidation of content from all the legacy web sites we absorbed as part of the merger over the next couple months. The planning and readying for this has been going on in one for or another for the last couple months. (We’re talking about a 1+ GB site with hundreds of pages.) Now we (coworker Charan and the various content managers) are finally implementing it.
Of course the content for one of the two managers we are doing first wasn’t ready on time (not his fault, he’s really just the conduit), and now, he, Charan and I are working some long ours to get things done for Monday. And, of course, Murphy and his damnable law are most apt to come into play in times like this – the development server went mostly belly up this morning, and I spent a few hours futzing with it before punting and standing up a new server (nothing to fully functional server, including the regenerated Subversion repositories, in 7 hours counting the time I spent burning the CentOS 4.0 ISOs to cd for the OS install).
So, tomorrow we can finish chasing down dead links and move the new site into production – the first part of which we would have done today, had the server not died. Also tomorrow, I need to do some work for one of Rachel’s clients.
Like I said, not enough hours in the day.
If I could, I’d give you some of the hours of my day and you could use them to rest… or work more shrugs Whatever floats your boat. It’s not like I do anything with them, anyhow.
