Late Night

September 10, 2007

I stayed up all night working on my business website.  I am utterly exhausted.  I tried to stay awake with caffeine [Diet Coke] which I now dislike with a passion.  Never one to really drink soft drinks I must say that drinking enough to stay awake was a rather disgusting experience.

At any rate, my plans to work on my business website were foiled numerous times.  First, the ZenCart template was horrible and continued to not do what it should do based on the code.  But it appeared that the custom template was making calls to other pages that were inconsistent with what is typical.  So, I had to scrap that.  I moved on to osCommerce but it was lacking in features compared to ZenCart (it’s sister cart) and I had a number of other problems that I had with ZenCart.  Finally, I settled on CubeCart - which I had actually dealt with long ago and did not have a problem with it.  It is less robust than ZenCart but that’s not necessarily a bad thing - especially when I am crazy from lack of sleep.  Fortunately, I actually have the website operational.  I just need to add the stock and photos of the products then I will be ready.  I suspect everything will be [properly] finished by tomorrow.  I would hate to launch when I am crazy from lack of sleep.

In retrospect, I realize now that I am just too old to pull all-nighters like I used to do as almost everynight.

Wordpress Themes for Business

June 18, 2007

I am trying to create my business WordPress theme and I am not having very much fun with it.  It is probably because I am exhausted and too busy with other things to give this small project my full attention.  I shall have to allot more time to this…

I am currently stripping ALL the wallpaper in the family room off the wall. What fun, what fun. Well, I’m close to finishing actually, thank goodness. Now I just have to prime the walls, paint the top and bottom and re-decorate *sigh* Well, at least I’ll be in better spirits, I already am. I should be an interior decorator, except I dislike people.
