I paid the price this weekend for my failure to organize the files at the Tripod site as I went along. But the task of moving the pages to Geocities is now done, more or less. Changing the links on files that dated all the way back to November (when I was posting daily) made me appreciate the recent months when my output has been less frequent.

I haven't changed the appearance of the pages significantly, other than to rid the index page of the straggling list of entries, and to divide that list into annual directories with monthly index pages. So, now I've got archives, although that's far too grand a word for the old stuff I've warehoused there. Soon I'll add a photo to the index page and I might add more navigation links to the monthly index pages.

Other than that, business/busy-ness/buzzy-ness as usual here. I've spent waaaaay too much time at the keyboard this weekend typing ../../, adding an 'l' to .htm extensions, pasting the Sitemeter code on pages that didn't have it, and replacing the tripod.net e-mail address with a mailcity address. Details, details, details -- I hate them when they require repetition.

I'll continue to update the pages at the Tripod address, but soon a banner or pop-up ad will appear there. I'll maintain the site as a backup to the pages currently at Geocities and I'll eventually copy the files at Geocities back to identical directories at the Tripod site so that the links will work at both sites.

The working site will be at http://www.geocities.com/rcpatt. Currently an ad square pops up on the Geocities pages. I'll let it stand for a while, but I suspect soon it will irritate me and I'll ante up the Visa number for a Geoplus subscription.

I'm numb, and I only typed and proofread a little. Imagine the tenacity of the masons who did the work stone by stone on the facade shown in the photo. Not only do I not have the energy for that, I don't have the energy to crop that photo as well as I might have.

Night-night.

I finally downloaded IE5 today. It took about an hour with a 50667bps connection.
