Trapped Under Ice

Well, I couldn’t get into work yesterday – the snow and ice were such that the road was closed at Hillend, and a traffic accident blocked the other route out to Straiton. So I stayed home – just as well, as work closed very early too. There’s about a foot of snow at my work, and that is now mostly ice, although the roads are passable again today. There’s two-foot icicles hanging off the roof while I blog on my lunch hour – pretty but lethal! Town itself is starting to become easier to navigate although it can be pretty dicey where the snow has re-frozen after thawing. Baby steps needed – my shoulder still aches a bit!

I did some pretty major changes to the website yesterday – creating a Dreamweaver Template that pretty much removes the need to update each page individually. I removed some of the defunct Javascript and updated the Google Analytics script. Despite the template, I still need to update the Wiki skin, the Zikula and the WordPress templates manually – but that’s nothing major. I also moved the Shadows Lengthen and Ties of Blood PBM pages to a new section, the Archive area of the wiki. The Archive area is something of a dumping ground for my ideas and former projects (and diabolical plans!) that never came to fruition. I tried to get short URLS to work with MediaWiki, but that seems to be too difficult – the hacks I tried didn’t work or bollixed up the site – short URL s would be pretty but they’re not essential. Meh.

Hmm. What else is going on? I’m also turning Ties of Blood into a board game although this is still in the early stages! I also need to get the next Ashes of Freedom game written. More and more folk are signing up for it, and I’m not sure  if I can sustain it next game if more than seven people want to play!
