Next Week

I am planning something special for next week, and if all goes as planned, I will have a whole week’s worth of blogs. I’m quite excited about it and as soon as I had the idea while trying desperately to amuse myself in Biology this morning I became rapt with the idea.

I simply cannot wait.

I’m also trying to figure out what I want to do here. Ideally, I want to move all the posts here to At0mica.net instead of having a separate blog, which seems sort of stupid. It’s going to take some “finangling” (heh, American slang for messing with / fiddling with) to get the posts to import properly, though. You see, I’ve already got some posts in the WP installation for At0mica.net and those posts will have the same IDs as some posts found in this WP installation, and that will be a problem when I go to import posts from here. I don’t want any posts to lose their way between here and there, and so I’ll have to figure out what to do with these “overlap” posts. I really want to get a new layout up on At0mica, move this blog over there, and then have my little special thing next week. Of course, as usual, this is just what I’d want to happen ideally and, also as usual, something might come up or… well who knows what. We’ll see.

In other news, I’m building a PHP event calendar as part of my job and I’m thinking that if it turns out well enough I may decide to put it up for download. I’m quite happy with just getting as far as I have with it, even if programming in python these past few months has made it incredibly frustrating with the whole semicolon situation in PHP. (Python does not require semicolons at the end of lines/commands where as PHP does. For instance, if I wanted to make the screen print a sentence in python:

print "Hello this is a line of text in the command prompt."

While in PHP, there’s a semicolon at the end:

echo "Hello this is a line of text - don't forget the semicolon!";

It just gets irritating because I’ll be coding along in PHP and load it up in my browser only to get several errors screaming at me for forgetting the semicolons. At least I have the logic right, I guess.
