Ok, ok, I know. It’s not a big deal. But it is to me!
I have been looking all over for the amazingly elusive breadcrumbs plugin for PyBlosxom
and found it nowhere. So, having the kind of attitude I do, I decided to try my hand at it. You can see the results in action on this site.
Prior to now, all the Python coding I had done was directly related to either server maintenance or parsing large text files.
If you would like a copy of my breadcrumbs implementation you can download it here.
Why is it that when things really get busy you find yourself thinking about everything but the task at hand? You have to wonder, are there still vestiges of teenage procrastination (the “I-can-get-it-done-any-time” syndrome) lingering about.
Perhaps the real reason is that after working long hours on a project, any project, the brain just needs to rest. Perhaps, just like those long sets at the gym that leave your muscles feeling bloodless and dead, long bouts of intellectual strain leave you brain-tired.
BREAK
I happen to think that may be closer to the truth. I have put in many long hours trying to get this site up and functional, and it has already been through several iterations, software-wise, to get to the point it is now (about 50%, functionally speaking.)
There are lots of other things I want to implement here, but am finding it hard at the moment to sit and concentrate on coding. So, I guess this is as good a time as any to throw some content up in the writings section, and to test the readmore functionality while I am at it.
Once I have this up and have taken a brain break, (I think a stupid movie may be in order), I will have to get back on what I am doing.
