KEM
Not much progress going on here, but I’m determined to be happy if the numbers move at all. I’ve been doing a lot of jumping back to research because I have some burning question I need answered. It bugs me until I give in and find the answer whether or not it will be relevant in the future or not. Can’t shut my brain off, so it’s okay to placate it every once in a while or at least that’s my rationalization.

SPD
Again, not much going on here, but there’s still movement. I’ll take anything right now. If I can manage to write even a tiny bit with life interfering left and right, I feel like I’m making progress. I’ll keep plugging along in the meantime and remain confident that the numbers will continue to grow. An interesting task for an optimistic pessimist.

Finally out of research mode with KEM this week. I’ll still need to dive back into the research from time to time while I’m writing, but I was stalling actually starting by researching much more than I really needed to. I haven’t gotten much done yet, but progress is progress. 721 words is 721 words I didn’t have yesterday.

SPD has been sitting idle all summer and it felt good to get back to it. I was a little lost after letting it sit for so long, but I’m back in the swing of things now. I have a long way to go, but I’m anticipating a fun ride getting there. Still working out a good way to track characters and I’m appreciating what writers for a series must have to deal with while trying to keep what happened in the past straight.

I’m trying to stick with just these two projects for now and not start any new ones. I have a tendency to start new project after new project, which means I have one I’m dying to start, of course.

So, a small bit of progress over this last week. But, it’s progress and I’ll take any forward movement I can get.

Apparently, I was more than ready for 2009 in December.

You see, I usually write a blog entry, then schedule it to post for anywhere from an hour to a day in the future so I can go back and edit it before it posts just in case I think of something else, want to word something differently, or remove something I shouldn’t have said. For some reason, I scheduled a bunch of blog entries for December of 2009. I’m not sure how it happened, but it did. Oops.

So, several past blog entries should be showing up here in a few minutes.

Podpress is not working in WP 2.6… at least from what I see on the mightyseek forums. It is impossible to add media files at all with podpress for tons of podcasters that have already upgraded to WP 2.6.

So now… it’s not working with podango or locally for me. Ugh!

Here’s the current thread: Podpress is broken Still reading through it myself.

It looks like Mightyseek is due to release an update around the 28th. So, no podcast until then. I have one waiting for the fix, probably two by then.

I might set up something else in the meantime if I have some extra time on my hands this week. I know better than to upgrade to the newest version of something right when it comes out.

Ok, here’s the problem. I’m using podpress and podango, but the files I upload aren’t showing up at podango. I uploaded a file manually at podango instead of using podpress and podpress isn’t linking correctly to it.

It was working… and now it isn’t. Ugh. I have no idea how to fix it and searching both podango and the web hasn’t netted any help. If anyone stumbles in here that can help, please get in touch with me.

For now, I’m gonna get back to work and try again later. Sorry.

Nothing I’ve tried so far has worked. I’m gonna take a break and try again later. I’m sorry everyone… for the life of me, I cannot figure out what could have possibly happened.

Sorry to those of you that tried to get the podcast this morning. I have no idea what the problem is, but I’m working on it.

Well, uploads aren’t working for some reason.  I’ll try a work around in the morning.  Hopefully, I’ll get it to work somehow.  This is supposed to be a lot easier than this, right?
