Grounded by wingstubs

The cold temperatures and my flat keyboard at work have my wingstubs in an uproar. I hurt, so I took today off from work.



Writing Stuff:

It’s official. I’m the new Managing Editor of Tangent, effective immediately. Congrats and commiserations to me! A new and improved site is in the works. At the very least, a functioning skeleton should be up ASAP.

Started my rewrite on the SF story that went through Critters. Hoping to have it out to market tomorrow.

Also sent the huli jing story up to the Critters queue. It should go up next week.

Words: -300 via several editing passes.

    So, Editor Eugie, is there anything this humble writer can do for Tanget?

    I figured you’ll soon be inundated with such requests, so why not be early in line?

      Thanks! Slush reader? Not so much, but another fiction reviewer? Quite possibly!

        The web site is a bit of a mess at the moment… let me know if I can do anything to help with that.

        Oh, and don’t you have an ergonomic keyboard?

          Understatement of the year (well, 2005 at least)! Tangent‘s tech person, Jen Johnson, is responsible for that side of things. She runs her own web company, Offlead Productions. She’ll be migrating Tangent to her server ASAP, which will clean up a lot of the errors straight up. We also need to transfer the domain ownership, which will probably take a couple days.

          The hosting/development environment that she’s using for Tangent is linux/apache/mysql/php. If you’re comfy with those, let me know and I’ll drop her a line letting her know that you’re raring to help out if she gets swamped!

          Oh, and don’t you have an ergonomic keyboard?

          I have one at home, and I had one at work. But, there was this tea incident at work . . . I’m requisitioning a new ergo keyboard, but it’ll probably take a few days before it arrives.

            I used to be comfortable with Unix, but it’s been a while. Alas, PHP gives me nightmares. I’m a wiz at SQL… but it sounds I’d need a wider range of skills to contribute.

            Just let me know if you need my help with anything at all. I never seem to be horribly busy these days.

            Thanks. I’m in a similar boat with you. SQL, I can do, but the rest I’d need to brush up my skill-set big time. But if there’s anything that pops up that involves SQL you can help with, no fear, I’ll come a-begging!

    Congrats!

    Have I told you I worship at your avatar every morning? Yup.

    My story submission is on its way. (Actually, I have nothing to submit at the moment, so I guess I worship in vain.)
