Willamette Radio fully operational again
I finally have WRW back up fully. I’ll still need to put some of the modifications back on the board, but since those only affect me as administrator, I’m counting my work as “done enough.” This evening we had Don and Wayne over for wine and a light meal. For Rob’s birthday, Don had given

Audio recording of “Rampion”
I almost for got in my frustrations of yesterday. I got an email from The First Line yesterday. Hi, Mary – We’d like to use your story Rampion for an upcoming edition of TFL on Tape. I don’t know if you have the ability to read and record the story yourself, but if you do,

Hackers
Today I spent thirteen hours on the computer trying to undo the damage that some hacker did to the Willamette Radio Workshop site.

So far, I’ve just replaced it and adjusted the chmod permissions.

Garden Party

Scenic Design
I’ve been working on Arabian Nights design around helping out with Shimmer and am pretty pleased with what I’m doing, if I do say so myself. We’ll see what Chris and Emily say when they see the drawings.
A new online magazine
Because I really don’t have enough things going on in my life right now, I started working on a new online magazine called, Shimmer. I was supposed to just be an occasional advisor, but you know how things go. Anyway, it’s open for submissions now, and the first issue is due out in October.

Troubleshooting
I spent the day on the computer troubleshooting two different websites, editing a manuscript and playing with a logo. My eyes are crossing now.
