I'm just noticing now that half of summer is gone and I haven't really done any summer stuff. PHP Hacks, which was supposed to be a walk in the park is turning out to be a lot more work than I expected. I was well ahead of schedule, as usual. But I started to turn down the engines a bit and I got a big surprise last week. It turns out my editor and I had vastly different impressions of who was handling the contributors. As a result where I was responsible for around 60 hacks, and had about 71 in hand, I now am potentially responsible for 95 hacks with about thirty days left to deliver on that.
I put on the after burners and by tonight I should be at 88. Then by the time I get to Sebastapol for Foo Camp I should be in low 90s. But that's with three still left at 50%. Anyway, I know that doesn't sound bad but I was counting on this section of the time to work smooth out the work I had already done. You know, annotate it with research, clean up the writing, add alternative examples, that sort of thing. Now that all goes out the window on a mad dash to the finish line. Ugh.
Anyway, on the upside, I picked up Alannis Morrisette's "Jagged Little Pill Acoustic", which is an remixed version of "Jagged Little Pill". There doesn't seem to be anything acoustic about it. But who gives a fuck. It's got so much fracking low end that it will leave half of your electrons in the next room over extended listenings. Sweet.
