pressure

...so to speak, is on.

and now, the work/blog equation shifts firmly into the "work" side; although at present, as the edit-person in this enterprise my main inputs are at the beginning and mostly end of project arcs, i still await the pieces of the puzzles that i need to put together to begin the storyreels.

in the meantime: i have migrated the workstations on our floor to the latest version of the render management software (a sunday implementation - best done when no one else is working, naturally); the extant 12 render farm units have had some tweaking done to some aspect of their operating systems.

also, i have gotten some traction out of a tricky bid to prove a concept workable for a business i seem to be a part of building. yay for me. it involved apache/php/perl -- which meant a whole lot of online searching for code snippets to accomplish what it was that needed proving -- and appparently it was proved enough for the powers that be. now it is for the programmers in the other divisions to expound on the concept (though i do hope they consult back to us to make sure that they're not barking up the wrong tree -- the barking/wrong tree part is frightfully easy to do, and i've seen how that works first hand, in the old company. didn't help that the lead programmer in that effort was so intractable about his code over the needs of the user.).

anyway, onward!
