State of the Union

I’ve been a little slow in getting the two listings up that I’m currently working on. Unfortunately, life has kept me beyond busy lately, and my time to work on these (or any) fanlistings has been a little scarce. I’m planning on sitting down this weekend and putting in as much time as it takes to get them both launched.

I don’t believe I’ve mentioned it here, but the company I work for is going out of business. This was announced a few months ago, and I’m still here, helping to close the company down. I’ll likely be in one of the last groups to be released from duty, since I deal in the finance/treasury end of things. We think that our final day here will be on March 28, but things could take longer (or quicker) to wind up, so there’s no definite date yet.

What does this mean in regards to my fanlistings? It just means I’ve been extra busy with work (and with trying to get into a vocational rehabiliation program), and so my "free time" to work on listings has been limited. In addition to the two that I need to finish, I have several that are sorely in need of new layouts, that I’ve sadly had to postpone. When I’m finally released from my position here—I might have a little extra time to work on the revamps. Then again, I might be too busy with rehab & looking for a new job that I don’t get to spend as much time as I’d like on them. But, once I get a new job, and settle into a new schedule, things should even back out for me again, and I’ll be able to put my full focus on my fanlistings. Wish me luck in the job hunt!

Edit: March 08, 2008—Both fanlistings are completed and open!

Two new recent approvals! Well, technically three, since I was approved to cross-list the Neil Haskell fanlisting in the Sports category. :) The two new ones, though, are for actor Mark Hildreth, and The Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz. Layouts for both are under way, and I hope to have them open soon.

Edit—I was just also approved for Mark Hildreth under the Male Musicians category, in addition to Actors. Woot!

I was just approved to run the fanlisting for my absolute favorite holiday song, "I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas" by Gayla Peevey. It’s already up and running, so please feel free to join!

I somehow managed to break the KIM script I’m using, I hope to have time to dig into the code soon, and figure out what I did. If I can’t, I guess I’ll just reinstall it again! That should be working soon, but if there’s anything you wish to have me list you for, just feel free to contact me.

All hail the mighty state

The fantabulous Stacie is allowing me to adopt the fanlisting for the state of Texas! The listing is just about ready to go, and should be open within the next day or two. I’m doing two versions of the site—one for users with a higher resolution setting, and one for smaller resolutions. I came up with a wonderful layout that I love, but it really only works best with higher res settings, hence the need for 2 layouts. I just have a few m ore codes to make, and to import the members list, and then it shall be open and ready for more members! (ETA, it’s up now! The lower res version is coming soon.)

The two listings mentioned in my previous update, Wolfram & Hart and Neil Haskell are up and running! They’ve actually been open since the beginning of the month, but I’ll admit I was a little lax in getting this update done.

Part of the reason for the lateness of the update, I had two more fanlistings that I was working on. Crystal allowed me to adopt the Flora, Fauna, & Merryweather ("Sleeping Beauty") listing, and I was also approved to run the M&M's: Green listing. Both are now open and ready for members!

I’ve got two new approvals that I’m working on. One for Neil Haskell, one of the contestants from the most reason season of ‘So You Think You Can Dance’. The other listing will be for Wolfram and Hart, from the ‘Angel’ tv series.

I decided to put up a temporary layout for the Tom Lenk fanlisting. I am leaving the country on vacation in 4 days, and wanted to go ahead and get the listing up and running before I left. Once I get back state-side, I’ll be able to put more time into it and get the layout I want created. The title of the fanlisting is taken from the name of an LA-based comedy troupe, of which Tom is a member.

Last night, I received the approval to run the fanlisting for Tom Lenk. This was my biggest wishlister, so I’m incredibly excited. I wasn’t expecting the approval, but I knew I’d regret it if I didn’t at least apply. I’m incredibly glad I did now!! I’m going to be putting in quite a bit of time on this layout, making sure it’s absolutely perfect.

I’ve recoded a few more of my older fanlistings. I’m still making my way through them, neatening up the code. I’m going to be going on vacation in 9 days, and while I’m out of town, my friend Emily and I are planning on working on the graphics to redesign the entire Brendan Fletcher site. Once we have the images done for the layout, I plan on attacking the code once I’m home. That will be the trickiest one for me, since the main part of the site is run off Wordpress, and I haven’t done a layout for Wordpress before.

I have started recoding some of my older listings. I just finished the listing for Straight-Jacket this morning. The layout itself is the same, however I switched from old bloated tables to much nicer divs. I had forgotten how messy the coding was for my older fls—I definitely have gotten better at coding since then! I might not be great (yet, still learning!), but it’s a vast improvement over how I used to code.

I’m going to be going through all of my older listings as I can, recoding them, switching old tables over to divs, and just generally neatening any other excessive code I might have.

Brand new fanlisting! I just opened one for Dallas, Tx. I just got the approval in my inbox this morning, and I’ve already got it complete. I think that’s the fastest I’ve managed to get one up and running. I’ve had the idea for the design in mind since I applied, and it came together nicely in the creation phase.
