Yet another day where there’s nothing done… I’ve been a bit behind - partly because of the SOP site design, but also because my sleep cycle has kind of flipped around. I’m now sleeping during the day, and working at night. It’s easier because the day is quiet. Yeah, if that makes sense to you… well, you’re one up on me.

Anyway, I’ve also been spending some time away from the computer. Stacey Gordon is running a photo competition for her puppets - and since I bought a choc chip cookie finger puppet from her last year at the National Puppetry Festival I thought I’d enter. I’d already seen an entry, and knew the competition would be fierce. So I’ve come up with a pretty neat idea - no hints! - but it’s taking longer than I thought. I hope to finish it over the weekend, but I won’t post it on the site until I’ve sent the pic to Stacey. There’s a detail or two I want to confirm with her first.

Follow up:

I can say though, that I’m liking what I’ve come up with, and I’ll be spending a lot of time getting some good shots. Here’s Stacey’s promo pic for the puppet; that’ll give you an idea as to what I’m working with.

To be honest, it’s kind of nice to sit down and work on something artistic that’s not going to be sold to anyone. It’s also a good mental break from coding, which is doing my head in. (The links page on SOP is still giving me problems. I just can’t get a two column template to work, and allow the links to show grouped by category. I’m working on a solution at the moment, but it’s not quite right and very buggy)

If I have this photo done by the end of tomorrow night, I’ll post it over the weekend.
