So, the OddThinking Brewgle Meet-Up<\/a> isn’t the only deadline that I have missed.<\/p>\n

For a completely different set of reasons, I missed my self-imposed deadline for having a new photo database site up and running by January (with the photos migrated by February.)<\/p>\n

This post is nothing but excuses. If you don’t value excuses, but do value progress, move straight onto the next post. If you don’t value progress, but do value completeness, come back later – much later, because I still have a lot of work to do.<\/div>\n

My original deadline was chosen because I knew that late January to February was going to be a big month for photography and travel, when I attended a number of events. If the site was ready by then, I could put all the photos on the new site. If it wasn’t ready by then, then I would be too busy with the new photos (and the old and clumsy workflow) to work on it for a while.<\/p>\n

Sure enough, I missed the January deadline, which meant it had to wait until March; I have largely finished dealing with the metric-shedload of photos I have taken in the meantime. (This also explains the quiet period on OddThinking. I have observed several times before that my photography and my blogging both compete for the same attention budget. For the past seven weeks, photography has received the lion’s-share.)<\/p>\n
