Electric Company & Water Works

Today has been a utilitarian day. A sense of nothing actually achieved, no new challenges met, no new mountains climbed. (Clumb...?!)

Lots of research into affiliate schemes and generating deep links for bands and music albums with a view to monetizing the AltNation Guide. And plenty of line-by-line hand checking of code for any poorly optimised sections, trying to reduce the load on the server, optimise the pages and just speed the silly thing up a bit. Investigating Facebook Platform for the possibility of writing my own application there was an interesting distraction though.

There's also some nice (handy) new features waiting in the wings to be switched on as soon as I upgrade - full integration with the vBulletin forums and threads as well as improved filtering for viewing only the type of events you want and hiding the rest.

I did however receive delivery of a new camera to try and rekindle my snapshot enthusiasm. I got bored with it after five minutes.
