\"Mad<\/a><\/p>\n

I haven’t posted for a few days and doubt I’ll get to anything before Monday, June 1st. I’m on deadline to get two of the magazines up and live by June 1st (SFRevu and Gumshoe Review). So things always get a bit hectic at this time of the month.<\/p>\n

What’s making things even more chaotic than usual is that we moved the magazines from one host to another. That necessitated repointing the DNS (Domain Name Server) and that takes several hours to a day or two to percolate throughout the world’s internet system (very general and not completely accurate but you get the idea).<\/p>\n

To make the switch we had to disable administrative functions. Basically, that means that while readers could go to the sites and read the May issue, I (and the other staff) couldn’t enter books, paste in reviews, edit\/proof, write material…. In short about a week and a half of work has to be done in the six days before the end of the month. But wait there’s more … the usual six day’s of work also has to be done.<\/p>\n

So now I’m down to two days left and about 5 days of work to do. I think I’m going to need a few gallons of caffeine to get me through the run up to our June issues.<\/p>\n

So, thanks for dropping in but there probably won’t be anything new here until Monday….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
