Saturday Morning Productivity

bjarvisI slept soundly and deeply last night, possibly the best night of sleep I've had in months, despite a brief nightmare which woke me up around 8 AM.
As mentioned previously, I've been having tremendous difficulty figuring out how precisely to craft the HTML code to allow payment via PayPal for online registration to the 2009 IAGSDC convention. Last night, IAGSDC webmaster![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
abqdan took pity on my incompetence and crafted the code for me, bless his heart! This morning, I created an event listing for the 2009 convention, plugged in his PayPal link code and all appears to be working smoothly.
Big thanks tomarkens who showed me some of his code and ohwolfman for pointing me to various resources... these helped a great deal.
I knowabqdan is working on a merchandise module currently; we'll soon be able to flog cheap crap sell convention memorabilia too. And when we have pre- & post-convention tours available, those will be added using the existing modules.
discord35 has been given admin access for our event listing in case I'm hit by a meteor or such; he'll also be able to update the online registration database for those who pre-registered via paper, although he can only do that for those already with profiles on the IAGSDC web site.
At the moment, I'm about 50% done a task listing and project plan (including staffing requirements) for my portion of on-site registration for the 2009 convention. I hope to have this finished and distributed to my other committee members before the weekend is over.
We've just received confirmation thatjustetthon will be teaching our Plus square dance class on Monday, August 20, while kent4str, cuyahogarvr and I are still in Canada attending my sister's wedding. Yay!
And yesterday evening,otterpop58 send confirmation of his flights in & out of DC for September when he will be staying chez nous for Andyrama, Sept. 22 & 23, 2007.
I still have some office-related stuff to tackle --composing an instruction sheet for how to put reboot jobs on ice via Autosys, as well as confirming the revised Autosys reboot schedule for our non-production servers-- but I'm already further ahead of schedule than I could have hoped.
I'm going to go see ifkent4str is awake yet, then cook up some chicken fingers for lunch.
