I have been doing a bit of database work for the first time for ages, working on parsing the text file that holds the current Strange Horizons data into a sensible database format. It's fiddlier than one might hope, but I'm getting there. I also am finally starting to get the hang of doing things in mySql, even if I do constantly run up against useful things that just aren't there, plus the expected number of things which have different names than they do in SQL server. I still might be going to write a new website for the magazine, which would be pretty interesting if it comes off - I hope it does, I like coding projects :)

Oh hey, that's awesome!

It would be pretty cool - I hope it comes off, even if I won't have as much time to devote to it as I'd like (one of the main stumbling blocks, as it'll take a while if I'm doing it on weekends).

Yeah, a good framework can make things go so much faster, though.
