Taking a critical look at market and technology development around the enterprise space.


ellementK: (ĕll'ǝ-mǝnt-kā) noun - A fundamental, essential, or irreducible constituent of a composite entity. Middle English, from Old French, from Latin elementum. In this case, also related to the modern French mentir, to lie. (adapted from Dictionary.com)


About Eleanor Kruszewski: I'm known variously as Eleanor or Elle. My last name is like that coach from Duke - kru-shef-ski.

Based in Menlo Park, CA, I work for Yahoo! in their Developer Network. The easiest description of what I do is the MBA shin kicker, handling community, marketing, commercial programs and sundry backend stuff.

Disclaimer: I've done big corps, midcorps, and startups, so I overstate and oversimplify as much as anyone else. These opinions are my own, not my employer's.

Never do server admin before coffee

Tee hee. Who says my blog’s not a place where I whisper breathless confessions!

This AM I decided I was going to play with WebCalendar, which supposedly synchs to Palm and outputs to iCal - which would theoretically emit a scriptable stream so y’all can see what I’ve found without me doing work (I love you but remain lazy).

But I did a ../ when I just meant / and things got overwritten. Like my index file, and who knows what else. An older one is in place, but I do wonder if I have a backup. Hmm… I wonder. That brings up a good point: I wonder what else got deleted. Hmm…

The good thing about early adventures like this is it’s just academic now. I say “Fascinating, look at that.” Later in the day I’d be grinding my teeth!

Anyhow, it’s probably best to have a blackscreen day and just hack on stuff. My css could use some work, maybe to highlight quoted text in blockquote. And while I’m at I might play with some of the stuff Jonas has done in implementing “tag this” stuff. Because then I can tag things after the fact (bc I always forget) without doing a full on re-edit.

It’s been a while since I’ve checked out new plugins and stuff over at Wordpress.

And of course, once my calendar data can zip from app to app, I’ll have to code up something to extract upcoming events for display.

So yeah, stuff will be broken today. And if I don’t fix it today, it’ll be broken tomorrow too. Mike is going to Finland and I am going to Napa. But we’ll see what we can get done before then. (haha, that’s the royal “we” there. I have to code my way out of my own mess. I just meant it’ll be total chaos tonight.)
