CMS

Serious progress? I made that impossible by suggesting it might happen didn't I?

I did force myself to make some actual progress on the CMS tonight, and have just finished implementing the SBuilder::PageType::Copy module. This is the simplest of the Page Types, and simply slurps a file and then returns it as a scalar, prints it to standard out, or to a file (either a default based on the database or a one specified as a parameter to the method). It doesn't do much but it does lay the groundwork for other modules (in that a number of the methods will be moved to a superclass).

Since the output can be to standard out or to a file, it makes it more convenient for use in a preview scenario (dynamically rendering resources while making edits with the CMS frontend).

My week without working on the CMS

Ah well, I did have an enjoyable week (after I'd sorted out the evil paperwork caused by one company sending me a nasty letter for not paying a bill they forgot to send me). A very enjoyable week as it happens, it even netted me a signed photo and a hug from the first actress I remember having a crush on (OK, so she hugged almost everybody at the open day, but it was still fun). How she puts up with geek fans I'll never know.
