1. I am vaguely alive, but have been either drowning in work or (?!?!) sick for three weeks. Advice: do not be sick for three weeks
2. Besides signing up for FFFX, I have nae touched Dreamwidth or much of anything fandom besides helping with administrative stuff; I owe people some catchup and mail and hopefully will do so nearer to Yuletide nominations!
3. Because sickness and confused brain chemistry combined = ???, I shoved some SQL together to make the automagic app capable of grouping by fandom across all scraped exchanges. That was a fun but mentally ! Sunday afternoon. And since, yay, real DB, it's now perfectly extensible; I've already shoved username grouping in, but it'll be interesting to see how other groupings will work.*


*It won't, for the same reason AO3 is mostly broken; tags are inconsistent and I sure as hell ain't synning anything for this DB. But it's nice to think that in theory it could.

How are you all?

A universe of unmapped grief and love
And new master light is beyond
The pleiades and plow and southern stars.

O soaring
Icarus of outworld, burn bright
The traceries of known skymarks,
Slide the highway planets behind
Your clear waxed wings.

Go conquer the everywhere left
Beyond your sad confinement
In a predicted bonehouse,
Witch thrown riddle of flesh
And water.

O soar until nothing
remains but great glittering holes
In the black godspun shirt over your head.
