There will be no updates during the day on New York Cowboy.org today as I am an Elections Inspector in Schyler Falls, NY and will be hard at work from 5:30 AM until 9:30 PM.
That said, there will be updates starting at 10:00 PM through mid-night on New York Cowboy.org, along with full coverage of the election, late Wednesday, along with Thursday and Friday. These updates will analyze the races.
This blog will also be more regularly updated in the next few weeks, with a particular emphasize on how New York will change with our new governor and how it effects us all, whether you live in a town with more cows then people and your neighboors bother you with their quads, or more people then cows and your neighboors bother you with their random gunfire.
Tonight I had some free time, and have been playing with updating and improving random things over at NYC. It seems that the RSS streams aren't working right (again), and for some reason I have a real craving for Technoraci, trackback urls, and tag clouds.
It's really a lot of work for a non-programmer like myself to try to implement such things. I often make mistakes, which screws up nearly everything. Yet, I also like my code as it's much simpler and faster to blog then those commerical blogging tools (basically you type what you want with a few simple tags—not all those wisbang tools like WordPress has).
Not to mention, WordPress's PHP does not mash at all well with my perl/mysql CGI code that makes everything from the blog to fodder to the bill tracker tick. Yes, there are plugins for everything but the bill tracker, but they all are more complicated then they are really worth. I'm looking a bit into Drupal, but I'm not sure if I really have the time to get beyond the learning curve with that software.
