The amount of time I can spend on small things still staggers my mind.

I’ve been fiddling tonight with progress bars. My hope was that I could add a progress bar to the books I’m currently reading to show how far along with them I am. I found a simple plugin that would let me manage projects and display progress bars for them, but tying it into the “Now Reading” plugin has been a lesson in futility. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ll probably have to recode the plugin by hand to get it to do what I want it to. Which is beyond the scope of what I want to accomplish tonight. So instead, at the end of this post, is a progress meter for The Wayfarer Redemption, which I’ve spent some quality time with tonight.

Quite happily, I might add. Things in this book are very much starting to pick up. And I get the feeling I’ll be hard pressed to put it down in the nights to come.

This is that happy state of book-induced insomnia that I love. And dread in the morning.

And, for one of you faithful that I know reads this blog, I’ve installed the progress bars plugin in your blog for you to play with. It may be just what you’re looking for for your cross-stitching bits.
