I hate being sick. Ugh. And I should know not to push it when I’m sick, because I make mistakes. Case in point, I tried to update the comics last night and ended up messing something up and the database crashed. Granted, it was probably a program error, but I didn’t really check everything when I did it and just went to bed.

Of course, the sickies worked against me as I ended up deleting the scripts for these strips, and then re-did them only to leave them at my work. Migraines are inconducive to the creative process.

That said, we are pretty busy with a couple of other projects we’re working. One being the re-launch of Family Webcomics, which is going to be worlds better and easier-to-use than its predecessor. We have also been busy being interviewed for different media outlets, including the New York Times. One of our other sites is one for large families, and with the octuplet news, big families are in the spotlight again. This isn’t the first time we’ve been featured in a paper. I’ve been interviewed by the Chicago Sun-Times and our family was featured on CNN.com last year. And, as glamourous as that sounds, it really isn’t. 15 minutes…or more like 8 minutes. Plus, you don’t get anything out of it other than some appreciation. Oh well. Not to mention, they never mention Bitmap World, which would be way cool, but…oh well.

That said, the kids are on the mend, though I’m in the middle of that “feel better one day, feel worse the next” stage. Hoping this bug is beat soon. Still hoping to get the comic up on Friday, but you all know how that may go.

Oh, I am updating this entry to note that in Issue 248 that Char calls the Gigs DINKS. That is an acronym for “Double Income No Kids.” It’s basically used for couples who are both working and making good money and don’t have any kids. Thus, they are usually well off financially.
