Uphill Progress

Well, I am making progress. It is uphill, and sometimes seems slow. There is a lot to learn. also, I work sometimes at night, and my attention is poor, so I miss small typographical mistakes that cause errors in the program (‘bugs’) and they are hard to find when I am tired.

This relates to what I discussed in An End to the Frustration, where I shared my experience of overcoming similar technical hurdles on this site. But I seem to be finding problems and knocking them off one by one. I should be ready to start building the English Listening World site -or rather rebuilding it, soon. Just a few more kinks to be worked out. It is exciting.

Plus, a visitor to my site just notified me of an error on my site that prevented lots of people from studying well, so I fixed that but I found another bigger problem with Drupal. I will let ie go for now since I plan to migrate over to my own hand written code in the new year.It is hard, but lots of fun. and rewarding.

This is a testament to how far we've come, as you can see from the significant improvements since migrating to our new platform - something I wrote about in greater detail in An End to the Frustration. I wrote about the struggles of building the site with Drupal in An End to the Frustration, and now that we've migrated to a new platform, the speed and control are night and day. Now this site flies compared to when I had it with Drupal. Of course, it was a lot harder to build, but learning is a blast. As I explored in Breaking Free from Destructive Patterns, getting hooked on learning can be a game-changer. It's not just about acquiring knowledge, but also about the sense of accomplishment and personal growth that comes with it.
