My initial assumptions of posting once a day led me to a too-simple structure of each post being on its own line for that day, but as posts bunch up, I needed to get a little smarter. I had to add columns to track the number of posts per day, I found bugs in my code counting drafts and completed posts, and I persistently was getting a count too high in one area &#8211; because I\u2019d mis-entered a date.<\/p>\n<p>Now I\u2019ve got a better picture, and you can see above the struggle, the dips where I forgot to post, and my razor-thin buffer. I\u2019ve got so much writing to do, I wish there was an easy way to quickly add a new post &#8211; oh, snap.<\/p>\n<p>So here\u2019s your self-fulfilling post for the day. Reminds me of one of the books on my enormous pile, \u201cThis Book Needs No Title\u201d by Raymond Smullyan, filled with bon mots like \u201cPeople say I don\u2019t worry enough. That\u2019s always worried me.\u201d That\u2019s because this is a post that, in a sense, needs itself &#8211; this post fills the hole in my buffer that this post detected.<\/p>\n<p>How meta.<\/p>\n<p>-the Centaur<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Refining my spreadsheet for tracking my posting has taken time.
