Fixing my sequencing problem has created a pacing problem which is arguably a fair bit worse. I am loathe to revert to my pre-tinkering draft and so reintroduce the sequencing problem since, y'know, I fixed it, but it means the flesh-eating bacteria story is back to spending time in the backbrain. I could go back to the unnamed fantasy thing, but instead I think I'll use the free time on my brain for stuff like doing my taxes and taking one last look at the zombie thing (which my Rosleyian fellows have not yet gotten back to me on -- pokepokefriendlypoke) to try to make an objective assessment if, 1) it can be made any shorter/better, 2) if there's any actual markets out there for sexually-explicit zombie stories, and 3) if I'm in any willing to ever let the story actually see the light of day in the first place, and if so, under my own name or not.

However, at the moment I am at work and my lunchtime is now over, so instead I turn my head back to Perl and LDAP for the next many hours, which has its own challenges but has some real advantages over fiction.

Like, don't you wish you could start writing a story and just type "use strict" at the start, and then when you have a paragraph like:
Bob sat down on the couch, brushing aside crumpled popcorn bags and soda cups in a desperate attempt to find the remote.
...your story would suddenly say:

ERR: Function Bob terminated in paragraph 6. Either call new function or use resurrect()
