Of Special Pages and Headaches

I sit here trying to finally write again, rubbing my eyes and clutching my forehead in pain. Migraine headaches. These are something common in my family. As they play such an important part in our lives, they make many appearances in episodes of Ni-Ki-Oh! and Isles of Fortune that I have written. In the lore of those stories, the migraine headache, put in other terms, is similar to the id of the psyche becoming unsettled by immediate events and taking out its apprehensions on its host in the form of pain, the hope being that perhaps, the host might be temporarily weakened enough by the pain, to allow the id total control.
In terms of progress, there's not much. I started trying to expand the versioning system in VaultWiki, but that proved to be a tremendous feat. In the mean time, I decided to create a Special page that actually gives useful instructions on using various Wiki codes (the BB-Codes used in Wiki articles). Since I always love the idea of writing docs and never the act of doing so, this is very slow going. While all the code is in place to dynamically generate the page, the page is completely blank.
I finally decided to make some members happy and turn of the "We miss you" reminders. However, the original purpose of this message was to keep our staff from forgetting to do their jobs, by reminding them they needed to be on the site. As more members joined the site, the criteria by which the emails were sent to staff members needed to be refined. Essentially, if you are only in the Registered Users group, then you will not be receiving this email.
I know that originally this was set off by dehydration, '50s music, and becoming frustrated. So I'm gonna go drink copious amounts of water now, and hope this goes away by the time I wake up in the morning.
