Oops. Been a while. I've been crashing early most nights, which doesn't help with Getting Things Done.
Since Sunday it's been a time of recovery from the misery of losing a friend, and somewhat frantic preparation for Orycon. I think I'm finally back up to a reasonably positive mood. We went out for Chinese on Sunday; my fortune cookie said: "You will enjoy doing something different this coming weekend". Well, yeah. It's rare for them to be that accurate.
In a little over four hours we'll be taking off for Portland. Saturday will be frantic, but apart from that I'll have lots of time for conversations, which is what I really love about conventions these days.
Lots of links, as you might expect in a four-day catchup post.
