There's quite a workload needing dealt with before the end of the month, and so I'm "getting my head down" both there and in my leisure time. The core elements of ...Stargazer Season FOUR are particularly time-consuming - and bloody frustrating a bit too -

...BOOM!- often. *sighs* I also have a bunch of stuff needing sorted out, such as a powered ( Read more... )

Sorry about yesterday, friends - this is the playtest weekend for Star Trek Online Season Seven, and I really wanted to get in my hour's play to qualify for goodies. And then there was my Saturday shopping trip to consider ( Read more... )

2500 posts? Wow.

Development News... Figured it was about time I did a report on my writing projects, and right now, I have broken ground on the next Secret Adventure of Mane-of-Night - which may not be the best idea, given that I already have something in progress, namely the next piece of the puzzle leading to WORLDS COLLIDEI'm really thinking a ( Read more... )

Oh-kaaay... Let's try it THIS way. Dunno if "going mobile" is HTML-friendly, but we'll soon see...

I may not have moved ahead with The Gap Year much, but the brain-cells ARE at work on this and other plans. I have addressed a long-standing boot issue, making a particularly problematic pair of zips far easier to operate, and that's a small victory ( Read more... )

Today, I have been:-

...considering which of my Mission 101 Tasks I can now declared completed, now that I'm on the eve of the start of The Last Week. I can now start drawing up the "win/loss" table, and get a ( Read more... )

I'm not sure it would have really counted as a *SCORE* for Mission 101 Task 74: See an orca on the wild, but I jumped at the chance to go to the harbour this morning and maybe catch a glimpse of a minke whale sighted there. Heh - some hope...

Still, it was a nice day - and Saturday looks like being much the same. Yay!

Meanwhile... Maybe a bit ( Read more... )

Oh fuck off, Apple. For the price of your latest toy, I could buy a new desktop PC and possibly a laptop - which will probably have the "lovely, shiny new" Windows 8 on it. That, clearly designed for the pea-brained ApplePhone market, looks like one of those old plastic telephones with big buttons that have pictures of animals on them - pick up the ( Read more... )

Development News... Today saw the almost-completion of Chapter 4 of the Traveller/Adventurers' Guild of Kraan crossover, and the (almost-)completion of a tricky, and wordy middle section. It's actually been worthwhile having the two "teams" sit down and chat, 'cause it's encouraged me to explore the existing story-material for these characters and ( Read more... )

Okay, I admit it - ya caught me watching Twilight. To be honest, it's not that bad - perhaps the movie is lacking several long soppy girly angst passages or something.

Gadget News... Just bought myself a digital dictation machine. Not exactly the most fun gadget around, but talking through storylines and plot threads does seem to be beneficial - ( Read more... )
