Planning
The core Gameshelf crew had a Season 2 planning meeting last night, and it worked really well. Well enough that I'm not putting scare quotes around "Season 2" any more. (And, uh, those weren't scare quotes, right there. OK.) Director-Joe even said that he felt really good about things as he was putting his coat on, and as friendly as he is he also one of those hard-won-compliments guys, so that made me quite pleased.
To start, we're going to shoot the host segments for Episode 2.1, née Episode 5, at the end of this month. Due to the season-straddling nature of the footage it will actually be a transitory show, mixing our old sense of what-the-heck-are-we-doing with the more confident and original stride the show is walking into 2007 with. I think it will be a fun show just the same, and after that things should get really nifty.
Stay tuned. As it were.
I ordered a new battery for Whitey a few days ago. It's an off-brand model so it was only $100. I can't wait for it to show up, for it shall be my license to work in the Diesel again, for no matter how much the Diesel expands all of its power outlets are occupied by 7:35 and I still don't get up that early.
I like the Grand Prix café, which has been my substitute, but it's not noisy in the right ways. And its has logistical problems, like the fact that I literally cannot leave right now because the counter guy almost insists that you pay after you eat, but now there are about 87 Tufts kids knotted around the counter and I cannot give my money to anyone. Meh.
My ITA project actually works. Well, mostly. There's a major bit that doesn't work but I know why and it's just a matter of me getting to it, and it's something that I can address in parallel with t he whole application's initial betatesting. I'm doing documentation now, as a change of pace. Customer and I will be talking about testing and rollout tomorrow. Sweet.
