Head Asplode
Busy busy busy. I reformatted my laptop, which required a lot of backup work. I also installed Windows and Boot Camp for some game stuff (making more than playing, but whatev). Over the weekend my net was down while I waited for Comcast to come back and reinstall service (Catherine had to cancel it when she left), but that happened today, so I'm back. Today/last night while doing reformatting stuffs, I also set up my new projector and audio system. I've also been cleaning and retooling the place since Catherine left in preparation for Kevin's move-in.
I still have more housekeeping items to take care of, like my broken Rock Band guitar and adapter needed for my Xbox to connect to the new projector. I'm looking forward to having some Rock Band or movie night parties soon while I have the room.
Now that most of that stuff is taken care of, I can get back to other work. I've been working on a new web service called Scriptlets, which is meant to be a part of the web hooks ecosystem. I've been getting behind writing about web hooks, as well as retooling my presentation for ... shit, next week. I've gotten a lot of useful feedback, which I think will help a lot in making this massive talk less unwieldy and more comprehensible.
The talk is at Pivotal Labs, which should be recorded, so that's a big deal. It's also practice for my talk at a conference next month in Denver called Glue. After Denver, I'll be visiting Montreal as my first time in Canada. That should be fun.
But I've been spending a lot of money and not working on much paid work. And I think I owe more than I thought on taxes, so there goes my savings I had finally gotten growing. I wish I had more time to work. I've been playing with doing other contract work, more short-term stuff that has more urgency and less massive complexity. We'll see how that goes.
There's a lot of other stuff pending that I need to take care of, but I just can't right now. Although I should make room to finish shipping some stuff on TIGdb I started a couple weeks ago. Especially since we have Christpher Lobay with us now working on it.
Anyway, I'm sure there's more (like the game I've started talking to some people about, or Get Achievements, or ongoing SHDH and Hacker Dojo stuff, or the music I want to record, or the indie games BarCamp I've somewhat committed to make happen, etc). I wish I didn't care so much about so much. :\
