Had to deal with some emergencies and a trip out of town this past week to pick up supplies. I did manage to pick up some new styrene so I'll get that sorted out soon. (I may have to charge a bit more for styrene in the future--they jacked up the price per sheet quite a bit. Though I probably won't change the actual price of the sheets I offer-- ( Read more... )

Hoo boy. In another three weeks, we might actually get above freezing. The Polar Vortex needs to f--- off, or to go fight Sharknado or something ( Read more... )

I was trapped in a work cocoon for the past week or so. Am trying to catch up on my sleep and email.

I was so busy that I haven't posted pics of what I did over Xmas vacation while I was away from home:

Sorry I fell off the grid for awhile. I went down to the Cities to work on a few projects for friends just before the holidays. (I also managed to get some clerical/office-y stuff done while at my parents' house, which should free up time for me later on ( Read more... )

I've just been trying to finish up five things at once (and things were extra busy at work thanks to a huge influx of Things That Needed Zippers Put On Them.) I've finally gotten around to finding and reposting an old article of mine:

The Not So Grand List Of Overused Fantasy Cliches Considered it a bit of an Old Shame, since it's pretty much ( Read more... )

I finally figured out how to get Mozilla Thunderbird to work with my ISP smtp settings. I don't know why I didn't do this five years ago when I moved here. Just lazy I guess (or I googled the wrong answer to my problem and assumed I had no other options ( Read more... )

I'm hoping my website doesn't go down. (I'm currently in the process of renewing my webspace, so if the site vanishes, it should only be a temporary thing until I get this sorted out ( Read more... )

Hiyo! I did manage to make it down to Metacon this past weekend. It was a good thing I did since Lewis needed a little extra help with his live show and with lugging stuff to the Dealer's Room and back. (It was nice of the convention to give him a hotel room so we could store our stuff. That made things a little easier ( Read more... )

Hard drive died today. I was fortunate that I had just made a backup of my files, but I lost a day of e-mails. (I might be able to find them if I can crack into the dead harddrive. But I need some sleep first.) Spent all day getting a new harddrive and then setting my computer and just the bare minimum of programs back up. It's been so long since I ( Read more... )

Yes, I'm still alive. Been a rough July. Had two major armor suit projects to finish and my computer and car kept dying on me. Had to get a fuel injector in my car replaced, then a coolant hose broke, and now the "Service Engine Now" light is on. I'm not sure what it expects me to do about it since I had to buy not one, but TWO video cards recently ( Read more... )
