OMG! Say goodbye to November, ‘cuz I went and did it. I signed up to participate in NanoWrimo this year. A crazy typefest where one tries to write a 50K word novel (first -very rough- draft) before the end of the month. I’ve had a project lolling around in the back of my head for quite some time, so I figured this would be a great opportunity to completely massacre it – I mean work on it and actually get something produced besides vague ideas in my head. It’s time to put pen … Continue reading
Ugh! Had a hard drive crash late Friday night, so I spent most of the weekend rebuilding my system. It wasn’t obvious that it was a HD failure either – the error after the BSOD implicated the video card, so I replaced that first, and no dice. So I swapped in a “known good” HD from another PC and voila it booted up just fine. So I went and got another HD and (finally) stepped up to Vista from XP Pro. Everything seems to be running OK so far. One lucky … Continue reading
So I dropped all of my other subscriptions for now and have just been playing DDO for a bit. I even ended up subscribing just so I could get access to all of the content – which you don’t get if you’re just doing the “Free to Play” version of the game.

So much so that I’ve actually cancelled all of my monthly subscriptions for now (!) – I never thought that day would come, LOL. Anyways, I have been playing a bit of DDO when I can find a spare minute here and there. Other than that, I’ve been taking a class or two, doing some writing, and even a bit of … Continue reading
It was a mostly uneventful weekend. Did some chores, read a few things, played some DDO, and attended a tarot workshop. In DDO, I did re-roll my cleric. The one I had been using was one I had tried to build myself, and she didn’t seem to be working out too well. So I derezed her and rolled one up using the prefigured “battle cleric” or some-such. And this one is working out MUCH better for some reason. I also goofed around for a bit on my Pally. I’ve tested him … Continue reading
