Funny how we never mention the really big things. I’m home from work today, so I can have the priviledge of getting six wisdom teeth removed. “Into each life a little rain must fall,” and all that. No word back yet from my Accountability testers. If I don’t hear anything more by the end of the week, I’m going to have to do a little prodding. ;-)

Sorry for not updating yesterday; I spent all day at work (11 hours), to make up for the photo shoot on Friday. So there’s really not much to report. Except that Sir Ian McKellen has been cast as Gandalf, and Ian Holm (great English actor, and the main priest Vito Cornelius in The Fifth Element) as Bilbo, in the upcoming Lord of the Rings movie. Great choices, IMO. I’m also just about ready to release […]

Nothing much has happened yet today. Lessee what else has gone on lately. Oh, I caught the film version of Starship Troopers a few days ago. I was somewhat surprised to find that it wasn’t as bad as I thought; there was a furor when it came out regarding its similarities to the novel it’s based on. It’s certainly nothing like the book, but it’s a decent action/adventure take on the story, […]

I spent much of the evening last night doing various errands, and to reward myself I sat down with a few manga at the local Barnes & Noble. For the uninformed, manga is a style of Japanese comic book that’s targetted at an adult audience — don’t be surprised to find nudity and rather gory […]

Had an interesting adventure yesterday. A photographer came in to take some photos of me for a magazine I’m doing an article for. So I thought, Sure, she’ll come in, stand me in front of a wall, take a few shots, and that’ll be it. My first clue was the two hours she expected to take in setting up. My second was when she showed up with an assistant. But that wasn’t enough. I looked at the four-foot-tall […]

You may have noticed that I redesigned my home page, adding some backgrounds and such. Hopefully the changes look a bit better. I plan to add a bit more of my stuff to the site in the near future. Accountability is getting testers for its first release. I’ve been playing around with the idea of using dates rather than version numbers for each release. Dates have the advantage of immediately telling you how old the software […]

No, I haven’t gotten Quake II yet — I don’t know how much I’d play it. I never really got into Quake. I don’t really play computer games much anymore, though I don’t really know why. I guess my life is full enough right now. I’ve spent some time browsing Elfwood recently. It’s an archive of work by amateur fantasy artists, and a lot of it is extremely […]

I think I’m going to have to visit the doctor. I only got an hour’s sleep last night, and I was awake up until I actually fell into Slumber-Land. Completely awake. Ugh. I feel OK at work today, but this has got to stop. On the plus side, I used some of my copious free time last night to finish off Accountability. I’m hoping to send out a request for testers today, so I can make sure […]
