Blackmoor Vituperative

Well, my number of projects has diminished a bit. I finished seting up my new T5, I listed all of the crap I needed to list on eBay, and the game book I offered to lay out (for free, as a favor to a game publisher whose work I like) is going to be done by someone else because the folks to whom I made the offer have consistently refused to provide me all of the files I need to do the work. I have no idea why, but that’s their prerogative. If they want someone else to do it, so be it.

On the other hand, I am now going to be putting in a gravel driveway, by myself, so that’s a new project that will join the old. Oh, well. Here’s how the project scroreboard looks now, sorted roughly from most important to least important:

1. hang out with Susan a whole lot more
2. rack mead into secondary fermenter
3. Costume Shop
4. upgrade my home Linux server to Fedora Core 3
5. set up my Linux server as a DVR (probably with FreeVo, but MythTV is also a possibility)
6. frame out the borders of my new driveway
7. convert Rough Magic over to Hero System
8. finish painting the Cylon Raider I started painting back in 1998 or so

Still no news on the new job, though. I have been waiting for a definite offer since December of 2004, so it’s not like I am holding my breath.

I have too many projects. This has always been one of my greatest flaws: I take on more projects than I have the time (or discipline) to work on simultaneously. I plan to knock out at least two of these this weekend, which should put me in better shape.

1. rack mead into secondary fermenter
2. finish layout for a game book I’m doing as a favor
3. Costume Shop
4. upgrade my home Linux server to Fedora Core 3 (Core 4 is out soon, so I may just wait on that one)
5. set up my Linux server as a DVR (probably with FreeVo, but MythTV is also a possibility.
6. sell a huge pile of crap on eBay
7. convert Rough Magic over to Hero System
8. finish painting the Cylon Raider I started painting back in 1998 or so
9. hang out with Susan a whole lot more

Whew. All of this, and I hope to have a new job soon — one that will require a lot more of my time.
