Saw a concert of bands from Songfight.org, including my little brother (Brother Machine on songfight, though I think there's another band with the same name). Good weekend with Raven last weekend. Went to my first Black Sheets. Seeing LotR:RotK tonight. Considering writing some MUD design articles -- no money, but a site with reallyreally good game design stuff, so it's prestigious. Still writing down column ideas to make sure I have enough to do one-a-week for at least a few months. Been releasing good stuff for Phantasmal (my MUD library) and making big architectural changes. Been getting stuff done at work, including a big release that happened a short time ago.

Hot tub & truck still not fixed. Both have parts on backorder, though of course different parts for each.

Met a few cool people, none of whom I've had time to talk to properly. Again, that "everything is rushed" thing.

I'm in TX from Christmas Day to New Year's Day. If I ignore you in that time, it's not because I hate you, and it's not because I'm having a better time than you are.

None of this will get written down really properly, 'cause I don't have time right now and other stuff will happen to me later :-)

Let me just express my predictable jealousy that you have a chance to write a weekly column. I would LOVE that.

They're looking for columnists, or will be in the coming year. It pays (literally) nothing, though, and is on the topic of game design.

If you're interested, check out "http://www.skotos.net/articles/". Prob'ly not your cuppa tea, though.

Yeah, I'm not remotely qualified to write about game design. Free is not a problem for me, though. I should keep an eye out for a website with similar requirements but a different focus.

Texas

If you feel a burning need to get away from the family, I am in Houston from the evening of the 21st through the morning of the 29th. Gonna be hangin with family and friends, but in the evenings to nights probably friends. I'll have my cell.

I'll keep it in mind. Thanks!

TX == Austin?

[angelbob.livejournal.com]

Huntsville, mostly. I'll probably be in Austin briefly.

It's Worth Mentioning

Two things, actually: There's a wireless hub in a public place in Huntsville now. This means you don't have to feel completely cut off from "that inter-whatsit."
And Camfield's around, as will be Kayvan and ChloeB. I've got contact stuff for two of the three of 'em. Just so's you know.
