Something is wrong with my computer. Sure, I only paid $500 for it (I'm cheap, so sue me), so I don't expect all that much from it. But it's taken to rebooting at random times, without even decency to throw up a blue-screen. It went down six times Wednesday as I was trying to wrap up Chapter 9... I was about ready to burst a gasket.
Damned machines.
Work has been fairly busy this week, what with testing and some of the research and documentation I've been doing. Seems there are some gaping holes in our design documents, and I've taken it upon myself to try to close them.
After all, I'm a world-renowned technical author, aren't I?
This, of course, leaves less room for Journaling, but that's the way the cookie crumbles.
I do need to poke my nose in hear more often, though. Yesterday I had this thought, "I need to put that in the journal." Today, I've forgotten it. My mind certainly isn't what it used to be, if it ever was.
It does look like I'll FINALLY be able to finish chapter 9 today, though, and send it off tomorrow. Chapter 10 is easier, it covers electronics again. Chapter 9 is up go 25 figures, which is a LOT if you consider how much time it takes to create them! The LEGO CAD programs, MLCad and LPub, are *great*, but it still takes time.
Oooh, did I mention that I'm director of Haunted Trails this year? Maybe that is what I was forgetting... I could go back an d check to see if I wrote about that yet, but heck, I never read what I write if I can help it. Just like I don't like to see myself on video.
Anyway, I'm director of Haunted Trails 2004 (official food: Cheesy Poofs). It should be a blast, and this trail should be the most intense yet. I expect to get complaints, in fact.
I won't put the theme up here, in a public place, because I have some vague hope of having some surprises and twists in it that would be spoiled by people reading about it here.
Just thinking about it all gets me all excited again. Woo!
