Howdy peeps,
I've been neglecting my journal lately... I've been dragging pretty slow for most of this week.
I wrapped up Chapter 13, Programming, but I think I neglected some topics that I may have to go in and back-fill. I'll know more when I re-read it.
Up next, Chapter 14... ummm.. something to do with mechanical linkages and motion, or something. Should be fun!
I spent a couple of extremely frustrating days here at work feeling my way through the debugging environment and the driver framework that our stuff lives in.
The pace of development and debugging is very different from what I'm used to, and that caused a bunch of strain the first day. The second day I came back with a different expectation level and things went fairly well.
This feels like a transition period for my projects right now. I even dreamed about the Haunted Trails walkthrough that I'll be doing on the 16th... my brain is really beginning to gear up for Halloween already!
Which is rough, since I'm really not done a lot on the book. I'm not supposed to be transitioning until July, dang it!
But there are some new materials that I want to work with before then, for making body parts... so I'm doing my homework, lining up suppliers, and this weekend I'll be poking at my budget.
At work, I'm still transitioning from being clueless to having a clue. It will take longer than I'm used to before I ramp up to expert, though.
Oooh, an awesome thing happened last night!
I was at the Tai Chi studio practicing my short-stick weapon form and Lorna, from Eugene, was there signing up for classes! Woo! She was one of the teenagers that was attached to the piercing shop, and one of the niftier ones at that.
I was stunned, though. Critter (Chris) was (is?) in town, too. Now I wonder who else from the High Priestess contingent will appear next!
Anyway, it was cool.
