Thoughts on MS Office
Tuesday, 13 April 2010 18:24
I've recently switched back to Microsoft Office from OpenOffice.Org. At least for a little while while I'm looking for a job. I gave up on Office somewhere during my final semester at university in 2006 because Office 2003 was too buggy and kept corrupting and losing my research. I was ready to go postal.

Crying doesn't indicate that you're weak. Since birth, it has always been a sign that you're alive.

A question for creative geniuses
Thursday, 11 March 2010 19:05
How do you manage your stuff? The materiel and ofal of your craft? Do they overrun your space, or do you keep it controlled? Do you have a studio or dedicated space for it all? I'm struggling with the trappings of my passions and need some help.
Must a creative life entail a massing of stuffs? Is it possible to nourish the creative mind and body while maintaining a strict level of detritus? To cleanse my living space, must I curtail my creative efforts? There must be a way.
Perhaps asking myself the hard questions. Making choices about what is appropriate to indulge. The list of things postponed will forever outrun me.
The only course I see is one of limitation and restraint. I've had enough of that for one lifetime. No, perhaps its more a focusing. Again: the hard questions.
So I ask you, dear reader, how do you manage the clutter of your craft?

Faux Bone RPG Dice Set
Friday, 08 January 2010 15:25
I've started playing D&D again, and in doing so I've learned to embrace my inner nerd once again.
So in my obsession with steampunk, the anacronistic, dirty, and slightly evil, I decided to create my own set of bones. Part of this quest involved finding a non Arabic numeral system that I could hand etch or ink onto the faces of an icosahedron (d20). Roman numerals are too big for 18 & 19 (XVIII & XIIX), so I chose the Mayan numeral system which is base 20. I think I'll do away with the Roman numerals entirely on the next set and use just Mayan. And instead of inking the numerals I'll try to etch them. For those who are curious, bars = 5 and dots = 1; numerals are constructed virtically, with bars at the base.
