I've mostly had my head down doing work stuff and keeping out of trouble, recently. Not a great deal to report. Winter's been rolling in, so I've put up the heavy winter curtains again (thanks, Kat!). They're helping, but we've still had a fair number of sub-zero nights and not-much-better days of late. More soup is planned.
Some of my hobby time has been interesting of late. Though I didn't have the time to commit to any more significant role, I'm now a "junior game designer" in an indie game development project. Industry experience ranges across the board, but it's a pretty good bunch of people to work with and an impressive amount of creative talent in one place. I'm learning things and extending myself through said project in ways that benefit my other interests and potential career opportunities, and having fun at the same time. Strange how things like that can happen, sometimes. I shan't be performing any equine oral inspections about it, though.
Decided to get my MIDI keyboard out tonight and do a bit of musical dabbling. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be behaving at the moment. I'm hoping it's just the USB cable misbehaving, but I may need to borrow some nouse and a multimeter if that doesn't turn out to be the problem.

wolfwitch a lot recently. Well, I generally do but I guess with the season change it's hit me a bit harder of late. Talking via IM and seeing her semi-regularly on Skype helps, though it's not the same as being there. When things are bit less up in the air for us (there's a good chance she'll be moving city at some point, and I'd like to coincide with a conference somewhere to increase travel funding chances), I'm planning on going to visit for four weeks or so. Not that she isn't on my mind a lot of the time anyway, but I'm really looking forward to being in range for hugging, cooking, kisses and all those other good time-being-with-the-woman-you-love things. Or if you've got teleportation technology on the go, let us know okay?

I like the strange-yet-natural connections of this world at times :-)

(Skype is an absolute godsend -- the Gmail webcam portal is also good, although Skype seems to have a better screen-refresh rate. And that reminds me, I need to get Cav and Lucy a new webcam, because the Bean absconded with theirs and it has yet to be found!)
Good luck on the game design project ^__^

Indeed, the weave of the world warps and wefts in interesting ways.

(and has also made himself an in-house recording studio and likes nothing better than mucking around with things like MIDI, especially if it also includes hanging out with like-minded people. Besides which, he has a soundbeam - soundbeams are simple but cool!!!)
Er....what was I--?
Oh yeah, seriously though, if you can't sort it out, you can give him a bell.

And sound beams do sound pretty nifty, too...

The only reason we don't have the soundbeam is that we didn't know if we'd be allowed to bring it back with us (Florenci came over to NZ during that whole "AAAAARRRGGGHHH, terrorists! You can no longer bring anything on the plane" period, a couple of years back...). Da offered it to him, though!
We do have a theremin, however. :D

Re: Still working on the teleport stuff
I was midway through thinking "T-shirt!" when I got to the second part of your comment. :D
