I must actually be busy, since I still owe jessica a bleme* - the only situation more dire is that my new aggregator doesn't parse my own previous post because of an em-dash
shortly, I will be very unbusy, all the way until Icon, which in some ways is awesome and in some ways not
actual blog worthy events have included:
- a 1Gb flash drive, shiny!
- oh, and, like a birthday party which conspired to assist the delivery thereof :-D
- 25% hosting a 100% rocking party
- rules for said party games, which (did I mention this?) rocked
- 66.6% freaked out by Obs weirdos
- lucas' games dayHHH afternHHHHHH late time period
- photos and stuff will be uploaded, eventually, somewhere - possibly flickr since the CLAWsite? should eventually be upgraded**
the soup did not come in bite size chunks***, but my brief opinion is that blogs-as-personal-diaries have already happened - their increase in popularity is riding on the coattails of blogs as feeds for other things (application news, writing books, opinion - and InstaPundit is so off my feedroll as of today: too much, too brief, too right wing)
so anyway, the Icon tidbits I have are:
- I'm having a braai on Friday evening, I don't know what my email access is going to be like from tomorrow, so sms/phone if you need directions
- nenad recommends the age restricted module, and wrote one himself (InSpectres? adapted to d20)
- william and bronwen from durbs wrote the kiddies d20 module; and y'all know perry, who also wrote a module
- william was one of the writers of Shadowplay, a LARP which I playtested while exiled in durbs - I would recommend it more strongly if playing in it didn't clash with the braai ;)
see you all then, or after
* because it's /not/ a meme - if you know what a meme is, you get confused when you hear about blemes - silly bloggers can't appropriate jargon that's still fermenting outside public conciousness (this neologism coined by john m the elder)
and yeah, like everyone else I thought blemes were silly until I was pinged, so I'll get round to it, like everything else
** in the end, the
CLAWsite? will host a little and aggregate a lot of
CLAWs-relevant content - I may be biased in my take on where
web design is going
*** and one of the things I'll get round to is just damn well reading, whole paragraphs at a time, without links, even
