Yeah. heh.

So I ended up sleeping through the meteor/alien invasion event/god's own fart last night. Feh. I think it's somewhat become my lot in life to be unconscious every time a majore celestial whatsis occurs.

Other than that though, had a pretty good evening. Relaxed around the house, introduced m_cobweb to the kids, since she's doing kitten-duty for us while plaidbrat and i are down in Santa Cruz this weekend. Otherwise, played a bunch of FFIX (Yeah, dug that old beast out again)worked some on VISION stuff (yes, there should be a new system update before I leave town), and even found time to dork around with RPG Maker 2003. (It's a rather antiquated program for making your own console RPG games [very old school- think FF6 or chrono trigger for graphics])

Tonight's plans?

Laundry.
Find some books I haven't read yet.
Pack for California.
Do a little bit of touch-up to the paint in the baby room.
Work on the VISION stuff, get the improved/expanded skills system posted, and possibly combat, if I work on that enough while at the day job today.
Meet up with bloodengel to get the last of the pix from the Tormented Artifacts shoots.
Giving the kittens much luvvins before I leave for work tomorrow.

Anything I'm forgetting?

Filtration.

Right. Since my friends list has gone through some growth spurts of late, I figured I'd better do a post about this stuff again- especially since people don't always read/notice the things written on user info pages.

I post a lot about arts stuff and do even more shameless self promotions. i'm also involved in some oddball long-term projects. I tend to keep the majority of the posts about those projects on certain filters, just to keep people's eyeballs from hemorraghing when they just wanted to check up on me and see how I'm doing.

So, here's the filter list. Consider this your opportunity to speak up and say if you want to get put on any of these filters (yes, I automatically put some of you on some of these when I first added your journal).


70171- The electronica project I'm working on. Hell, I've even released an EP disc already. (the curious can check it out at ( http://store.mixonic.com/70171 ). Most of the big publicity posts and stuff are usually done on the main page. This is more for when i'm talking about working on individual tracks, or when I post any new sample uploads for listening to new stuff i'm working on.


Tormented Artifacts- This filter doesn't see much use at this point, largely because there's not much going on with it at this point. T/A is my own small business- comprised of maskmaking, gasmask art, propmaking, as well as rubber fetishgear/accessories. Warning- when I do post on this filter, I usually post pictures. Nothing that isn't worksafe, but it will eat your bandwidth for breakfast.


VISION- VISION is a psychological horror/fantasy RPG that I'm working on designing. Posts are usually diary entries from characters to give background on the game world ingeneral, or posts with the detailed system rules for actually playing the game. I don't make these posts public for several reasons:
1- I'm not going to make people sit through 3-4 versions of the character generation rule systems unless they actually want to.

2- Security/Copyright protection. It's not that I'm worried about someone snagging this stuff so much as I just don't want to leave the opportunity for it to happen.


Anyways, if you want onto (or off of) any of these filters, just reply on this and let me know.

Annoying.

Unless someone's got $300 bucks they want to loan me, or a copy and free license for a full version of Adobe Acrobat or Illustrator, I need a rather odd program.

Something that can build multi-page PDFs, Handle page layout (two column in some places, single in others), import graphics into pages with no issue. Feh. Preferably free, considering my current cash situation.

Bleh.
