How come it was cloudy and vaguely unpleasant looking while I walked to the train this morning, and is now sunny and bright and pleasant out there?

Oi, mr_wombat. I think this design diary of Monte Cook's ties in to something you were saying a few days ago - about not letting one set of mechanics overcome another.

Ow, my head. A paper on Umberto Eco, which is having a fair go at doing my brain in altogether. I think I'll leave it for later.

Friday Afternoon Crawls

Friday afternoon is truly, truly crawling. I'm convinced that the Boss must be way heavier than he looks, because he brings relativistic time-dilation effects with him when he's in the country, as he has been for the latter half of this week. I've been fighting a continuous battle with XSL all afternoon, and been occasionally getting these pleasant little surprises as something I write works first time. I doubt I'll ever understand it the way I understand HTML, but then I have a... woah, more than a seven year head start with HTML.

We have an Age of Legends game tonight. Looking forward to that. And apart from a local parish sale of work, to which we might go if we can find it, there's nothing else between now and Sunday evening's Threshold of Ages game. Plenty of time in which to relax, write and plan game stuff, and take care of inannajones, because she has a cold, and in any case deserves good things and taking care of.
