Beaches and Boat Drinks

I finally cut the shackles of the cube and will be diving in the clear waters of the Caribbean for a week in Puerto Rico.

No WFRP. No Java. No blojsom. Maybe some twitter. Just a book about Agincourt, the battle, by Juliet Barker (good source material for a campaign in Bretonnia by the way), my wife and child and a lot of sun.

And boat drinks.

Recognize

Whoa. A post.

Well, seems my little corner of the web does get read. Chad Wattler, a host of Fear the Boot recognized my post where I call him out on the use of GM screens.

It made me smile. A lot. Chad is right, the post was both tongue-in-cheek and serious. I would not likely hit Chad, and going back to the original podcast, re-listening to it, I still think that Dan and Chad owe Chris Hussey an apology. Both of them were, as I said before, elitist asses, and I stand by what I wrote then.

I must not have too many hard feelings about Fear the Boot, I still listen to them and consider them the strongest of gaming shows online. Though the Podgecast gives them a good chase. Hey, three of the hosts of the Podgecast are FTB alums and the fourth was a guest! That's saying something about what they learned from Dan and crew.

Just what have I been up too?

Working. Coding. Thinking. Loving. Drinking.

Not necessarily in that order though. Or in equal quantities. Coding seems to have bubbled up to the surface.

I've started committing to the blojsom project. blojsom "is a full-featured, multi-user, multi-blog package written in Java. blojsom aims to retain simplicity in design while adding user flexibility in areas like back-end storage, flavors, templating, themes, and plugins."

I've followed the software for years and now committing fixes and enhancements. ACD is run atop it (along with Tomcat and Apache and Linux. Nothing a Microsoftie would enjoy.)

I'll post again shortly about another distraction I'm giving into, hardcore JavaScript, and how it's letting my play my games and share with other gamers.
