Ca-Clapski

Posted on 16 April 2008

I finally watched The Last Mimsy last night, a family film of sorts with a fantasy time travel element.  John Cross, who wrote the Temporal Anomalies page on The Final Countdown, had approached me about doing another page addressing the anomalies in this one, and has since been waiting somewhat anxiously for an opportunity to [...]

Not a Milestone

Posted on 15 April 2008

Not every day can be a milestone.  In the past week I’ve seen two books finalized and made available for purchase–Faith and Gaming yesterday and Game Ideas Unlimited Volume 1 over the weekend.  I have done a bit of announcing of these books here and there, although there are probably a few more places where [...]

Saved Some Travel Time

Posted on 14 April 2008

At the end of last week I received word that someone about two hours away needed a ride here by midweek, and it was agreed that I would pick him up on Monday, that is, today, after taking care of my mother-in-law’s shopping trip.  To some degree I scrambled my day, so that I could [...]

Old Ideas New

Posted on 13 April 2008

I have just come from the directors meeting, where it was agreed to release Game Ideas Unlimited Volume 1 at the price of $18.95.  You can view and purchase it at the new CafePress storefront created specifically to host these books.  The plan is to have some in hand at Ubercon, although of course with [...]

Formatted Documents Ported

Posted on 11 April 2008

You probably have to be a geek to laugh at the title of this blog entry; that’s all right, because I had to be a geek to think it was clever.
As of last night, the PDF (Portable Document Format) files for the new books, Game Ideas Unlimited Volume 1 and Faith and Gaming, were completed [...]

On Various Fronts

Posted on 10 April 2008

Although I cannot claim much progress yesterday, I can mention that there is progress happening.  The cover for the first Game Ideas Unlimited book has already been uploaded, apart from the spine which I am assured will be simple once the text is uploaded.  I’ve received some rather promising drafts of a cover for the [...]

Inching Forward

Posted on 09 April 2008

I have gotten a bit closer to the goal of releasing Game Ideas Unlimited in time for Ubercon X.  This afternoon in a few stolen minutes I managed to work through a few more of the hoops in the software interaction between the two programs.  I am not yet there, but if tonight’s game does [...]

As Far as Six Thirty-One

Posted on 08 April 2008

I suppose it was a sort of accomplishment.
I finished my scheduled Monday work last night, signing out from posting to the Corinthians list just as my wife finished hers and arrived home.  We were both dealing with those last-thing-before-bed things when the phone rang, and our son wanted to come home from his work address.  [...]

Software Acrobatics

Posted on 07 April 2008

I’m still working on those two books, Faith and Gaming and Game Ideas Unlimited Volume 1.  The problem presently is that the new Adobe Acrobat program, while it probably works much better than the one I was using, does not work the same as the one I was using, and I’ve not been able to [...]

The Hour Not Lost

Posted on 06 April 2008

I awoke today and looked at the bedside clock, the one with numbers large enough that even I can read it without my glasses, as long as I’m somewhere on the bed.  It told me that there wasn’t much time before my wife would be getting ready for work, so I’d better hurry if I [...]
