Just in case anybody was wondering why I haven't been around much lately...I have been dealing with some RL issues. My best friend's mother has been very ill lately and I have been spendng time with her and found out a few hours ago that she passed away. I've also been having some personal issues (got myself a concussion) and just feel crummy, tired and overwhelmed.

So, I hope everybody is behaving themselves and doing well.

I was bored yesterday and thought I'd take a stab at making a mini-map with a quest involving an NPC and monster kill... This is what I came up with (a huge download at 18.4 KB :P ):

So there is a discussion going on at my literature forum about swearing. Of course, like here, there are rules against posting swears, in addition to a software filter that catches the obvious culprits. Some people are completely against it, to the point of not finishing a book that has profanity in it and others are completely the opposite...not that they are pro-swearing but more that "those are just words, and any word could have the potential to be harmful..."

I am sort of on the fence about the issue. Excessive swearing makes me uncomfortable (especially sexually explicit terms) and also, when every other word out of someone's mouth is profanity it leaves me with the impression that they aren't too bright. However, in the right context and used minimally I am fine with it. I swear a little sometimes myself occasionaly...(shocking!) especially in traffic because I really hate to drive.

Dungeon Siege Dillon!

The resemblance is there, but my Dillon prefers wading in the lake over fighting Cyclops...

There are a few small problems with my template for Dillon, but as usual Charietto is my go to template guy and has kindly offered to help me. I have to send the template over to him pronto. Dillon is going to be a pack dog, rather than a party member "person" so unlike Toto, there will be no problems with armor meshes. *whew* That way, we can save ghastley from going nuts with tutorials.

The Welsh wizards descended on Glastonbury this year - turned out a really superb set, too :woot:

fantastic Super Furry Animals at Glasto - live

- find 'em in the list, down the side.. or something like that..
- but only if you're quick...

PS - hope the player works..

BTW - how is everyone..?? :woot:

Doubtless that everyone has heard of the Blu-ray player, which uses a blue laser for higher data storage amounts.

Now, I just read that manufacturers in Japan are trying to make ultraviolet laser players, for even more storage.....

If this keeps up, it will be like...

Gamma ray player: Warning, do not open while in operation.

*opens it*

*ZAPPPPPPPPP!*

*falls over*

Just a couple of pictures that I like.

Criminy, I have to post a minimum of ten words in a blog entry. This ought to do it...
