Well, the refreshed system is mostly behaving nicely – most of my applications came back with no (or minimal) hiccups once I had the right things installed. I have two irritations: the online game I play for relaxation (an all-ages MMORPG called Wizard101) has acquired an annoying red overlay on some of the objects which Read More…

I’m more or less back after needing to rebuild my machine. Being a certified (or certifiable) geek, this meant a clean install of Ubuntu using the latest release (eye candy pretty, but it’s going to take a LONG to get used to close buttons on the left. At least let us customize that guys!). The Read More…

The end sequence of the current book has finally clarified itself. If I can make this work it’s going to be a wild ride. Hopefully also a funny one, although that will depend on just how things pan out once I get into the writing. There are going to be a lot of balls in Read More…

The day job continues feral, with a forecast of extreme feral for the next month or thereabouts (mostly courtesy customer schedules). This probably corresponds to a Kate-fried level permanently in the ‘illegal in 90% of the world’ range. Those who know what my sense of humor does when I’m that fried understand. We’re talking entendre Read More…

RavenCon was wonderful – I’m making plans to be back there next year. I also booked Philcon and Capclave for this year. With any luck I can build myself a circuit of conventions that are close enough to drive to and let me make a fool of myself in public often enough that people know Read More…

This has been a week of convention recovery: after getting back home from Lunacon on Monday, I’ve spent most of the time getting my brain working again. No new wordage, but I’m 3/4 of the way through a detailed pass on a novel – I LOVE my Kindle! Reading the piece on the kindle feels Read More…

Interesting week. On the work front, lurched straight into the next major project while doing cleanup and trying to track down a customer problem that so far hasn’t been reproduced in house from the previous projects. Also much meeping over the LunaCon program. It’s the best schedule I’ve ever had for a con, and I’m Read More…

Finished a chapter of the sequel to ConVent this week. Total wordage for the week about 1000, which when slipped between the chaos of a major release is pretty decent. Narcolepsy has been unfriendly – major release at work does that. My body objects to long days with intense concentration, and lets me know in Read More…

Progress of a sort – the sequel to ConVent is back on the active list, and words are being added. As always, snatching time in between everything else, which means that when work or home stuff goes insane, not much wordage happens. Big plus, hubby finally has a working computer again. We’ve also got a Read More…

Progress – a little writing happened this week. I’m skittering from one thing to another without really settling to anything, which would be worrying if I didn’t know exactly why it’s happening – hello work stress. Unfortunately, this doesn’t get me much in the way of progress on new books. Scheduling stuff – booked LunaCon. Read More…
