Paid. Maybe not as much as expected, mind, buuuuut still FOUR figures. Sweeeet.

Meanwhile... Oh dear. I'm almost at the end of the first month of the "Gap Year", and I really don't have much to show for it. A bit of materials acquisition, yes (not received as I write), but really very little in the way of planning; I think I need to use this month's report to re-evaluate how I intend to proceed. I clearly have the cash to make things happen, but what good is that if I have 1) bugger all planning and 2) bugger all motivation...?

At least that prototyping material is showing plenty of promise. It cuts, and carves really easily - way more easily than, oh, perhaps oak? We'll have to see. Now, can we perhaps do something about sorting out The Office? That's been on the cards these last two weekends, but nothing happened... *sighs*

I'd like to take a trip this Saturday, and maybe do some Christmas shopping, but come Sunday, maybe I need to stop waiting for things to happen, and... I dunno, make something happen? There's a desk going to be extracted from The Office soon, to be replaced by what I need, namely a desk just like the one I have at work, and there'll be painting to be done, hopefully soon.

Okay, that's a deal. Time to shift the desks around, and amalgamate some stuff for the minor upheaval ahead. Let's get that piece of the plan off my mind.

Update! Just arrived before dinner...!



And now comes the tricky part...

ITEM! I think last night's... high spirits were someone's birthday celebrations. Still probably a student brithday, so :P

ITEM! I'm commencing experimentation with The Foundry, the Star Trek Online player-created mission system. There are some useful videos for starters, and I'll be checking those out, probably this evening after the Mage-Poker in Ultima Online. At least I come to this with some experience of toolkits like this, from back in the Neverwinter Nights days... and I have a story-line. The mystery of VaaQ'tis will at last be unravelled...

More coverage at The Clan Tyran blog.

ITEM! Ooooh - a chance encounter with janitorial staff has provided me with some valuable test materials for the sole units of my Mission/Gap Year boots (Task 94)! I will be pushing ahead with this project as I assemble the rest of my materials - all I really need now is contiguous work-space, but that's the real "choke-point" for this one, given that we are STILL waiting for painters, let alone clearance to fit those fnajing new windows...

ITEM! One more day to pay-day! *drools*

Right, so I dropped a posting appointment...

However, there is a perfectly good reason. I believe I have just secured some important materials for Task 94
94- Make a PD-worthy pair of boots from scratch!
Now, the next stage is going to be the real fun part...
