I refer of course to the character generator, which if you want to play around with it, is here. And not only that, ho no! The browser seems to work as well, right here. Of course there's only a couple of characters I've put in there thus far, but it works. It's a little different then I wanted, mainly in that you have to select which set of rules you want and you just see those characters rather then all characters but the ones you didn't want. And of course it doesn't have the fancy smancy search the other one had, but at least this one works and looks better then the old one did. A couple more little things to tweak and I'll let the rest of the gang take a look. Not that I'll get any feedback, Sean sent out the rough draft of the book and only one other person but me actually read through it and made a bunch of corrections. Lazy bums.

 

There was work today as well? Indeed! The Mac I didn't quite get finished with, but that I attribute more to the lady being 15 minutes late then anything else. Also copying from her old HD was just taking way longer then I expected. So I have to go back and finish up. I called her tonight but got no answer.

 

Then Tamara in to have blood drawn. Which she does NOT like. In the least. No. I heard her mowling and hissing from the back rooms they were using. But of course they carry her out and she's all like, "oh, did something happen?".

 

Ate lunch. Exit 4 off 490? ugh. I'd been there not long ago, but her system wasn't turning on again. I replaced the power supply and maybe that'll do it. Came home, did the aforementioned work on the generator/browser, and went out again. As I suspected, it was some cruddy early gen P4, pretty bottom barrel. She got a nice monitor though. Too bad the video card isn't good enough to dive the full resolution. Reminded me of home though, well, mom's house anyway. She has the most cats of any customer I've seen. 

 

Just in time to eat a bit of dinner did I return home, then to calls. Or two calls. So I have the morning booked for tomorrow. Shouldn't be too bad, I think.

 

I heard a radio ad, the Main Street Electrical Parade is coming back to Disney! I can still sing the music to that. Almost worth driving down there myself for three days just to see it again. It was pretty wild. (and the rest of the park, of course, not that'll it'll be the same without Mr. Toad, Captain Eo, and the Peoplemover.) And I bet if they've switched over to brighter LEDs (it's been, what, 20 years?) it'll be even more spectacular.  *sigh* Not to worry, no vacation for me again this year.

 

 

But hey, next week I'll have gone three years without advertising. Wild.

 

Well, did L4D2 last night, perhaps more online phun will be had tonight? Otherwise I'll just put some more characters through the generator and see what other things I might want to move around. Or maybe darkSector.

 

Probably darkSector.
