Mum's 65th is over. My B Cat course is over. GenCon is over. Benanna's wedding is over. Outlaws will be back to Cambodia soon. All the big things this summer needed to yield have done so. It's time for a new plan and this is it.
It's been a long time coming but I've finally got my sticky fingers on the Icar Elements book. The quality of the print is very high indeed. I think I need to improve the DPI on the pictures but the book itself rocks! 88 pages for £10 and then £3 postage and packing. Hurrah!
You can see on this one that my name is a bit too close to the bottom. Easy to fix.
I've been thinking about where we might take the next version of Lack-Of.

This is an explanation and a confession. For those that don't know, a Model View Controller is a software design pattern. It has there parts, a Model controls the data and logic, a View draws the data to the screen and a Controller links the two together.
It's no surprise that I've been up to my ears in Chom Isis. I've always found that setting myself a deadline has always been the best way to get something achieved.
I am getting stuck into that game that none of you had played before and never will (TGTNOYHPBANW). I'm writing this entry really as a public announcement such that I will bloody well get TGTNOYHPBANW up and running and into a Beta game. Please feel free to use this post as a reason to hassle me.
