Dec. 1st, 2009 12:58 pmWell, I had a very nice holiday with my family. I made a point to spend a little extra time with my parents this year, as they're very close to closing on a winter place in Florida. I was more than a little cough-y by the end of the weekend, but nothing too terrible for this time of the year. Certainly I was in better shape than a week ago. My cough has subsided, leaving me with a case of sniffles and sneezing. Generally I'll take nasal problems over lung ones, especially if they're considerate enough to not drip down the back of my throat and make me cough, but not if I'm to the point of sneezing myself into exhaustion. That seems to be over, thankfully.
On the "good news" front -- Geeks.com is shipping out a replacement computer today. It's taken a while and there's still time for something to go wrong with the replacement, but I've looked at the model they're sending and it appears that they're doing right by me. The replacement model is not only more expensive than the one I ordered, but it approximates or exceeds all the technical specifications. Once I have a desktop computer I'm going to be doing some site work that's been piling up, including giving Fantasy In Miniature a bit of a makeover and folding 3 Seas and Tribe into its site. That's just a little thing that will help with branding, ease of maintenance, etc. I have recreational reasons for wanting a working desktop, too, but that's going to be my first priority.
I'm working on the next Tales of MU and MoarMU chapter. One or both of them should be done during the day tomorrow, I expect. The front half of the week's going to be quiet because I'm coming into it with a bit of an energy deficit but there should be some good stuff to read before it's over.
On the personal front, things are going well. My life is good and getting better.
I've broken out my Christmas icon. I'm not fully happy with it... I think I could do much better on the lettering... but it would take way too much time and effort to try to fix it on my netbook versus what I could do on a desktop with a big monitor and real mouse, so I think I'll wait until the new desktop arrives and then celebrate by breaking it in with a little icon editing.
