I've been catching up on correspondence a bit today. The Outlook setup I... setup... back in the Spring makes that a little easier, but unfortunately I didn't bring it with me. One more reason to look forward to the move.
The fundraiser is still going strong. The second week doldrums were a little scary, but I had a feeling that it would pick up momentum as we got closer to the end, but even though I predicted it I'm not entirely sure what the reason is. Possibly it's a bit of "nothing succeeds like success" and a bit of people thinking that if they want to get in on it then they're going to need to do so before it goes over the top.
Well, the structure of the IndieGoGo model is actually that the fundraiser stays active until the scheduled end date regardless of where the total is, so even if it goes over the total tomorrow, there will still be another month where people can claim new perks. There's no way to close it early. I'm not sure what I'll do about the buttons on the MU page in the increasingly likely event that the target is met before August 9th... take them down or leave them up for a "victory lap".
As previously stated, any money that goes past my moving needs will be used to help establish things in the new household. Since most of the money is coming from my readers and I've been going on about how this will improve my work situation, I'll focus first on things that will tie into that, like getting a decent desk (my current set-up in the attic uses a plastic green patio table). I'm hard-pressed to think of anything specifically work-related beyond that, though since I work from home anything that increases overall household convenience will help.
The State of the Me
Doing okay. The night before last was a delayed sleep night (more Due To Circumstances than insomnia, last night was good.
Plans For Today
Today's a posting day.
