A Bright Sunny Day

That's what it was today - bright and sunny. Not terribly warm, though - fairly unseasonable for mid-May in fact. I spent the majority of the day working on code - I fixed a couple of issues with the Steam development, part of which involved working with the Telerik RadEditor. Which looks pretty awesome.

Finished Conventions of War. This was really good sci-fi - a reasonably epic space opera with some interesting ideas on how a war would be fought between sides which do not have inertial dampners, and where a direct hit by a single antimatter missile is plenty to take out all but the largest ships. The characters were great, as was the writing. The only thing I didn't like was the ending - I feel like the author started a plot thread in the last fifty pages that, in the end, he had to cut short simply because he was running out of word count. Regardless, I'm hoping that he can manage a couple more books in this series - the setting is interesting and there's a lot more he could write therein.

Next up will probably be A Feast for Crows, since I haven't read it yet.

In other news - I successfully cooked steak tonight. I feel manly.
