Stuff & Things
Most of my posting lately has been to my twitter account (http://twitter.com/netbard). I've no particular interest in having those entries post here, since I don't see the point. If people want to read my twitter, they can join my twitter. If, for no apparent reason, you want to include my twitter in your LJ friends listing, you can pull the RSS into a syndicated feed and add it that way.
So work has been eating my brain lately - we just released our new application and supporting its first few steps is keeping me insanely busy. We've had something like 60,000 people use it so far, though, so I suppose that's a plus. I'm trying to track down a couple more issues, and adding features we'll need for the next release. And starting to ramp up our next major development project. Its actually a good opportunity, since I'll be managing contractors over in India as part of the project. Yearly reviews should be happening soon.
Entertainment wise, I've been loving the hell out of Blackest Night. Its been an amazing ride, and I'm going to be a little sad when its finally over. We still have Brightest Day to look forward to, though. I've been back-filling my Green Lantern collection by picking them up in trades - I already have everything from SInestro Corp War up until I started picking up singles, and a fair bit between Rebirth and Sinestro Corp War.
Still playing Mass Effect 2. Getting a little hung up on mining, which is a task I pretty much detest. Since I don't like detesting things when I'm attempting to have fun, it makes it a little hard to get through. Also, Final Fantasy 13 comes out in less than five days.
Haven't actually watched a lot of anime lately, though I still have plenty of stuff to watch. Season 4 Bleach, original Macross (streaming on Hulu), Macross 7, Macross Frontier, Utena (all three of which I have digitally), and a couple of other things that have been on my shelf a while. Should give a look at Gundam 00, to see if it was any good. Mobile Gundam Seed Unicorn is also starting to come out, though I haven't heard much about it other than that its set in the UC timeline. I'm not sure that's coming out in a format that isn't blu-ray, though, which is a problem.
Oh and I'll be playing oWoD. Current concept is a fairly young Tremere with as much Path of Technomancy as they'll let me buy. He's a technologist, trying to push computer science as far as he possibly can. And, in the meantime, getting his hooks into databases across any city that he can - his value to the Tremere lies in the information that he can give them and the insight in the new communications technologies he has. Think DC's Oracle, except for being male and not paraplegic. :P
Ties available, if people want them.
