One post a month?
Wow, looks like I am on a very effective “one post a month” schedule. Fortunately, I have a reasonable excuse for the most recent absence. I took a short contract putting together the front-end for the Global TV Elections website. With Harper calling a snap election, the turn-around on the first iteration of the site was pretty quick. But, we got it done and I think it looks pretty good. It’ll disappear in a few weeks once the election is over, so it is another notch on the ol’ resume that won’t really be viewable by prospective employers. Of course, I’m not really looking for a position doing front-end web development, so that’s probably not a huge deal.
Work hasn’t been the only thing consuming my time. Aside from a solid session of Rock Band 2 on the weekend with some friends, the bulk of my gaming time has been consumed playing Warhammer Online. This is the first MMO since World of Warcraft to feel so … complete … at launch. And the launch itself went much more smoothly than WoW’s did. I don’t know that it will replace WoW as my MMO of choice, but at least until Wrath of the Lich King comes out, I expect that I will be spending much more time in the Warhammer world than I will in Azeroth.
I also think I’ll finally get around to trying my hand at LUA and making UI addons. In WoW there is already a pretty strong ecosystem but with Warhammer there is a significant demand, but not a lot of product yet.
