The Usual... errrr... Thursday Bullshit...

Been an exceedingly busy week here. As anyone that doesn’t still live in their mom’s basement knows, even a small unproblematic cross-city move entails many minor details. A large move, one involving a couple businesses and cats, over a couple thousand miles, exponentially increases the number of trips to the hardware store, grocery store, various home furnishing stores, etc. We also picked up a couple rooms we didn’t have previously (dining room, guest bedroom) so we needed to get shit to put in them to make them fulfill their designated functions.

Anyhow, we’re mostly almost entirely somewhat back to normal now, and Progress is being made on various Projects. Adam just purchased the 64-bit dev box that he needed, and Discord 3 has a UI, although it’s still missing some key ingredients that would allow me to show it to you (mainly a big bit in the middle, but everything around the edges is done.)

Phoenix, aside from what appears to be a rather dismal local music scene, seems to be a pretty slick city, too. I don’t want to say that the old saw “if you’re bored, you’re boring” applies, but I’m finding plenty of cool little shops and restaurants. They’re a bit hard to see because they’re always behind a Chili’s or a Circle K, but they’re here. I will say the following: if you like pawn shops or yard sales (and I very much do) then this city is made of pure motherfucking win. I have a feeling I’m going to be sending a lot of records up to PDX for Jeremy’s shop.

(Brief commercial interlude: Jeremy, the other half of RT60, a band you’ve never heard but know a lot about, has a record store now. Go shop there. Facebook page or Google maps link. Needless to say, it is in PDX, so fat lot of good it’ll do you elsewhere.)

Anyhow, that’s where we’re at. I’ll have a D3 UI to show off by the end of the weekend, but otherwise, science marches on.
