Rerendered the mine ports for the new approach angle and added an extra panel to flesh out the 6×9 space – ph34r the engine flare-up! The radar panel has also been redone – for this page and all of its proceeding appearances. I could have lived with the original version, and was all set to do so when I made the mistake of reading the screen text.

Horror won out over sloth, as it so often does.

When it comes to the pages, anyway. When it comes to the metadata, sloth likes to ambush my ass. Case in point, I’ve written out the entries for reentry -8- through -13- in a wooden sludge-tunnel of high blood sugar and low energy. As a consequence, they’ve got that wandering near-coherence my blog occasionally reeks of.

I’m slowly getting the money and the drinking under control… I figure after hardware, I’ll make diet an honest priority and see where that takes me. It’s too late for more no-doz – I have to work tomorrow!
