Happy new year!
===============

It's April now, but better late than never, right?

I don't really have anything to write about.  I've been doing a lot of
gopherspace lurking, popping over to gemini to water my astrobotany
plant every few days.  Work is keeping me too busy to do much more than
that.

Maybe not just work.  I've spent a fair amount of time this year
getting stuck into my Ironsworn campaign.  It's heaps of fun,
particularly as this is the first time I've engaged with a true RPG as
a player.  (I think I mentioned in another post that I've been GMing
Hero Kids for my daughters.)  Solo RPGs are pretty strange beasts, but
Ironsworn at least works a lot better than I expected it to.  Despite
the fact that, fundamentally, everything is coming from my own head,
it does feel like exploration.  I genuinely don't know how the story
is going to turn out.  It does require some mental discipline to keep
this going, but this quickly becomes second nature. (In my case the
rule is that the first coherent interpretation of an oracle roll that
pops into my head is the one I go with)

Anyway, just wanted to give the old phlog a poke so that it's clear
that I'm still here, still listening, still thinking, and of course
still programming. :)

Tchüss zämme!
