Let it Bleed
Mar. 9th, 2008 11:17 amMy devices are conspiring against me. Here's how things are breaking down:
1. Thermostat on the truck is failing. May be able to replace it next weekend.
2. The power adapter for my laptop is dead - broken wires. I've found a replacement, and while I'm not especially thrilled to spend $45 on a laptop that I'm retiring in a few months, I do need to have the thing operational.
3. Neither the manufacturer nor phone company support my phone any longer. That means no headset availability to replace the one that fell out of the truck a week ago. Means I'm going to wind up having to get a newer phone, and possibly a Bluetooth headset, the looks of which just don't sit well with me.
Things aren't all bad, though. Got to see an old pal from college last night and get him out of a hospital waiting room for a while.
I got the contract for another Spycraft project yesterday. The product ID is a little bit intimidating - it's the first book in a series. My work's going to be the flagship of this particular line. With the impending outsourcing and my internal transfer, I'm no longer going to have access to the layout and graphic design resources I'd planned to use for another project, so I may convert it from a full-on privateer project to a contracted job, and break it into two separate pieces - the missions in one, and source material in another.
