checks date … oh I didn’t miss the new unofficial weekender start after all 😉

I’ve only seen the live blog of Salute. It looks like a weekend show done in a single day. Total sensory overload, but worth seeing in the flesh I bet. I’m surprised at how widely spaced the event was.

The Halo game looked exactly like the thing I never knew I wanted … at least that’s how I explain pre-ordering it before seeing the demo 😉 (I kind of trust Mantic to know what they’re doing and the video showed that I was right so far 😀 )

On a related note I missed the yearly gaming event because I was busy with my new house, which sucked because it’s always great to see games in real life. Would have loved to see if there was more wargaming going on.

Anways … 1:1 terrain aka my new house has been keeping me busy. So glad it’s not an actual ‘fixer upper’, but there’s more to do and think about. A lot of the stuff really is time vs money. I’ve spent several days prepping and painting the walls of one room, which the professionals would have done in a single day. Most of that time was spent acquiring the various bits and pieces needed. In an ideal world I’d be painting the other rooms after getting home from work, but while working on that first one I noticed how useful actual daylight is.

Finally got internet up and running as well. It’s been almost the same as when I got my appartment where I had my computer setup before anything else 😀

Plans for my hobby room are slowly materializing. I hope the thing I am wanting to do actually works.
It would be soo damned cool. I’m working slightly above my skill set on this one, but I think it is worth the risk.
I can’t show progress, because I’m waiting for one vital part to arrive. I will need a few extra bits and bobs, but those will need to wait a bit as I need the main part first. (yes … all very mysterious, but that’s fun 😛 )

I am sort of documenting progress in picture format, because I think it needs its own project.

And while all of that is happening I need to find time to prepare packing all of the bits that need to move to their new home.
