After a few months obsessing over Second Life I appear to have gotten it out of my system, for the most part. I'm still active on there, no doubt, but I'm not spending hours obsessively coding for the game anymore. As such, I am now back to spending hours obsessively coding for Deus Ex. YAY!
Of course, my renewed interest in Deus Ex happens to come just before I am set to leave for a few days. "Where to," you ask? The Penny Arcade Expo, as it happens! After attending the festivities last year I was quite sold on the experience, and purchased my ticket as soon as I could. This almost caused a problem this month, as with my new job my "weekends" are on Tuesday and Wednesday, rather than the traditional Saturday-Sunday which would have allowed me to take a single day off of work in order to attend. Fortunately my boss was willing to give me three days off -- unpaid, of course -- since I asked about a month ahead of time.
Anyway, I will be leaving for Seattle Friday morning, and I'll be back Sunday evening. This IS a geek convention though, so I may be online, but likely not to code. I try to make PAX a social event: less "Yuki coding alone", more "Yuki playing Smash with his friends" or "Yuki trying to be an Omeganaut."
