Not much to say lately...

[robotech_master]

Work's been pretty busy, and most of the writing I've been doing has been for my essay journal lately. I've posted a few updates to that, anyway. Check 'em out.

Looking forward to this weekend; apparently there's going to be something rather special going on in the City of Heroes...check my essay journal for details, as well as for a piece on how it is possible to open expensive bike locks with cheap ballpoint pens and something on the CBS News National Guard memos gaffe.

That's all for now.

Hurm. Hadn't heard about the bike-lock pen-trick before. Wish I'd heard of it earlier: While moving over this summer, I discovered that I'd lost the key to my Kryptonite lock, which was wrapped around my old bike. Ended up having to cut it off.
The hacksaw didn't scratch it, of course. Neither did the beefy 1/2 hp electric Sawzall. Then I tried my cheap little battery-operated imitation Dremel tool with a ceramic cutting disk. Cut the lock in half in under two minutes.

All through your comments on City of Heroes you praise NCSoft for the updates.

NCSoft is the distributor, operator, and agent. They own the servers and they pay for the excellent customer service people.

Cryptic Studios is the group that writes the software, creates the content, and does all the stuff you're extremely excited about. The Cryptic people had significant parts of this aready done when they picked out NCSoft as their partners. Apparently one of the other major companies they'd gone to, the VP of marketing said "Superheroes? I don't get it." ... and they didn't get it. The contract,that is.

Read the forums more closely for all the gory details.
