Warped but delicious

Warped but delicious Ravings of the damned... http://www.drunkoncaffeine.com/warped/templates/default/img/s9y_banner_small.png http://www.drunkoncaffeine.com/warped/ 2008-08-27T01:55:58Z Serendipity 1.3.1 - http://www.s9y.org/ en Yoda 2008-08-27T01:55:58Z 2008-08-27T01:55:58Z http://www.drunkoncaffeine.com/warped/wfwcomment.php?cid=11 0 http://www.drunkoncaffeine.com/warped/rss.php?version=atom1.0&type=comments&cid=11 http://www.drunkoncaffeine.com/warped/archives/2008/08/11 So apparently, I've lost my glasses

I definitely had them at the Gathering... but have lost track of them since...

All bags and boxes have been emptied and they're not present.

On the other hand, I may just be a numpty and they may be in the washing machine but I'm not hearing any klunks from the glasses case.

In other news, I had fun at the Gathering. Monstering was brilliant and seeing folk was even better. Still... coming back home with 5 out of 8 bottles of alcohol... and the not being able to offload a bottle of chocolate port in the Unicorns Camp on the Festival of Bez when it was going for free... that was just wrong!

This post is slightly late.

By a few weeks.

But then, I'm slightly drunk.

I'm now a Bachelor of Science with Third Class Honours in the field of Computer Science.

woo!

Though I did have to stop myself from giggling through the Chancellor of the University's speech... especially the bit where she was saying how hard we hard to work to get our degrees...

Hopefully this works so it's only accessible by password or LJ friends...

New address is:

12/1 Yeaman Place
Edinburgh
EH11 1BX

Have moved now! Not all unpacked yet, but it's all here! Address will be given to those who want it, when they want it... I don't want to just spill it all over the internet after all. (I may do a Friends-only post on LJ with it though). There will be a flat-warming at some point... I just don't know when.

In other news, I graduate on the 9th of July. And when I do, I'll be picking up a shiny Honours degree in Computer Science.

(3rd class if you're wondering).

I'm vaguely worrying over the prospect of running Mortals for Cam. The closer it gets to running, the more worried and panicky I get...

And because I can't afford the time, and with the shorter holidays, looks like I won't be running a summer campaign. But I might just go old school for next year's game instead.

Flat-hunting has finally achieved success levels! We've got a flat on Yeaman place that we'll be moving into over the next couple of weeks. There's still admin stuff to sort, like actually paying the rest of the deposit, but we've got it!

Also, I graduate in less than a month, and find out what with on Thursday. Hoping for something decent... like a 2:2... Everyone seemed to like my dissertation - or at least not tell me about huge flaws at the presentation (which also went well) apart from the lack of a code appendix.

And laptop is back! I once again have my own machine, so Dave can get his back when I'm done recreating my ideal workspace on mine.

So, Cam is good. I'm enjoying the games I play, and have characters ready for the others

I might be taking on the tiniest bit of responsibility though... My Mortals Venue is due to start July 5th (it's a Saturday) for character gen and stuff. Oh, and then I might be becoming the Coordinator for Edinburgh Promethean... And of course, there's my new position as AANST (Assistant Assistant National StoryTeller) Mortals (Legacy) which means that I take over if something happens to Steve Clapton...

But Cam is fantastic

I have a forgetful map-maker who's somehow ended up in charge of Edinburgh's Onyx Court (That's Winter to you non-Changeling fanatics), a newly-Changed policeman who intends to bring justice to the other Uratha (werewolves) in Edinburgh and a bug-nuts crazy ex-commando who should be on many types of drugs running around in London. I have plans for a student activist mage, a wandering vampire monk and a punk rocker promethean.

Looks like I'm going to be running the Mortals section of the Scottish Regional as well - but I already have ideas for that, so shall be much fun.

Now if only I had plots for the venue in general...

Of course running my venue kind of depends on me having a flat... kicks random flat companies Flat hunting not going brilliantly and kind of have a 2 week deadline now...

Hopefully things'll work out fairly soon...

Seems that while I can update to LJ just fine - and anywhere else that uses XMLRPC (like MySpazz *shudder*), once it's up there I can't edit it from here. So it has to be right - first time.

I need to get used to drafting and previewing...

You may be wondering why the new website is named Warped but delicious... Truth be told, it's all Fran's fault.

And mine, truth be told. It all comes from the following excerpt from IRC:

[Yoda] I may be slightly warped by now
[Fran] But delicious.

And thus it was decreed by Fran that I am Warped but delicious. And such was my new blog named.

Ah, the freedom and invigoration that comes from having finished one's academic studies... Dissertation is handed in, and I have only the presentation on it to do now!

And the joy of having created a new shiny site.

I'm still working my round configuring it and working out just how everything works, but my blogging has a new home at Warped but delicious...

It should also be posting to Livejournal just like my Wordpress blogs did.

I'll likely also set up another site for actual content and stuff. But this is all shiny
