Escapade and stuff
Mar. 7th, 2010 11:10 amEscapade was awesomesauce.
I didn't get to thank everyone who made it possible but thank you, thank you. Even the fact that I have the con-crud does not diminish the simple pleasure just being around people I like was.
I've got not much else. Return to work was the usual flurry of stuff wot did not get done while I was gone, plus the planning and execution of two company-wide events that happened this week.
Escapade reminded me that I didn't used to be so hermitish. I really only had one incident of note (to me) which Rache kindly helped resolve. the rest of the time I found quiet when I needed it... I have a feeling having the beach so close was a big plus there, rain or no. I spent a lot of time walking along it in the early early that is my habit whenever I hit the west coast.
I went back and re-read some of the Never series in SPN, finding I still like it and even remember where I was going with it. That hasn't actually translated into anything yet.
I'm working on uploading my stories to And Archive of Our Own. Someone kindly sent me what they had on their hard drive but I'm having to do a lot of html stripping and actually formatting, more than I expected, but I shouldn't be surprised. Most of what I have was written and coded long before CSS or any or the simpler coding and even my old word documents are showing some surprisingly unsupported character returns, so it's mostly been about turning it all into text files and recoding them. Ugh. But, it's happening and I'm relatively committed to getting it done this year if nothing else. Sooner would be better but there's still only so many hours in a day I'm willing to be on the computer to do it. I might feel lest frustrated if I load later stuff, but it's the older stuff that's not available any longer, so, Duncan and Methos once more have most of my attention, if not the same loving cruelty I use to greet them with.
