Interlude: Good Man
Courtesy of Twitter, and a good conversation I had recently with my boy Aaron. I haven’t had much to put on the blog lately but this seemed to fit the bill. I’ll return to normal production as soon as possible. … Continue reading

Today I saw an interesting post from a buddy of mine (the inestimable KMA, and as soon as his revolutionary website ideas and hilarious fiction are available to the public I can’t wait to share them here), regarding this question … Continue reading
Bonus Post: This Writerly Life
This movie scene suddenly popped into my head at a department meeting today as we were discussing the completion of a long-term project “finally approaching”. And it made me wonder why I had never made the comparison before. – … Continue reading
Interlude: Well edit my artboards and save me in SVG format
Today, indeed most of the past week or two, I’ve mainly been preparing pictures for migration from one doc system to another. Six hundred and ninety-two of them done so far for this set of manuals. It’s not exactly stimulating … Continue reading
Monday of bluuuuurrrgh

Training Day (2)
So far so good. Today it’s more of the same, with minor variations for graphics and other messing around. Another day without a whole lot to add, unfortunately. I had a kick-off meeting with my cousin-in-law Chris last night, to talk … Continue reading
Training Day (1)
This week we have a good long training session in preparation for a shift in tools. I can’t go into much detail, obviously. Anyone who’s been in technical writing long enough will have taken part in a shift from one … Continue reading
Random directionless grumbling
Day 80. 41 pages, 17,209 words. Decent write night last night[1], but not a great one for sleeping. Wump and Toop both decided to keep Mrs. Hatboy company so there was no room for me in bed when I got … Continue reading
