I spent some time since last week’s update reflecting on some of the things in this list. When I first put this list together, I wanted a list of ten things. What this ultimately meant was I put a couple things on the list that I have been wanting to work on, but hadn’t in a while.

Since then, a couple other projects have gotten some life and energy, while other projects have gone virtually untouched since I added them to this list.

In light of that, I am creating three lists: On The Table (active projects), In The Closet (mothballed projects), and In The Trophy Case (completed projects). This will allow me to keep track of inactive projects, and track things on which I am actively working. Right now, the Trophy Case is empty. But I’m going to list it anyway.

On The Table:

1. Shambles – I still expect to see a finished download this week. I was told of the cover “It is going to be so awesome you will pee kittens of pure joy.”
2. Codename: Obnoxious Howler Monkey – Unchanged. I still have all the parts for it, I just need to sit down and assemble.
3. Codename: Simulated Jocular Anaconda – I was in contact with one of the principles behind this project, specifically inquiring about deadlines. I was not given any, which is good and bad. Sunday will be entirely devoted to sitting down somewhere and writing for this project.
4. Shambles Source Material – Unchanged
5. Codename: Unwashed Repeat Pedestrian – Unchanged.
6. Codename: Enormous Intersected Automaton – Unchanged.
7. Codename: Gremlin Persistent Malice – I circled back with the freelancers who did some work for this, paying the ones who needed paying and securing the necessary rights to the works in question. Next step will be to integrate them and see what still needs to be done.
8. NEW Codename: Big Audio Dynamite – I put out some feelers on this, to see if it was feasible.
9. NEW Codename: Pandoran Apothecary Chest – I had a conversation with someone about launching this project, and we have an informal appointment to discuss the particulars over dinner.
10. NEW Codename: First Rural Delusions – This is a proposal that was accepted, but one I have not worked on. I need to get it worked out.

In The Closet

1. Codename: Insignificant Diversionary Anaconda – I was informed that the work required from me on this project has been completed. It’s not “done” yet, and won’t be “done” (as in, ready for production or purchase) until next year. I am putting this in the closet, until they need something else from me or until I can discuss the project further. Mothballed 10/28/09.
2. Codename: Cackle Smash Soup – Mothballed 10/28/09
3. Codename: Tactical Plastic Laser – Mothballed 10/28/09

In The Trophy Case

Nothing. It’s empty. For now.

Excuse Of The Week: I spent several hours doing major server work to change my hosting package. It was work that needed doing, but it did take up a chunk of time.
