What DF stuff I've done lately

in game

Nothing. Two weeks of being unable to boot my comp have kinda put a crimp on a lot of things. Haven't actually gotten around to playing DF since I've gotten back online. Lots of meatspace stuff to attend to first. When I finally get a chance, I'll probably play for "fun" for a bit before returning to my... "experiments". -jaz

Wiki

Again, nothing. I'm updating my personal stuff but I'm not even looking at the main stuff, yet.... I apparently need to go learn html, since futzing with my desc. got me in trouble and I had to undo all of it. I like the visuals, but the colors are wrong. There are sections that should blue, green and cyan instead of all white. I tried to fix that, but it put everything else (including this section) into that style and just... looked wrong.

I am still looking for work for the wiki. I am too ... something... to go out and just add/fix stuff on my own. Don't want to get shot down again, but I do, usually, have a bit of time each week that I can devote to such things. If someone would like to point me to a dwarf wiki task that doesn't require sublime wit (which I often recognise in others but cannot seem to duplicate myself), nor experiance with modding, nor... let's just say if it's mindlessly boring "take this info from these three tables and use this format to put it there"... I'll do at least eight hours worth as penance for my not-so-recent sins (which have multiplied, apparently). If you're lucky, you'll get quite a bit more out of me. Depending on how long I put off starting, and what I'm using this task as an excuse for avoiding. ... See, my tendancy towards procrastination can be used to your advantage. -jaz 23:12, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Ever feel like a little fish in a really big pond?

And that maybe the pond is filled with something other than clear crystal water?

I am wading through some of the forums at www.bay12games.com, trying not to duplicate threads as I make suggestions (or, in at least one case, point out that there is a perfectly good way of dealing with the problem they want dealt with without them suggesting something that would mess up my problem even more, and better yet, their solution is already functional in the game). My word, there is a lot of ... stuff... to wade through. Even if I find a thread that talks about something similar to what I'm thinking, it may be a good ten pages long... and if I don't want to sound like a "me too!" who didn't even bother to read what they're "me too!"ing, then... argh... And when that's /already/ a duplicate thread. Headache. And then it turns out that none of them address the subtle vision I see... or insist on making it too complicated to actually impliment...

And I have to wonder, if it's this difficult for me, wading through it all, how badly fare the Great Toad and his tri-toed sibling? Because I'm sure I'm not looking at even a tenth of the ... stuff... that they are. (And no, I don't mean "<redacted>" because it's worthless, but rather because there's just so much of it that it intimidates me and I thus feel the need to call it dirty words. I accept my common ways.)

So, Yargh, I say. Yargh! I will take my ineffective self to dinner, and maybe tomorrow will wade through more "suggestions" in the hopes of finding a gem, a clever mind who's desires match my own (and who was smart enough to phrase it in a way that other people actually understand).
