Made some Ginger Ale bread today.
3 cups bread flour
12 oz of warm ginger ale (1 can worth, no diet sodas)
1 tablespoon yeast
Mix the stuff together.
No kneading.
Let raise if you want to.
375 degrees for 20-25 minutes
Makes two tiny loaves.
Good: 40 minutes start to finish. The crust is amazing.
Bad: The bread itself is relatively uninteresting.
Going to try it again later with whole wheat and root beer. |

I always enjoyed this. Stumbled across it again today.
Meat.
Not much else going on. |

A pair of Piñon Jays are sitting about 5 feet from me as I type this. They enjoy sitting on the back porch and harassing the cat. They have been pretty friendly and one has come into the house already.
Still looking for work. Have had a few leads and a couple interviews but nothing has panned out so far. I have been doing odd jobs here and there, mostly deployments and break/fix stuff, but not enough to pay the bills. Had one call last week to replace a bar code reader and when I arrived on site there was another tech there because the company had put in two calls and they both made it through the system. I still get paid for it, but that's about how things have been going recently.
Also picked up an eeePC so I have something for getting a console for configuring routers and hopefully a few more jobs. It's a neat little system, but haven't been able to get the USB -> Serial adapter to work with it yet. Would rather not have to install Windows on this thing.
I did get a call for a job doing phone and remote support for the Department of Energy. Seems pretty ideal, Mon-Fri with Friday off 1/2 the weeks so my weekends would be free and wouldn't need to waste time off for Fri-Sun camping events. Pay isn't great, but it is a long term job with benefits that I could count on having for at least 2 years. I hope this one works out, so tired of looking for work.
Haven't been going out to the park recently since I've been feeling generally angry. Haven't really felt like that since I was younger and I tended to take it out on others physically. Though I'm still taking it out on others, but it's online so I can only emotionally hurt them. Though I will be out for the Dragonspine coronation thing this weekend so I can tease Anatole about his broken hand.
Current Amtgard Projects:
Making/rebuilding a few swords tonight.
Had an idea for a new crown that there is no way I can get finished before tomorrow night. May need to get Jacob's help to work out some of the interlacing I have planned as all of my books on the subject are either in storage or in his possession.
I Planned out a squire's belt for my new squire but I need more leather as he is a big guy. Going for a two tone design with Red/Burgundy that should be interesting and I don't like the look of the solid red belts anyway. |

Anyone interested in doing some writing about tabletop gaming? I'm not certain of the final format yet, but perspective from both the player and gm is something I had in mind. |

Three things.
1. Still looking for a job. Now at that point where I have to take whatever I can get instead of looking for something that actually suits me.
2. Making pizza for dinner. Eventually going to figure out how to get pizza onto a hot pizza stone.
3. Won another tournament. Albuquerque needs more fighters. |

Staying at Robyn's mom's house at the moment. Still no comp-u-ters on site. So far just applying for jobs and waiting. Did some gardening of very spiky plants.
Future plans after new job and new apartment...
Get server back online.
Pay taxes.
Build some websites.
Play some games.
Complete a set of quals.
Figure out how to end my current D&D campaigns.
Start a new D&D campaign.
Um... and stuff. |

Computer is about to get shut down and packed up so I'll be off the grid for a while.
474-9107 will still work, but I'll only be able to check messages. |

Have all of my gear and equipment set aside for packing in the car tomorrow. Just have a couple sword covers to make in the morning.
Taking my modded video camera and a still camera. Will post after the event.
Also built a "Power" button for general irritation during the event. Be sure to ask me about it at the event if you haven't seen it yet. |

...for work
Just quit my job this morning due to disagreements with the way the gallery was being run.
So if anyone needs a computer tech, webmaster, crazy hobo stabber, or someone skilled in asskickery, let me know. Primarily looking for a job in Albuquerque, but Santa Fe is right here too. In the mean time I'll be updating my resumes and getting my freelance stuff started again so I have some sort of income.
Also, Firefox doesn't like the word "asskickery". |

Picked up one of those one time use video cameras today at CVS for $30.
Opened it up, soldered a USB port onto it, and got some fun driver software to access it.
Now have a 20 minute video camera that runs on 2 AA batteries. |

And a new icon to mark the occasion.
Turns out I've been spending way too much time playing computer games for the last year. So I've decided to just not play any games for a little while so I can actually finish up some long overdue projects, some Amtgard related and some not.
Played Amtgard Saturday in Pegasus Valley. Arrived a bit after 1:00 and almost everyone cut out before 4:00 which means that the hour drive each way is hard to justify.
Played Amtgard Sunday in Lost Souls on their first weekend. Was afraid it was an April Fools joke for a while until I started looking behind buildings in the park and spotted Riff Raff and Kyrie's van. Less folks, but lasted longer. Developed a huge headache over the course of the day.
I'm told that I need to look more gangsta...
Primary "right now" projects...
Finish Anderson site
Apply for Financial Aid to see if I can go back to school
Amtgard Projects that need to be done...
Get demo together for Ren Faire in May
Finish Construction Guide vol. 1
Interkingdom Calendar finishing touches
Make Wheel Tunic
Make New Armor
Upgrade pegasusvalley.com
Remove outdated info from Harvest War site
Make new set of weapons (no more noodle...)
Event season prep
Redo Amtgard Directory
New look for PV site
Traits/Abilities Database for A7
Card Game (too close to being "finished" to abandon) |
