Day 8: Impressive amounts of lack of progress
Well real life at massagebuilder.com has been keeping me busy with our first national marketing push to massage therapists nationwide and latest iteration of web tools for their practices.
I did manage to write an actual application (instead of the usual web application) which was a nice change of pace. Unfortunately all the real work has been doing a good job at keeping me away from getting much done on the prototype.

I managed to get the basic board laid out with placeholder graphics (colored circles) I also got the basics of the initial motion started. However dealing with the collisions caused all sorts of issues that I have not had time to work on yet.

Also the evil geniuses at Stardock have released the oh so free time hungry Galactic Civilizations II and I'll admit as to having played that when I should have been prototyping (and not regretting a moment spent with GalCivII).

I gave up EQ2 since the main reason I play the MMOs is to play with the wife and it ran like crap on her PC (probably because she's only got 512mb ram) And I re-installed COH which has apparently gotten some nice graphical tweaks and lots of new content. Now I just need to get the wife hooked (which considering the amount of kibbitzing going on during costume design should not be that hard)

And the impending arrival of Oblivion does not bode well for free time development either.

Currently I'm re-reading the Tad Williams' "Otherland" series in small bites over the last couple weeks. It's actually better than I remember. Tom Wolfe's "I am Charlotte Simmons" was a good read as well.
Picked up Stephenson's first part of the Baroque Cycle but am having a hard time getting into it.
