Development : It also means "Advised To Clean"

July has been a busy month. It's not over - not by a long shot. The workload that nuked comic production back into neutral will be bleeding over into August - how long that'll last, I don't know. With luck and proper planning, things will be getting thing again in a couple of weeks.

I'm Re-Jobbed, at least for the time being - I don't know how stable it'll be or how it'll shape up in terms of workload, but for the time being it's looking good. That'll have positive benefits in the near and hopefully long term - in the immediate term, I still have a ton of freelance work to wrap up... and as soon as those projects are finalized and the clients are happy, I'll be hacking out new business cards and doing some work on the DCR website.

What kind of work, I don't yet know, exactly. An overhaul at the very least, potentially a total repurposing. Something involving less duplication of effort.

On a web-related note... there's still a ton of work to do on the ATC site. Mostly in Universe, but comic chapter descriptions still need a rewrite, analytics is still being a goober, I'm cleared for ads I still need to figure out where to put, etc.

The DCR chapter two script is inching along - upcoming scenes are now on their third or fourth draft, the next few pages have been finalized and have layouts, and I've managed to get some plotting work done but nothing in terms of actual work. That comes later, after the bits in the previous paragraphs have been dealt with.

Development : My love is stronger than most explosions.

16:48 < xeno> <- Wagner : Die Valkure
16:49 < xeno> solios: you need to learn flash animation and do a short of wangfish launching like rockets synched to ride of the valkyries.
16:49 < xeno> it would rule.
16:49 < solios> hah.
16:50 < xeno> with a silhouetted Val conducting
16:50 < xeno> a la fantasia
16:50 < solios> hah.
16:50 < xeno> or mst3k
16:50 < xeno> fagbot: doot my brainmeats.
16:50 < fagbot> 2.25 and a handjob
16:51 < xeno> pretty much
16:51 < xeno> except it's more like .45
16:51 < xeno> solios: it would only need to be about 2.5m, because at that point Sven would be chasing her around with a straitjacket

I do need to learn some Flash, but not for that reason. And I *do* have an ATC video thing in the Serious Consideration pipeline. Bits of storyboards, some editing and CG ideas, but no time to work on it at the present.

If I can get my clone out of storage - or pull off some other form of time management miracle - then maybe I'll be able to do something about that little project this month.

Further bulletins etc etc.
