I've got the updater for Lord of the Rings Online running, in case I fancy another look at the game after all this time. May as well try and make back some of the money I spent on lifetime subscription to a game I never really got on with.
A couple of months ago I talked about self-publishing, eventually settling instead on a plan of polishing something and sending it to real publishers, in the hope of being properly published. A few weeks ago I told you that along with a couple of friends I'd set myself a target of redrafting 10,000 words a week until the second draft was done in late June.
I finished it at the weekend; the end of the second draft, complete with a few find-all sweeps to catch the capitalisation on a few dangerous words (various 'title' nouns that I didn't actually know how to capitalise when I started, all those years ago...). One of my colleagues at work is an editor; he's offered to look at it (among other people, one or more of whom I will be talking to shortly).
I've no idea how long it will take to get feedback, but it means that perhaps I can work on one of my other projects for a while.

I need a new MMORPG.
Probably not a brand new one, it might be plenty for it to be new to me. Or maybe I could do with some way of finding a new lease of life for one of the ones I know and love-to-hate.

With my usual awesome attention to detail, I've just noticed that one of the comment spam plugins I installed here a while back has a moderation queue, which as you might guess I have never checked. I have accepted a few comments that should have seen light of day ages ago, most notably from Pete and Lyle.
If you do make a comment and it doesn't appear right away, drop me a message through the nearby form (or by e-mail if you know it) and I'll check the queue.

My mp3 player has lost the plot. I tried to delete all the music in order to put some different stuff on. It seemed to work, until I found that some of the music was still there.
Now I have a whole album of ghost tracks, which are clearly on the device somewhere but can't be found in the visible parts of its filesystem.
