Rest assured that although the sidebar says the service is temporarily unavailable, it is in fact running. What isn't working is the web status widget we used, apparently. Typefrag recently updated their control panel and apparently this feature is either taken away or not finished. As soon as I know more I will let you all know.

Sorry for the confusion...

In the email I received, the address to send your votes to got garbled. The correct address is

(shown correct in the version Maska posted). I think you can just hit reply to the email ballot and get this address.

Also, for those that mainly know me recently from WoW, I am listed as Dinaden on the ballot. Used to be my main char in EQ See my avatar, license plate from when I lived in VA ---->

I am aware of the issues with the site, but as to yet haven't figured out why most people can't access it.

As I learn more I'll let you know.

... and no, I wasn't doing anything...

(Does anyone know why my Blog posts don't show up on the main page anymore?)

Anyway, here are a couple that I figured you wouldn't mind seeing here...

Sketchbook: NEs

Wed, 22 Aug 2007 05:08:19 -0700

The sketchbook entry was done when I was happy to be speaking with Shieldhaven on the phone, post-GenCon-- it is something of a smoke screen for what's going on in my head right now.

Essentially, whenever the baser and worst in people comes out despite my hopes to the contrary, it gets me pretty down. The short version of the story is that I got cheated, called a liar, and am now stuck with an item that I don't want-- and of course I don't feel like dragging this through Paypal mediation. Anyway, if any of you know of someone who'd like a Slytherin robe (NOT made by me) never worn, from a non-smoking home-- drop me a line. At least maybe someone will derive some enjoyment out of the thing. (It was simply too big. I tried to return it, was called a cheat and a liar, and am now stuck with it.) The lesson I've learned? When in doubt, don't try to cut corners. Don't think that throwing money at a problem will solve it. Don't expect people to be decent human beings when there's money involved. Meh. Sometimes people suck.

As for me and my own costuming: I recognize now that I should just stick to making my own, and have done so at this point. On the vaguely good side: I found out that a custom BSG Duty Blues uniform (which I've gotten pretty good at making, having made a total of 3 complete from last year and working on three more for this year) sell for upwards of $400.00 USD. Maybe I should quit my day job.

Gearing up for Dragon*Con

Fri, 17 Aug 2007 15:57:17 -0700

Slowly but surely I'm pulling together costuming for D*C. This year will be the year of BSG as well as the year of the Hogwarts.

I am a Slytherin, and proud of it! So absolutely I will be there in my Hogwarts school uniform, complete with 3-and-a-half-inch-heel Mary Janes. (I'm in Slytherin. What?)

Of course there'll be photos.

Swimming with the Fishes

Fri, 17 Aug 2007 07:34:38 -0700

Andy and I had the opportunity to spend last Saturday at Sea World with his folks - his parents, and his brother, sister-in-law, and their two kids. We weren't about to pass it up, so we got up nice and early and headed down to San Antonio with his parents in their car.

I was wondering at first if they'd take it badly if Andy and I slipped away to wander around by ourselves, but apparently not; the second we walked into the gates and the family started to debate what they wanted to see first, we slithered out of the way and headed over to the Clydesdale exhibit to see the horsies.

After that we checked out the dolphins, which you can apparently feed yourself at certain times during the day. We didn't get to, but we noted the feeding times for later. Then we headed toward the rides... because while I have a deep and abiding fear of roller coasters, I did tell Andy that if was going to try to get me on one, it had better be in the morning before lunch.

Sorry I haven't been online lately folks. Thanks to all your well-wishes (and hopefully my own expertise) I successfully landed the job at Turbine Games. I've been offline in preparation for the move, and will still probably be offline for a bit longer. My first day of work is September 10th, so hopefully I should have internet again at that point and will be able to login and say howdy.

In the mean time, I've got *lots* of packing to do and crazy amounts of work to do. I'll see you all after the dust settles.
