Blogdump

Lots of little things, I'll just group them together today.

Mythosa Chronicle: The articles for the next issue are ready, I just need to get off my backside and get a map done and some art pieces. The main article for the issue after that is also written (thank god for the productivity of my daily train commute), so things should get moving again on that.

Mythosa Hex Map: A full hex map of Mythosa is done; I just need to decide on a coordinate system. This is mainly for my campaign, but I'll post it here when it's done.

TableSmith 5.1: A minor update is coming soon. Just a couple of minor features to finish.

Economics: People - it's not a "zero-sum" game. Please learn some of the basics.

Hmm...I thought I had more, but that's about it for now I guess. I'll have to do better in the future - the above seems rather "Twitter-esque" (I really don't get the appeal of that site). More later if need be.

Adobe - WTF?

I asked you to install Reader 8. I did not ask you to install "Photoshop Album Starter Edition" as well.

For all that people complain about Microsoft, I'm really sick of this crap from other companies. Adobe does this, Apple requires (at required) you to install iTunes when you installed QuickTime... And these are two companies the hippies are all in love with.

Hey - install only what I want, not all this extra garbage. It's like Sierra Utilities all over again.

And now I have to restart to install Acrobat Reader! Again, WTF?

Ubuntu is looking better again...
