A Brief Update: Progress on Two Fronts

TODAY hasn't been the best day for email purposes. I had finally set aside time to write to everyone, but I've not had much luck accessing my email. Not sure why; I can get into Blogger just fine. It could be mere coincidence that my email servers are both having technical problems, or it could be any of a variety of other issues. So, I find myself with the time to -briefly- mention a couple notes of progress

First, I have been experimenting with a NEW Website Provider. The site hasn't gone live yet, and I shall not be announcing it in the near future - I'm fairly impressed with the provider's stability, but (surprisingly, for this particular provider), the interface is not particularly user friendly. It may become more friendly after I've had enough time to play around with it.
I plan to move all of the Honved.com content over as soon as I find a better provider - at the moment, however, I can't even get into my Geocities account. This is unrelated to my email issues - Geocities simply stinks. The latest drama is that my log in isn't being recognized consistently; when it is, nothing happens. I'm not surprised, but annoyed. I've already lost one site (Corvinuspress.com) due to Yahoo Geocities incompetence. I won't be pleased to lose another, particularly given all of the work I'd done on Honved. (And all the friends, and apparently at least one enemy I've made as a result...)

Second, I have made a bit of progress with the boardgame I'm developing. I finally managed to sit down and look through some notes made by my chief "Content Editor" to incorporate some of the changes he's suggested. I think I may break it out for a public playtest sometime in the near future, assuming I find a way to print the board which is acceptable to me. I'm not going to do the whole "taping sheets of paper together" thing. It just looks sloppy to me. I know lots of people, very talented people, do it that way. But I can't. It's part of my OCD, I suspect. I just have a weird thing about aesthetics.

At any rate, stay tuned for further developments on both fronts. Also, hope to have email up and working again shortly so that I can write to several folks probably wondering why I haven't replied.
