Shortest

Hey it's the shortest day of the year (in the northern hemisphere). With any luck it won't also be the coldest.

JP's Birthday Season Day

Happy Birthday me! You're not old your just aged.

Borderlands - it's OK but Hank is starting to get a bit long in the tooth. the 8800 gts isn't holding up as well as I would have liked. I think I may have laid hands on an 8600 that I can SLI with it to give a small boost, but overall it may be time to start thinking about upgrades.

Windows 7 - I recommend. It's much better than Vista, and it may even be better than XP. It certainly runs OK on Larry, which is saying something for a machine whose architecture is over 5 years old.

Take yer lumps

Well, it's out there now. My game. In other peoples houses. And they're playing it. And surprise, not everybody thinks its better than Monopoly. Well, except me, but I'm not a fan of Monopoly.

This is part of being a designer and a publisher. I'm sure there are people who won't play Agricola. Though apparently, they're all unstable, sociopath mutants.

One complaint that has surfaced - you don't do much when it's not your turn. I'm not sure how to take that either. It is a turn based board game. Everything from Backgammon to Yahtzee has them, and when it's not your turn you watch the other player(s) take theirs. I see it as a design challenge.

Goal Conversion

So the traffic to the official site is through the roof. This is awesome. Sales haven't scaled up accordingly however. PGE is obviously interesting, just not interesting enough.

I'm open to sugestions.
