Binky Sicky
*sniffle*
The move out of the clubhouse last week put me under the weather, still snotty. At least the sore throat's gone.
I got to go home early yesterday after the wife called in a panic, her car wouldn't start. Turns out the battery died, so I convinced her not to tow it to the dealer to have them run an expensive diagnostic on it. I replaced the battery myself, shocking her that I could actually get my hands greasy by working on a car. Binky the grease monkey. Ook.
Projects are coming due fast. One site will be released in less than a week, another in about 2 or 3 weeks. It'll be nice to have them live.
Still haven't finished the skins. The good news, though, is I figured out how to make a master of the skins, and just change the colors and buttons, so I don't have to re-add all the goodies. Did that with VahkiPower skin (renamed "VP"), need to map colors for all the rest of the winners and finish them up. One nice little bonus when they all get finished - they'll have search capabilities again, albeit using a different engine.
BrickFest is coming in August, and I doubt I'll be able to go, money's a tad tight and it's hard justifying the expense this year. Travelling all the way across the US to play with plastic bricks is a bit spendy (although I usually spend most of my time talking with people rather than building anything).
Oh, I got to see the new NXT yesterday, the local LEGO Store manager just got his demo version in. I've got my preorder in, which starts shipping July 1st, so I may be getting it sometime in July. It's funny, one of the NXT models is a direct rip of a Nui-Jaga.
This thing rocks, though. Can't wait.
