This month’s ugly colors are sponsored by the current scheme for GenCon. Why? Because 20 years ago was when I attended it for the first time with a five-dollar, one-day, guest badge and then it became one of the highlights of my Summers in Milwaukee. After leaving Milwaukee, I only went three more times because it’s a real pain in the ass: getting a hotel room namely. Personally, I don’t think it’s the same ever since it moved to India-no-place. D&D is a big piece of Milwaukee and Wisconsin’s history yet it was their fault to let it leave, the Beer City refused to keep pace with the convention’s continued annual growth.
I also wanted to give advance notice over at least one upcoming outage for Picayune. I will finally start making the changes for I guess what will become version 4.0 or maybe Volume VI? My friend Jeremy will be helping me install the pieces necessary for Drupul which will coexist with the Blojsom. Eventually the goal is to “flip a switch” to have it all done through Drupul. Meanwhile, I need to back up the Mini in case something goes south. I decided to start now because most of Europe is on vacation in August, why not my website?
