Down...

Omaha and I have definitely come down with something. I don't know what it is, and it doesn't seem to be doing much more to me than a sore throat and a seriously rundown feeling. I wish I could make it go away, but obviously I don't have the energy. I felt so tired I didn't go to the gym yesterday and I probably won't go today. I wish I felt better. Low energy always leads me into depressed avenues of thinking, too. I cannot stand being sick.

Stage 2 Site Conversion underway!

This morning I posted the updated Journal Entries engine to the Pendorwright site. It has a host of new features you've been asking for, including output in raw text, minimal HTML, and Palmdoc formats! Now that I know how it works, I'll be doing the same to the Aimee and Bloody Beth sites sometime in the next week.

Now the bad news: the cleanup has resulted in a few URL changes. The kind of thing that drives Google nuts, unfortunately, meaning it'll probably be a while before they get re-indexed properly. But the root URL is the same, and I've removed the splash page. It was way too old-school.

And, to make you all happier yet, I've scheduled a whole bunch of new stories to be posted over the next couple of months. But, to give you a head start, here are three (three!) new stories:

• 169 / 00896: Connected Electricities
• 116 / 01692: The Forever Promise
• 284 / 05012: A Place In History

Connected Electricities is set on a cruddy little planet last seen in the Vengeance Angel stories, where Kaede & Eshi have landed, and has a slight seven-year-itch feel to it. The Forever Promise is set on the starship Conspiracy Theory, and is the "het" story of the batch. And finally A Place In History shows the afterlife of Duke Conta siss-talek and his existence in a transhuman (transllerkin, really) Hell.
