I have been a documentation writing machine this week. A *machine*, I tell you. I rewrote/restructured a nice big juicy chunk of the online Help.

It's strange that in our modern technological era, the best tools I have found for visualizing overall document structure are a couple of sheets of graph paper, a stack of Post-It notes, and a fountain pen. (Well, it doesn't have to be a fountain pen, but Parker blue-black ink looks great on yellow Post-Its. Just so you know.)

Anyway, this documentation-machine-ness may explain the lack of postings this week, because at the end of the day, I've generally had it with the process of trying to string together words in sensible order. So, I've been spending my evenings:

• drinking coffee


• talking with Daniel (ability to string words together in a sensible order apparently optional for this - Daniel is very patient with my incoherence, bless him)


• reading the second book in Naomi Novik's Temeraire series (so far, it is not as good as His Majesty's Dragon)


• watching the British sitcom Coupling. (It's hilarious. Really. Are American sitcoms this funny, and I just never noticed? Or is Coupling doing something special? NBC made an American version of Coupling, and it tanked and was cancelled after 4 episodes. So there must be something strange going on here.)

Tonight I'm going to the Legion of Rassilon meeting, and I'll get to see the next two episodes of Doctor Who: "Gridlock" and "Daleks in Manhattan". Wheee!

Then, I'm off to BayCon. Where I will see some old friends, meet some new ones, and probably spend too much money in the dealer's room.

What with one thing and another, I probably won't get to post again until Monday at the earliest. But expect a reaction post on the two Doctor Who episodes, and some observations about BayCon.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend, everyone!
