Big Sigh | What a week! It's been a crazy time for me here at home. I will spare you the details right now, except to say that my family seems to have walked into a giant vortex and emerged on the other side a little better off. No, that probably won't make any sense, but it's about the best way I can describe the week without being specific.
This (as well as real-world work) has meant that my activity online hasn't been as high as I'd have liked. But generally things are okay - it hasn't made a whole lot of difference for the most part. Freelance stuff is continuing and everything else is sort of a non-issue at the moment.
I spent much of yesterday experimenting with designs for OtakuBoards. While I have no intention of perpetually leaving the site as it is, I would rather not throw something out there just for the sake of it. Whatever I do has to be a substantial improvement, I think. But still, I have been thinking that I should personalize OB a little more...make it more me. I have some ideas about that, which you'll no doubt see in due course.
I've also realized that OB can't progress without a new staff. Having given this issue great consideration, I think that I'm basically going to have to remove a good 95% of OB's staff and appoint an entirely new group. There are so many reasons for this including people's lack of time/interest/whatever. That's all cool, I mean, it happens. It just means that I'm going to have to sit down with Dagger and be very aggressive in hunting down new staff.
I suppose that at the end of the day, I can give OB a new skin and some new features and that's all good. But I want to do more than that. The site needs to freshen up and change in some other ways. Having a fresh, motivated team behind that effort will only help the progress.
I also need to come up with a domain for myself. I've gone through dozens of names and haven't come across anything I'm terribly interested in. It's important though, because once that domain is secured, I will be able to finalize my own portfolio site and various other stuff. So wish me luck on that. ~_^
That's about it for now. Nothing too interesting I'm afraid.
Oh, except that on Saturday, I saw Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I'm one of those terrible people who saw the film without having read any of the books, but I did find the film to be delightful. There were a lot of fantastic ideas in there - somehow the entire movie reminded me of a dream I've had before. Still, it was good fun. At some point, if time permits, I'd definitely enjoy tracking down the books.
