Boldly Going

I'm off on 2 weeks+ of travel. At the moment, I'm sitting in the Nashville airport, waiting to take off on a two-day flight to New York for FNORD. I come back Sunday, and Monday I leave for a 2-week trip to San Francisco to spend a couple of weeks at the main Linden Lab office (with perhaps a side-trip to the Mountain View office one day).

I've been rather slow blogging the last two weeks because most of my focus and creative energy has gone into getting started up in a new job. I predict this will continue for at least two more weeks as I do all this traveling. I do have at least two different posts in my "mental queue" that I'd like to get out soon, but we'll see.

There is some chance you'll see some fluffy posts about FNORD in the next few days, however....
