I know I haven't updated in a million years (well, a few months at least), so I wanted to write a really quick post to let you all know I am still alive and kicking :)
I like bullet lists, so here's one with updates and other stuff that may (or may not) be of interest:
- PAX was awesome! I met a lot of folks both at the convention and at the meet and greet, and that was a blast. What wasn't a blast was me getting ridiculously sick afterwards and being down for the count for a full week with swine flu. We're talking "multiple trips to the doctor and emergency room" and "so sick I couldn't even play games" ill, too. Yuck. My immune system is fail. A lot of people here and at other studios got knocked out, though, so I'm glad everyone recovered without anything awful happening. Hopefully next year will be more germ-free :)
- We're currently working on some awesomeness for the Guild Wars website, so that's eating a lot of my time (well, along with other stuff of course). So if you're sad that I'm not as active here right now, know it's for a good cause. Also remember that I do always read my talk page, so don't think twice about sending me a message about whatever you'd like.
- Thanks for all of your hard work on the Feedback namespace. While I know it hasn't seen much in the way of dev interaction yet, it definitely hasn't gone unnoticed. We're all really impressed with the way the space is evolving, and even though there may not be a lot of comments, people are checking it out. For something so new and different, I think it's a huge success. So yay :)
- I gave Lins three of my finches (since I was sitting at around 16 of the little guys due to a random flurry of rapid procreation, lol). So now she's also a bird lady. Although definitely not as crazy as I am. I still hold the Crazy Bird Lady crown around here ;)
OK, back to work for me! I'll be back to finish up a batch of requested armor renders and some other stuff later. /waves!

Hi all! I just wanted to give a quick update on stuff since I've been relatively inactive lately (well, with posting at least. I still read and stalk RC during the day and from home ;))
- My time is going to be pretty slim for the next few months, so I'm unfortunately may not have a ton of time to respond quickly to messages. I promise that I will continue to read wiki issues, requests, and other important topics. I may just be a little slow to respond. Just a heads up!
- As an update on the web content writer position I'd posted up here last month, I'm super excited to say that we've found a most excellent candidate! As soon as he gets settled in a bit more, I'll show him the wiki ropes and hopefully get him hooked on GWW too.
- I received word from the team that our wiki staging servers have been upgraded to MW 1.15. There are a few kinks to work out before we push the update live, so I'm going to make sure that they're addressed before we update the live site. I'll start the process of figuring this stuff out today.
- I'm going to be following up pretty heavily on the Feedback namespace over the next few days, as I'm getting a lot of questions about when this area will be re-opened and ready for use. If you guys could all be thinking about when you'd be OK with us opening the namespace up to everyone, that would be awesome!
I think those are the main things right now. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer (well, if it's summer for you right now). Luckily it hasn't been too grossly hot in Seattle. I don't do well in the heat, and neither do my birds. Oh, and speaking of birds: I'll have to update the critter count on my userpage. My finches had more babies! Little guys breed like rabbits. Luckily they are cute (and small).
OK, lunch time for me! /waves
