Moving...

Spent most of the day setting this up. The blog is moving to Wordpress! Please update your bookmarks or feeds if you have any.

Plans

Been working on re-calibrating some of the D'ni sensors. These holes are messing with them. For now I'm going to move them out of the City until I can figure out what is going on in my City instance.

I'm also drawing up some plans for some future ages. Rumor has it that there are some people working to get explorer-written ages approved for distribution. It'll be interesting to see what happens. I have a number of plans going on. Just started working with the people at Subterranean Restorations. Said they had a project I could be useful on. I'll keep this blog updated on it, but they aren't letting me say anything. Suffice to say structural integrity is going to be an enormous challenge. Kingsley also said he'd be willing to help out with supplies for my other ages, but I'll have to report to him. Fun times. Wonder if I can get Clarke interested too. Maybe he can distract Kingsley long enough for me to get something done.

Thinking about getting a self-contained music player into Maw. Also working on some more tests in Fens before I open it up to more people. I'm still not quite sure about the environment quality. Especially the water.

Pools of Nothing

They appeared in my instance of the City a few days ago. Starting off usually as specks the size of a grain of rice or small cracks in the rocks. In the last day, however, I noticed that they have grown dramatically. What's stranger still is that every instrument or device I put up to them registers absolutely nothing. That is, when they choose to register at all. The KI goes haywire around them too. The largest ones in particular. I managed to snap a couple of pictures of them. They only appear in the instance of the cavern I was forced into some months ago (the surface link is unaffected as it leads to the "real" earth, so far as I can tell). The neighborhoods, the great shaft, the City, the Zero, everywhere. Pools of nothing. Nothing beyond, nothing in, just nothing. No sound, almost all devices cease working around them. They're even hard to see. Like they're there, but you don't recognize them. Yet they're solid too. I dropped a firemarble on one to see what would happen, and it simply bounced off.

Company

Something else is in my instance of the City, I'm positive of it. Just odd things like boxes of supplies opened or missing. I think I'll set up a camera sometime to see if I can find out what it is.

Also, I've noticed something strange just recently... They're odd little cracks in the buildings and rocks. Not many, I've just found five so far, but they're strange because the inside is white. Seems stable, though, so I won't worry about it.

Got it finally. Needs some work, but what matters is that it's working now.

Camera

Setting up a camera in Maw today. The camera's in place and broadcasting, but I've yet to pick up the signal with the hardware.
