As milestones go, this is the big one: I finally finished the last illustration for Part One of <em>The Toaster With TWO BRAINS<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">For the moment, I&#8217;ll ignore the fact that I still have three inventory illustrations to go; and having ignored that so successfully, I&#8217;ll pretend that I don&#8217;t expect to redo ten to fifteen of the illustrations I&#8217;ve already done; and while this ignoring thing is going <em>so very well<\/em> I will also neglect to remember that with all the art done I&#8217;ll still have a few weeks worth of debugging and finishing to do on the web site. And extras, like desktop wallpapers, to make.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Hey! Ignorance<em> really is<\/em> bliss!<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">On the other fronts I am pointedly <em>not looking at the trailer <\/em>because I&#8217;ve looked at it so much I can&#8217;t really see it any more. It&#8217;s pretty close to being finished. But I need to look at it with fresh eyes so that I&#8217;m sure what changes I still need to make.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">I have a test book coming from the printer to work out any kinks in the printing process&#8230; so that once the art is really, definitely done I can put together the print version.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">And I&#8217;ve continued to work on the Pulp Sci Fi Title Generator I put together for the <em>Thrilling Tales<\/em> web site&#8230; it&#8217;s continued to improve and it&#8217;s gotten a spiffy graphical facelift. And I&#8217;ve even made a Mini Title-O-Tron that people can install in the sidebars of their own blogs or web sites, if they like: I want to do a Facebook app version but so far whenever I look at their docs, my brain hurts.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">So I guess I can take a deep breath for a bit, at which point I&#8217;ll need to stop ignoring those things I mentioned above, get them done, and try to catch all these balls I&#8217;m juggling at about the same time so that I can launch the site.<\/p>\n<a href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onClick='popup_2016_setup(\"https:\/\/www.webomator.com\/popups\/big_thrilling_nat_gwen_tower.jpg\",900,455);'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.webomator.com\/grafx2\/blog\/thrilling_nat_gwen_tower.jpg\" alt=\"Rockets over Iceland\" width=\"501\" height=\"260\" border=\"0\"><\/a><br \/><br \/>\n<p><em><strong>Update:<\/strong> the Thrilling Tales of the Downright Unusual web site is now alive (alive, I tell you!) at <a href=\"http:\/\/thrilling-tales.webomator.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">thrilling-tales.webomator.com\n<\/a><\/em>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okey Doke.
