\"ThrillingYes, it’s been very quiet at the Web-O-Blog, for reasons that should be obvious to those who’ve been reading it: I’m down to a very short list of things to do at the new Thrilling Tales of the Downright Unusual<\/em> web site and I think that it’s shaping up awfully well.<\/p>\n

At left is one of the images from the site’s Help page, where we see call-outs for:<\/p>\n

A. <\/strong>The illustration. When you click on it, a larger version pops up in a draggable window (see the second picture)<\/em>;
\nB. <\/strong>The save\/restore panel where you use bookmarks within the stories;
\nC.<\/strong> The character portrait for whichever character you’re currently following;
\nD.<\/strong> The menu of options for what you’d like to do next in the story;
\nE.<\/strong> The Inventory panel, where you can click on an object to learn more about it in another pop-up window. Those are draggable, reloadable, and can be layered with the illustration pop-up in a bevy of ways that are really cool for me, but probably less entertaining for anybody else.<\/p>\n

As it stands, I’ve probably only got a couple of more days worth of work on the site itself. But it gets a little more complicated since I’m expecting the second – and probably <\/em>final – proof of the book version, and it’s only when I approve that proof that the book can go on sale. So I won’t be able to hook up the purchasing links until that happens. The trailer has a similar dependency – I’ll need to re-export it and upload it to YouTube \"A(and maybe elsewhere) and I can’t embed it or link to it until that’s done.<\/p>\n

I also need to order some of the books myself, since one way I’m selling them is directly from me.<\/p>\n

So there are a couple of possible bottlenecks and a few dependencies yet to resolve. Unless something unexpected happens I figure that the Thrilling Tales <\/em>site should launch around April 23rd – and very possibly sooner.<\/p>\n

Oh. And the IRS. I haven’t quite got around to my tax forms yet.<\/p>\n

Anyway there’s as much stuff as I could shove into the site – desktop wallpapers, screensavers, a version of the random Title-O-Tron<\/em> that you can install at your blog or web site, and… um, I forget what else. It’s neat, trust me.<\/p>\n

And someday soon it’ll even be finished!<\/p>
