Big Bada Boom....

The last two weeks have been an overall nightmare; from supply mishaps and bad shipping, to a death in the family that has the entire crew turned on it's ear. Not to mention the various bits and bobs that go bad along the way.
My weekly show was canceled due to a malfunction in the hardware that I am unable to hunt down. Or it is something to do with my broadcasting software. Either way it is now a persistent issue as it occurred the week prior and needs to be sorted out before I pull the plug on the entire 'DJ-gig." Now that brings me to some rather serious topics, I desperately need the storage space that is being used by my music collection as my Textures and Models for my 3D work has exploded again... While this proposition is more than daunting and depressing I fear that it might just be the only way to attempt to regain some Honest sanity and less heart attacks.
Oh yea that is right, I had my 3rd heart attack this past week from 9-05-12. So what ever date that would have been on a Tuesday. Then the headset issues with that show and that is what about set it in concrete.
My 3D work is moving more slow than productive and my 'eye' is all but closed at this point. which brings me back to the chainmaile that is going well. My shipment of coil rods came in just the other day and I am waiting on the Calipers to show up tomorrow according to the tracking.So the next sale or two will be used for Wire and Cutters, the price for a decent pair of compound snips is higher than I ever remember. But that is what can be expected after so many years of not having a fully equipped work shop. I miss that old trailer.
Getting back into my chianmaile is fine with the exception that I can not work as fast as I used to with out letting my hands rest for a while. But the production has never been an issue other than materials to produce from. The promotion is the difficult part, Storefronts are jacking up prices for displays and Circuit vendors want more stock than I have available or could produce with the current stock of Materials, So I am back around to the site and one other Donation to Subspace Radio that has yet to be picked up. IF it is not checked up on soon then I will be forced to retract the offer in favor of sending the pieces to local events where I know the odds of making even a single sale will prove more beneficial that holding on to dusty old shipping envelopes.
Back to my remaining a DJ for Subspace Radio; I will be weighing these options as to what will holds the greatest payout in the end. However, right off the top One was for fun and became a job; the Other started off a goal and fun only to becomes a source of self doubt and belligerence.
All I need is an extra 12 hours on the clock and one more me and I will have every thing set precisely as it needs to be.
That about pulls it all together and lays it out. I have one 3D scene I am working on, but my computer really does not like the new Blender Cycles engine. So i am still working in the new Blender version, just in the old style of Blender Render engine. Once I manage to upgrade my computer, also on the list of stress producers, I will move over to the Blender Cycles engine and learn it's new physics aspects.
Alright so that was not all of it, My pet project as also made a Major change to it's base function that was already planed on just not thought out entirely... So after putting a solid half months dedication to the process, I came to the realization that My original GDD was more accurate that I anticipated and holds twice as much work lined out through the entire setup and base build however if it is worked out the way it is set up the latter works and set ups will be much easier to utilize for the design team; should I ever get an actual helper... lol
So that brings me to C++ and Python; C++ for the eventual creation of a game engine with all preconceptions corner-stoned so that the fleshing out will be that much easier. Should I laugh or cry or both?
"Dream Big and Reach for the Stars." That is what they told me growing up, instead I decide to take nothing and create my own stars and dream small. Give me the choice right now and I would take a place in the country with hardly the heat to survive the winters with out a proper fire.
That covers it all. If not then I might have another heart attack before we move out of here.
