Mar 29 08 Site Update & Other Things

The last few days has found me back in the Office working on some side projects. The Guild of Fine Artists site is slowly coming together, with the news of WordPress 2.5 being released today I should be able to implement the new version and improve some features.
Also launched a newer build of Beneath that will eventually tie into the D’ni Jazz Club site more when the new DJC build is released.

Need to sort the forums out and add more means for people to locate the posts they are looking for.

I had been trying to contact the members of the DRC in order to get some interviews with them for a special issue of The Firemarble, unfortunately they were unable to be contacted.

Some structural issues have cropped up in the pub downstairs, nothing major or life threatening, it has presented an opportunity to work on enlarging the area and adding new things. Joe has got a team together to head up the project hopefully they will be along soon with the equipment needed.

Area 0003 has been under continued observation and seems to have stabilized. Designs have been finalized and are up for approval by the council. I am expecting it to pass and work can begin, I shall need to organize a supply trip, given the nature of this Age we are going to need some specialized materials, hoping I can find information on Nara to work with.

Mar 17 08 Ter’ni Map

Ter'ni Map

Found some time to draw up a map of Ter’ni (as a whole) from the data and images Sophie got from her experiments with helium ballons (ala this).

The images showed us a few places of interest that we have marked up on our plans to explore, will probably send a team of individually, we have been talking with Rob about hiring new people specifically to create paths to these places we want to look into.

Mar 4 08 Cleft Window

Work is progressing nicely with the window for The Cleft. Had to re make the symbol for the Journey however, the version I had envisioned in my design did not work out as I had expected.

The Cleft Stained Glass Window

I have been having some trouble trying to acquire the pieces I did for Eder Tsogahl and Eder Delin back from the DRC. In the end I decided that I would rather use all new developed windows for the Age and not include the restored windows. Which works for me seeming the new windows take a different approach to resembling the Ages/Areas, instead of being a representational view that was deployed in the Delin and Tsogahl pieces, I am working from actual KI images taken in the various locations.

I think the initial count of 15 windows was incorrect, I have a feeling if all the pieces are made as planned it may be more, fortunately the plans for the area is pretty big so we should be able to fit them all in.

There should be 26 windows, maybe more if we included the Quest that Dr. Watson took but I am not sure whether that should factor in or not.
