Relatives, Ultima Online and Web Design.
Today I visited my Mum and siblings, since I haven’t seen them for awhile. Actually, I’m still there, but because my whole family is very tech-oriented, I’m allowed to be on the computer while I’m here and they still count it as time spent with them. Plus, my Mum is trying to get the yo-yo on speed (otherwise known as Katie) to sleep, and, well.. that just isn’t a very pretty sight.
I’ve enjoyed my visit so far, although coming home always reminds me of how much I miss them, and how many things I’m not a part of any more. I’m just the older sister who lives away from home now, and I don’t hold as big a place in the family any more. I used to think the girls would still idolise me, and that my relationship with my family wouldn’t change. How very wrong I was!
I play two Ultima Online shards, neither one regularly, and I think the time has come to kind of choose one, and leave the other. They both have advantages and disadvantages, and I’m not looking forward to choosing, but it’s reached the point where I’m actually getting frustrated at the differences between them. Like, I’ll be on one and I’ll be wishing I had some of the features that the other has, and vice versa. We’ll see.
I finished the graphic design for my Mum’s blog a few days ago, and now I just have to code it. I don’t think it will be that difficult, because I basically just have to code the webpage and stick Wordpress elements into it. I hope it goes smoothly, and it doesn’t turn out lovely in Firefox and ripped to pieces in Internet Explorer.
