Nice early start today, which is good. I really do better if I have a nice block of uninterrupted time first thing, then even if I get many interruptions and issues, I have a good solid bit of work done no matter how the rest of the day goes to hell.

Today I'm working on a shopping cart to make it look like the client's design. I have to do a bit of template hacking, but that's no big deal.

The weather continues so warm that we used the grill last night and just had hamburgers rather than try to cook inside. I played Deus Ex last night and had a really good time with it. I'm focusing on stealth and non-lethal takedowns, and was particularly pleased with a couple of things I did. The first was that there were three soldiers in a room, and I knocked them out without them even knowing I was there, I used a gas grenade for the two who were together and tranked the other.

Another room had two soldiers that I tranked through a grate, again before any of them realized I was there.

The third thing was that I was able to turn off two robots because I've been putting my Praxis (my experience points) heavily into the hacking augments, and when I got to the rampaging robots, I was able to spend the Praxis point I had earned for the final hacking item, "Control Robots".

I left our intrepid hero hiding in the vents in the Picus building so I'm in a great spot to start again tonight. And on that note, back to work!

Bonus entry to help make up for those few days I missed.

Yet another long day today, but happily, the big super-emergency rush project is complete. I'm now working on project that was temporarily shoved aside for the super-emergency project, and it's moving along steadily--I am just about done with the scripting. As I warned the project manager, though, at that point it was after 6pm, I had started at 8:30 and when I crapped out, I crapped out and the rest would have to wait until morning.

Still, one thing finished. Hopefully I'm up nice and early again tomorrow.

Onward and upward!
