It’ll be a month in the new apartment, tomorrow. Really liking the new digs… about to go take pictures so you can enjoy vicariously.

Also, been playing an online game called “Travian” a lot. It’s sort of like Civ + Sim City over the web, but with a much larger timeframe. Essentially you have a bunch of resource fields surrounding your village, such as iron and crops. You use these resources to upgrade the other resources (and use crops to maintain them, sort of like currency) as well as build new village buildings. Eventually your village is large enough for you to build troops to go conquer other players’ villages.

What’s cool is there’s a time lag involved. Upgrading a single item can take from 3 minutes to 15 minutes to an hour (this can be reduced by building and upgrading other things). So basically you can log in after you wake up, upgrade something, then check it around noon and upgrade some more stuff, then again later on. It’s not like you have to sit and micromanage for hours at a time. Kind of cool.

Lastly, I finally signed up at Twitter. I don’t post a lot, there, but if you want you can follow me.
