Well, I’ve made the site presentable enough to let people know where it is, so…

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I introduce Quacked Panes, future home of a webcomic centered on rubber ducks. It combines my desire to dabble in photography, my desire to dabble in website hosting, my desire to make people laugh at bad jokes, and my small (but ever-expanding) collection of ducks. It’s a dilettante’s dream project, I tell you.

I know. There’s nothing there yet. I’ll post a more extravagant notice when the thing actually launches. So, why post anything now? Easy: I seem to work better when there’s an expectant audience. (Which is preferable to an expectorant audience, naturally.) Now that you know it’s there, and I know you know, I have that much more incentive to get this thing off the ground.

Basically, yes, I’m using psychology on myself.

I wholeheartedly approve of, endorse, and covet the UltraDuck.

(Hat tip to Wonderduck. Who else?)

In anticipation of the descending hordes expected for Double XP Rewards Weekend in City Of Heroes, NCSoft released a patch containing a number of fixes. (One wonders at the use of the term “corrected,” however. Looks like a euphemism to me.)

Not to be outdone, another organization seems to have patched their operations somewhat as well. I’m sure there’ll be an outcry about nerfs and balance-breaking changes, but we’ll see how it plays out…
