According to the BBC, IE6 has become the Jason Vorhees of the Internet.

Why Jason Vorhees, you ask?

It terrifies you if you see it, it will take a machete to most websites and the occasional running process on your PC, and it WON’T JUST F—ING DIE.

So we here at IQnection can expect calls regarding layout, navigation and cart problems until at least 2014. And by “we” I mean “me” because I’m fielding the bulk of the maintenance calls. Hoo-bloody-ray.

At least there’s job security, right?

Speaking of the job and Jason, the workload’s been pretty murderous of late. I’m getting on top of it, however, and hope to resume my normal blogging schedule next week.

The good thing about having a real job is keeping busy and feeling like a professional, from constructive meetings to wall-banging over client idiocy. The bad thing is less time to invest in things like writing and blogging. I’ve known what I wanted to blog about but haven’t had the time during the day to get it written out. Perhaps I should start drafting posts the night before, if I want to keep my schedule?

Unfortunately pushed to next week are the following:

Monday: True Blood vs. Twilight
Tuesday: Over-Achievement (World of Warcraft post)
Wednesday: Iron Maiden & Guardians

Tonight I’ll draft a recap of my experiences thus far in attempting to get published, and Friday should see some new Jovian fiction.

Back to work. Barely a month in, and already I need to re-shuffle things like recording hours and prioritization. This really does feel like my first real job.

And did I mention Vera, my ’04 Honda Civic, needs work on her electricals?

Fun times.

It’s been too long since I’ve updated this space, and for that I apologize. I think what I need to do is lay out a schedule for updates and stick to it. So, here’s my plan:

Mondays – Movies & Events. Review of movies I’ve seen, news on upcoming features from various sources, discussion of movie tropes, etc. Also, if I attend a special event over the weekend, such as a concert or casino night, I’ll post pictures and/or thoughts on this day.

Tuesdays – Gaming. Discussions on video games, MMOGs, articles of interest from the Escapist, and other related geekery.

Wednesday – Comics. New comic books come out on this day of the week, and currently I’m following Invincible Iron Man, New Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Mighty Avengers and Deadpool. My dad picks up X-Men comics via subscription and I pick up on other comic book news. This might mix with movies a bit given the rise of Marvel studios.

Thursday – Writing. Tips for breaking writer’s block, finding inspiration, writing pitches and tracking down agents.

Friday – Fiction. From the very short works to status of novels. Also notes, thoughts and even sketches if I can teach myself to draw any better than my current doodles.

If I can stick to this, updates should be more interesting and happen more often.
