I have no complaints about working from home so far, although it’s inevitable that I will go insane from lack of human contact. Until then, I’ve been busy writing code and playing with the dog.

This morning the Tools of Change blog published my post on collaborative online fiction, highlighting some interactive fiction projects.

I’ve been enjoying getting back into the Processing language by using the threepress books to create movies. For the subsequent projects I want to play with NextText, which looks like a fantastic library for working with text in Processing. And then there’s the astonishing Processing.js port of the entire language to JavaScript.

Let me say how bizarre it is to see my site in someone else’s screenshot.

The fun part’s almost over, though, as it’s getting to be time to hit people up for real jobs.  As long as I can still take the dog to the park every day, I can deal.

I’ve started a development blog for my open source publishing software project, threepress.org. I’ll use it to post news and software releases.  I’ve got a backlog of posts to make describing the various features in more detail.

I was this close to setting up the blog on a hosted service like blogspot rather than installing WordPress directly on my own subdomain. Then I recalled that the main point of threepress is to illustrate my technical skills, and not my laziness.
