Rants and Stuff / Re: Should I Move to Idaho Falls?
« on: September 29, 2005, 09:02:21 PM »
Idaho Falls isn't a bad place to go.  Fall and Spring are great . . . the summers are nice . . . the winters stink.  Melaleuca is a pretty good company.  I've heard both good and bad about it, though.  I get the impression that they're a little stingy with their workers' time--but that was from people who worked in the call center.

I would personally send out more resumes and see if I get any more job offers before committing to anything, and then make a decision.  Good luck!

Chimera: I didn't have a problem with the magic system in your Aive story . . . I just wanted to see more of it!  Oh, by the way, I just got back from Island Park--we were picking huckleberries.  Didn't see any HB Rangers, though. :(

Ookla: Oops, I kinda left off my name.   Thanks for pointing that out.  I've updated that post.

Site News / Re: Introduce yourself - right on!

Okay, my name's Isaac.  (Not Issac, as a lot of people think it is.)

I've been lurking long enough, and Chimera mentioned I should introduce myself, so here I am.  I've already met a lot of you guys in real life.  I was an inactive member of TLE for quite a while--right before EUOL became editor.  I came off and on for a few years, so I have faces to put with a few of the names around here, but I don't expect all ya'll from TLE to remember me.  I was pretty quiet.  Hmm, I also know Ms. Fish and Chimera and EUOL and Tage in RL.

Since I really don't have an occupation at the moment (I was an animator for a few years . . . my only claim to fame) I'd have to say that I'm currently employed as a professional procrastinator.  It doesn't pay very much, but it keeps me from getting too busy.

Chimera: Yup, that little drawing is something I did a few years ago for a children's meteor math game I worked on at my old job.  I loved doing the explosions when the ships blew up.  I agree with EUOL--your avatar is pretty cool, but if you want another, I wouldn't mind whipping something up.

e: Glad you like the nickname!  It's my favorite keyboard combo.  I'm thinking about basing a magic-system on it. Ctrl-z is the bad magic, and "up, up, down, down, A, B, A, B, start" is the good magic.

We ship North American copies to the Philippines . . . that's why they're part of North American rights.  (No one in their right mind translantes any kind of fiction into Tagalog, anyway.  Now I'm going to prove that I'm not in my right mind by translating the last line of the Elantris Prologue. "Natapos ang buhay na walang hanggan noong sampung taon."  It flows better in English.  The Filipinos realize this and buy the English copies whether they understand them or not.)
