After a prolonged course of orifice evacuation with the distilled biofluids of the Tinginian Bloatworm, and the ingestion of some immuno-enhancing Cocoa Bars, I am gradually returning to a normal level of function. Although I’m still behind, I’ve managed to catch up with a few things:
- The Backer’s Wall on the main website is complete. (Please feel free to contact me if there is a problem with your entry.)
- The standard eBadge is now available for download. (Those in an eligible reward tier, please see your personal messages on the Kickstarter website for the link.)
- I’ve redesigned this blog so it’s readable.
- The executive backer eBadge design is nearly finished, as are the certificates. I hope to send these out before the end of January.
As for the writing, I came up with a background story arc that I could use as a setting for the book, but it turns out that Frontier has been thinking of using the same themes to develop the Elite: Dangerous game in the future. I have to see if I can get my ideas to gel with what Frontier are planning, which is what I’m going to do next.
Now I’m feeling vaguely human I can’t wait to get my imagination into gear. So, until next time, remember Commanders: a shiny undercarriage is a healthy undercarriage.




Good job on the new theme/layout, much better. Hope you get rid of the plague soon.
Thanks. As you rightly pointed out, the old design really wasn’t working and needed changing.
As of today, I am now officially 7/9ths fully human and so fit enough to return to active duty.
Yikes! that worm / arm photo is stomach churning, hopefully a new article will appear very soon to bump it out of view!!!!
Otherwise, a very neat looking site. congrats!
Well, in the Kickstarter I promised some gritty fiction so I thought I’d offer the odd gritty picture to keep you going until the book’s release :-) , but, yes, it is pretty grim.
