Happy new year!

I plan on starting off 2004 strong with regular, on-schedule, and better 2214 updates. It's only 210 years from now until 2214. Also, Omnitemporalis should be updated again, probably on a slower schedule than 2214 is.

It was a busy time around the end of the year.... not to mention upgrading / repairing the computer "1337 B4WX", which is used as the workstation for 2214 (drawing, working on the site, FTP, etc). Rendering the Hovercrane in 3D shouldn't take quite so long, and with 2GB it'll take a whole lot more drawing before Photoshop runs out of RAM and crashes.

Last night I had to re-install everything on my file server, too, which I use for backups and mass storage of the music I listen to while drawing. Whew. It has all of the hardware that was removed from my main workstation when I upgraded.

So..... Chapter 4 of 2214 begins to start everything off for the year. The Fumacites are on the run from their prince, who is working with Zetsfir, and has enrolled School Bus, who isn't quite sure who he's really working for yet. Azurat has finally managed to arrive on Kaperth after tracking data from the Morgan's Gate records, and the whole Fumacine Empire's government is surely collapsing by now, since the Prince is working with Zetsfir, now. Ravenna still hasn't quite grasped the situation she's in yet!

So.... in other words, expect an exciting plot this year; and I'll try hard to get Omnitemporalis moving again.

Oh, and please.... if you have a chance at all, log on in the forums and breathe some life into that ghost town of a message board we have here!!!
