So far we're in the new house and exploring around the neighborhood.

Now that I'm back at work again, and actually working from the office, I'm anxious for the weekend to get here. I have a lot of work to finish up.

FOMS (The Fallout 3 Mod Sorter) is being rewritten, as I've said, and as a prerequisite I'm working on completing my implementation in AutoHotKey. Expect that next week, and hopefully a new FOMS version shortly thereafter.

After that, and several other currently in-development AHK classes, hopefully my heavily-neglected and rewrites will be underway.

Look for more news about that soon.

is both my newest and one of my oldest songs. I started it immediately after releasing Killing Nothing several years ago. It went by several names since then... originally titled Broken Machine, it was changed to in about two years ago, and shortened up to just last year.

The base track is the same one I've been working off of from the start. As a result, it will be my most polished work to date; although that's still not very polished as far as how I'd like it to be. I've re-mixed a lot of the tracks to fit better in the over time, and added and removed several things. The last piece I'm finishing up on are the vocals. Finding just the right vocals to go with the mood and visions I had for the proved very difficult over time, and the words only recently started coming to me.

It's turning out to be my favorite yet. Followed closely by Stolen and then Destroy. You can check out all of my released tracks on the Broken site.
