My enthusiasm for writing on synaesthetic has waned in the last few years. I honestly can&#8217;t give a single answer as to why. Part of it is after being treated for my sleep apnea, i&#8217;ve become a different person. Part of it is i&#8217;ve allowed myself to get drawn in and distracted by gaming. Another aspect is that sometimes i don&#8217;t know what to say anymore.<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nI&#8217;m trying to make some changes in my life. Living up here it&#8217;s easy to get drawn into the winter. For a while, it&#8217;s dark by 4.30, sunrise near 8. It&#8217;s bright when i go to work now, the cherry trees are in full bloom, life is starting to spread again and it&#8217;s easier to shake off the winter blah&#8217;s. I&#8217;m determined to paint more, read more and game less. <\/p>\n<p>But i do love gaming. <a href=\"http:\/\/tf2projectmayhem.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Team Fortress 2 server<\/a> i&#8217;ve spent hours upon hours on is a blast. Adelle and me spent hours on WoW last autumn and i love it when Shelly and me can play Battlefield 2, 2142 or more recently, Bad Company 2. And to that end, i can take some consolation in that the best gaming i&#8217;ve done has been because i was having fun socializing at the same time. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a year since i updated the front page. It&#8217;s time to start taking care of synaesthetic again. My coding skills are rusty and i&#8217;m constantly having to relearn most of my CSS, but like the unfolding spring outside, i&#8217;m determined to make synaesthetic flourish again. A little here, a little there&#8230; and maybe, if i&#8217;m lucky, synaesthetic.com will be the unwieldy, inconsistent and unmanageable turd it was before i wiped it all out and started over.
