I've down loaded live writer. It does not show up anywhere. When I go the 'download more stuff from MS' page it tells me that I already have writer. But there is no response to clicking on any of the places where it says 'writer' on that page.
And when I go to the blog and right click, (Where it used to say 'paste', which is, after all, what I'm trying to do) I get the drop down menu with the 'blog using windaz live' option on it. And when I click on that, it just takes me back to the 'download more stuff from MS' page.
So, now blogger is broken (yes it is broken. a function that worked perfectly a fortnight ago, [the ability to paste documents and hyerlinks] has ceased to function). And the recommended fix, live writer, appears for all the world to be a circular reference to something that I've downloaded but cannot access.

I've lost !
Not a game, of course. I don't actually play fortykay...
I was looking for some banners I had done, and could not find them. I also appear to have misplaced all of my Hvy Wpn teams. Yeah, all of them. They are not where I thought they ought to be.
So tomorrow night I will scour the garage and see if I can find some missing stuff.

Modest but satisfying progress 3
This piece will be a sort of "Wall of Heros" with bits of wire hanging out perpendicular to the wall, supporting a load of banners (I have some left from our RT days and can down load more from t'web). My aspiration is that this will be quite a long piece, with ruined wall at the ends and old tattered banners amongst the rubble.
I am contemplating this actually being the back of it; the other side has less detail and therefore the interest generated by the banners will not have to compete with the detail on the kit.

Modest but satisfying progress 2
I had some flying butress bits left over from the pegasus gothic building kits. So, in a sort of brain fart kind of way I threw this together and topped it off with CoD walls. Now, as a building, this could have a conceivable purpose (a ritual purpose, for fans of time team). I could put a ladder up the inside and a hatch in the floor, but it'd sort of spoil the aestetic.
So despite it not really having a purpose in a normal building sort of way, it will make a great place for a unit in a city fight. So, I'll fill the holes, mount it and it'll join the painting queue.
This is the pegasus building I was looking at a few weeks ag0. Now that the weather is better and it's light a little longer my Monday night is not confined to splashing paint over the little men. All of these 'modest but satisfying progess #' posts were the work of one Monday evening. And when the light did go, I was able to watch two episodes of "Firefly". One of the apoc generals has loaned me the boxed set and it's really similar to our old traveller adventures.
This is it with the large peice of foam core from the picture above trimmed down to fit. Two more peices have been cut to fit around the columns at the end and fill the gaps. The balsa (firework tails) has been cut to reinforce the floor. Another peice of old firework has been drilled and pinned to provide an apex for the roof. This beam means that I don't have quite so much jiggery pokery to do when I make the roof. And the sides could be seperate...

This is it with the floor the correct way up. You can see from the angle of the gable end that the roof is supposed to come down to the wall on the inside of the lugs for the top of the columns. Fortunately the Pegasus and CoD sets have enough gargoyles to decorate the column tops, bit I suspect that I shall have to cut the lugs off.

Modest but satisfying progress 1
Here's the roof for the tower. Now I have the shape I can use this to cut the plasticard tiled roof to the right shape.
I plan on leaving the roof removable, in case it gets shot off during a game. So the tower will obviously be needing a floor for the snipers/devistators/pathfinders.
The floor wasn't particularly co-operative when it came to staying in place. So I drilled holes in the walls and pushed a couple of lengths of wire through for the floor to rest on. The masking tape and block on the left of the photo are just there to retain the wire (and glue) when the section is on its side waiting for the glue to set.

blogger
OK. It appears I cannot now paste into blogger from my clip board at all. Not links nor documents. What has changed ? I'm doing exactly the same thing.
Death to the IT Geeks !
It's let me paste the word.doc in the comments bit, of course. How silly of me, from now on I'll just put headlines up here and expect everyone to read through the comments to see what I actually wanted to post. >aaaargh<
(Pasting into the comments box has upset the formatting so it won't actually be in there.)
I'll keep trying.
