Time Lapse

Awake for most of the last 48 hrs but no posts ...
Ironic yet very much me.


Polished up Bifrost (SmoothWall Express 2.0) should keep most Ice Giants at bay awhile longer. Added a Wi/Fi link then lost myself in Age of Mythology during my sleep cycles and re-organized the play area. My little viking has all his stuff in colour coded and image labeled bins. Poor kid but he likes being able to surf from his play area.
At 4 surfing always involved water for me and here he is doing things his elders are nervous about. My dad is nowhere near as comfortable doing.

I seem to prefer the Major Dieties in AOM, I do well as Zeus or Odin, though my next best are Thor and Loki. Isis is my favouirite Egyptian. I build too much I think, I try to get too much power base - on easy level I win hands down, I am unstoppable when I finally advance but even one level up I often get caught with my pants down so to speak. I can run a great delaying campaign and occaisionally recover but I need to arm faster and strike decisively with smaller forces. I think I micromanage too much * rofl *

Well I'm going to sleep tonight though I watched "The Family Man" and got kind of sentimental - kind of feel like I should go kill off some AI civilization in AOM to restore the balance of testosterone but maybe I can deal with it by sleep instead.

AI - My son has been diagnosed as autism spectrum disorder, which really means that he doesn't react the way that they feel is normal, and there is some delay in behaviour and language. the language delay is minimizing daily and the rest if we teach it directly he seems to learn what he wants to but ... is that just my own stubborness in a small body?

Anyway AI Autism Inteventionist is what they call the young lady who comes out an plays social games with him. Activities planned to teach him social skills. Not tantrumming whe we try to wash or cut his hair, Potty training, not asking for hugs from women / girls that he has just met (btw it seems to be very effective from a cute blond 4 yr old "Hi what's your name?" "I'm ....." "Can I have a hug?" maybe he could do the self help book circuit? I see a big market in colleges and tech schools ...)

Anyway I always grin when someone talks about the AI and I do the mental shift it takes to realize they are talking about a real person.
Night has fallen hard and I must take my leave.
