Brain, brain

My brain is basically broken right now.

I have lots that I should be doing; that article about sheetless roleplaying, for example.

I annotated and posted another zine on my site this morning, but I could do another one. I do have it scanned. But I just can't bring myself to do it.

Maybe I should take a walk and get some lunch. But I hear that it's unbearably hot outside, and the air quality is supposed to be positively lethal.

Random note: I found a ton of old zines and editorials and other material on my computer, including a one-shot Babylon 5 zine that I'd completely forgotten. Unfortunately they're all in Publish-It 4.0 format, and while I can open them and print out hardcopies, every time I try to print them to Acrobat format I get this:


I can print out hardcopies and scan them, but then the text won't be searchable or indexable...and it's a lot more work. Plus I can't edit the zines for typos.

*sigh*

Zine sneakiness

I don't know why I'm bothering to write this, but what the hell.

Since I'm scanning the remaining zines that I'm posting on my site, the text will obviously not be searchable or indexable by search engines. So to counteract that, I'm putting fairly detailed lists of contents on the main page - including the full names of everyone whose zine I commented on in that issue. It's my hope that if any of them do a vanity search for their own names, they'll stumble across my site and maybe get in touch with me.

I did a bit of Googling, and most of those old contributors seem to have kind of disappeared. Or aren't active online, anyway.
