I don't post much of substance on FB -- mostly blog links and produce pix. I think I'm more present on Twitter although I'd have to double-check to see how much I actually post. It's easy to get the "one-way glass" effect and think that because you're reading, that you're part of the conversation.

The podcast remastering is only the first step. For each episode I also have to revise the show notes (that get attached to the episode in podcast feed), revise the associated blog/transcript to include the new episode number and point the link to the new location, revise the podcast index page with the link to the new location, and of course actually upload the revised episode to the new podcast account (which I have to set up). Some of these are things that work most efficiently if I do all of that particular task in the same session, but of course several of them require getting the episode uploaded first (so I have the new link).

I think the most fun thing about making camp furniture was the years I'd spend designing the perfect object before I started on the physical aspect. In the end, some items of furniture weren't what I'd designed at all, but what made sense in the moment. For example, the "kitchen cabinet in the form of a sideboard dresser" had been in the planning stages for years when I realized that I could convert an existing piece of IKEA furniture for a lot less effort. And I never did make my four-poster canopy camp bed.

While I enjoyed making things, a lot of it was enjoying *having* the things for the purpose of "gracious tourney living". At home, without the goal of trying to have a medieval setting, I don't need to build things myself to get what I want. Also: I pretty much have all the furniture I need and can fit.

But I enjoy making things, and when I make things, I want to have the right tools and a good workspace. Whether it's just a matter of putting together frames for a new set of raised beds or something more ambitious.
