Neverwinter Nights 2, Tired and Work Stuff

I worked with the Neverwinter Nights 2 toolset over the weekend. I converted an old TSR module for Neverwinter 1, and it really helped me learn how to use the toolset/editor. I thought converting the same module would be minimize work not related to learning about the new toolset.

The two screen shots here represent my initial at creating the external of the shirne that players will see at the end of the module. I am pretty happy with how they look. I've built a few other areas. The toolset is powerful and complicated. I have a lot to learn, but I am enjoying myself so far.

On an unrelated note, I am tired. My eldest son is serving as an acolyte at Church each day this week. I am excited and proud, but we are getting up about 30-45 min earlier to get him where he needs to be on time. UGH! I am exhausted. I need some coffee.

I have I busy week at work too. This Friday Chapter Executives from around the world will visit ISA. I will speak briefly to them on Friday, hang around for meet & greet dinner, and then go back on Saturday for lunch to help with any IT questions they might have. One week from Friday, I will install new hardware, specifically a firewall and anti-spyware/anti-virus appliance. We've got outside help, which should help the installation go as smoothly as possible.

Cold

I have a cold, or perhaps a virus, and it is quite cold today. It was freezing when I woke up and has reached 43 degrees now (about 11am). Regarding my cold, it's not bad, I am just tired and feel groggy. It's a little hard to concentrate.

There are a few sick people at work, and I took my 4 year old to the doctor yesterday, so I could have picked something up from a variety of sources.

Hall of Fame Module

The last module I wrote for Neverwinter Nights, Eye of the Serpent, made the Hall of Fame on Neverwinter Vault. The module is posted here.

Someone is reading my blog!

Someone is actually reading my blog! I didn't know anyone was, but my cousin, Chris Gould, posted a comment yesterday. It really made my day to hear from him and be back in touch with him.

On another note, I am tired. I was up WAY to late. I was invited to be interviewed from a Neverwinter Nights module I wrote that made the hall of fame on Neverwinter Vault I wrote answers to the interview questions and have my wife and friend proofing and commenting on them. I'll post them soon.

SQL Server Issues

We did some network maintenance for work last weekend. We hit a problem after changing the serivce account SQL runs under to an account with least permissions. We fixed it this week, but I'm not sure why the fix worked. I'm trying to research it. More on the issue and resolution can be found here.
