I have been almost entirely absorbed over the last three days with office setup, pulling [livejournal.com profile] daerr and [livejournal.com profile] radiotelescope along with me. My apartment is a mess now, but we all have workspaces, more or less, even if rt is the only one with an actual desk per se. (I'm using a wobbly card table for the nonce and d is sharing the nice [livejournal.com profile] dougo-donated dining table with our Windows test machine.)

Much of the mess is giant empty boxes that nice helpful men will make go away a few days hence. Sadly the empty-box creation has cost me a great deal of money. Happily, the company will reimburse me for this (or I will make a personal tax write-off out of it; not sure which yet). Sadly, we're about to take a big hit from the bill that our lawyer will send us soon. Happily, the work he's done will let us accept money from our seed investors under a nice legal shield that should please everyone, and we've come close enough to our seed-money goal (scooping together just under $20K) that we are, in fact, happy, yes.



Expression that I feel simply terrible about liking:

"...and we combine to become Voltron."

It's a maximally dorky and yet perfectly meaningful way to say "when cooperating, our output is greater than the sum of our work as individuals." It's nice all-positive vibes glazed with christ-you-guys-are-nerds.

conceptually, yes. the lots of little toys making one big toy thing is rather cool. the execution however of the vehicle voltron, and i mean in cartoon format, was just ghastly.
