It’s Valentine’s Day. Well, night, actually. And I’m sitting in my study typing away, listening to CASSETTE<\/a>. Awesome South African band. Gonna go far.<\/p>\n

S is doing a dress rehearsal of MACBETH at the Civic Theatre in Braamfontein<\/a>. Opening night is on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

[Update: I just realised… Wednesday is tomorrow! I’ve been thinking today is Monday.]<\/p>\n

Yeehaaa! I’ve got my ticket. And I’ve even put a note on my palmtop reminding me where I’ve stashed the ticket. (In the back of my Moleskine, if you’re wondering.)<\/p>\n

Today was scripting day for a client. I met with Bryce late morning for a brainstorming session. He and I are collaborating on a piece of Flash animation for a company seeking vast amounts of money to launch a new company. It’s a delicious project, and we’re both having tons of fun. I love this stuff, man.<\/p>\n

Of course, doing the scripting DID keep me at Mugg & Bean in Cresta for the better part of a working day today. I sent the draft off, and the client loved it, with some suggested changes. I’ve just finished implementing some of those changes, and also arguing against certain of them.<\/p>\n

What I love about this particular client is that he’s amazingly broad-minded and creative in his own right. So he speaks sense when he speaks. And he isn’t stuck in his ego. It’s very gratifying doing work with a client like this.<\/p>\n

So happy Valentine’s Day night. I’ll be waiting up for S to get home from the theatre. It’ll be post-midnight. But I’ve got a little present for her. And yes… it’s something to wear.<\/p>\n

(On another tack, Microsoft maverick, Robert Scoble<\/a>, is doing an experiment to see how the various search engines deal with blogs. He’s asked bloggers around the world to put the word ‘brrreeeport’ into their blogs<\/a> to see whether or not sites like Google main<\/a>, Google blog search<\/a>, Feedster<\/a>, Technorati<\/a>, and IceRocket<\/a> pick up on things.)<\/p>\n
