Hello from Encoded Designs.  There has not been too much activity on the site lately, and I apologize for that.  The holidays turned out to be much busier than I thought, and I had far less time to write, than I thought I would.  Things have been quite busy around here, but all in a good way, as I have had the time at home to get a number of things done, that I have wanted to do.

One of the biggest projects, this vacation, has been the reorganization of my gaming room (aka the Basement).  I planned out the new layout a month ago, and this past week, was able to start working on it.  The results have been dramatic.  The area is totally transformed, and the usability has increased dramatically.  I have spent the past few nights tinkering with parts of the room, doing some final cleanup and organization.  I am showing it off to members of my gaming group tonight, and I am quite proud of it.  I will post some pictures of it later.

As for articles this week, I am getting back on my feet, and will plan to put my Wednesday GTD, and Friday Gaming articles out.  For Wednesday, I will do the final of my Simple GTD articles, covering the Weekly Review.  For Friday, I will post a follow-up to the article two weeks ago: If I Gamed Now Like I Did Then; where I will talk about some of the good things I learned early on in gaming, and how I should remember to do them today.  I also have a few smaller articles in draft, that I did work on during the vacation, and will roll them out over the next few days.  So the site will be buzzing with updates very soon.

I hope you all had a good Christmas, and are looking forward to a New Years.
