So need to keep it short this week. Because life has caught up with me and given me a good spanking. Some big financial asset management company think the latest release of their front office software is more important than the desert city of Gorodin and the thousand year old plot to destroy it. I don't think trying to explain will help.

I'm not even sure there is anything from the asset manager software release that I can use for inspiration. Can I perhaps incorporate a pointless dispute over which team performs the database refresh into Sharmal's struggle to save his home and family. I think not.

But on the plus side the release is next week, so maybe once that it done, workload will die down, and Chapter 2 will gain momentum again. Another week another opportunity (to mess up!)
