I have to make some application changes and get them tested today so I can complete the implementation tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s only the THIRD time I&#8217;ve made these changes&#8230; and overwritten the files with the previous versions as a result of a semi-related operation. No biggie, since now I know EXACTLY what changes to make, without any of the by-guess-and-by-gosh futzing around. Which means the actual work will go smoother now.<\/p>\n<p>But in the back of my head is the realization that here we are, the first of the month again, and I&#8217;ve only JUST started putting the May issue of The Zero Card together! I guess some things never change, eh?<\/p>\n<p>On the good side, I did the shoot for The Queen of Swords card. My friend Lynne agreed to model for me, but since she&#8217;s not into the Goth or Fetish things, we went with a bit more traditional look. She&#8217;s into the SCA, so we were able to do something with that and the costumes she had. We went out to a nearby park after work last Wednesday, and I shot both film and digital. We were done about 8, then I took a break for dinner, and I had the COMPLETED CARD IMAGE finished by 1:00 am!!<\/p>\n<p>Have I mentioned lately that I ***LOVE*** my new digital camera??<\/p>\n<p>I still have to write the main article, and fill the rest of the issue with stuff&#8230; shouldn&#8217;t be too hard this month with everything going on and a few things I have banked. But the trick is going to be thinking of that Heart-breaking Bitch, the Queen of Swords!<\/p>\n<p>Ooooops, there&#8217;s the boss!
