“I love deadlines. I love the whooshing noise they make as they go by.”
Douglas Adams
Welcome to the first diary entry for 2021! As the quote above suggests, my deadline for this month flew right by me. I had planned for this month’s entry to be all about knighthood and the kingsguards, tying it all together with real examples of how it all works together with Jaime’s and Lora’s kingsguard leitmotifs. Alas, my usual laundry list of tech related problems has somehow gotten bigger, and with a few hours left to publish this month’s entry I have made the last minute decision to not rush it and save them for next month, making Knighthood and Kingsguard the only new pages on the website this month.
The good news is that next Monday I will be getting new extra RAM sticks for my PC that will (hopefully) limit the amount of crashes I get per hour when rendering tracks, and the much-awaited graphic tablet to start adding illustrations to the site. So, this means Music of Ice and Fire’s 1st anniversary will see a lot of new content next month! (unless I blow the dead line again, as seems to be in keeping with our beloved George). See you then!
