Back in Norway. Back to snow, cold weather, and work.

I'm wiped out. Jet-lagged, haven't slept much in the past few days, and there's tons of stuff to do. Christmas vacation is looking sweeter by the day. Just another few weeks to go, and then three whole weeks of bliss...and work. Private stuff, not work work.

Not that work isn't good. It is. I can't say much about it, but I'm having fun. It's just good to get a break and do something different. Clear the mind.

I read on your journal that you aren’t involved with the storyline of AO anymore. What happened? Why does it seem like the entire game is being run by a different group of people than who worked on it originally. Like for instance whatever happened to Tommy Strand? (I believe that was his name)

People move on, and that's usually a Good Thing. Change is important. Fresh blood, new initiatives, new teams -- AO will continue to thrive. Besides, the game's still run by its original game director, Gaute Godager, so there's a large degree of consistency. Tommy Strand, AO's ex-producer, is actually sitting in the same office as me. As for what he's working on, I can't tell you. But he's very much involved.  ¶ 15:11
