On morning break from work at the moment.

Still moving along in fits and starts, night by night. My spreadsheet of star lists is running to 22 "sheets" in the "notebook" now.

Finally got that one today. A few weeks ago, it was PIC: Second Self.

I want to read them both, sooner than later.

Here's what I have as of this morning:

EoM-DisputedZone-26Dec2023-A

Again: The Edge of Midnight, if you're interested in what inspired this.

LP 552-46 as the candidate host-star.

If you're wondering where to find it:

http://hygmap.space/index.php?select_star=10127957&select_center=1

Needed something close to where the Federation, Klingons and Romulans share a border. Somewhere that was relatively obscure in any case.

More later...

I want to say it's 85 % done...and it's probably closer to 80%.

Lots more I want to say about lots of other things, and I need to get to bed.

May as well show it off here. It's a week old, and still...

I got a bit of fannish satisfaction today. This is a thing I've been working on the last few months.

Not done yet, of course.

Good night and good luck.

Two more systems nailed down. Maybe three. Not sure right now.

I'll try to remember to upload an update to Flickr or DeviantArt or ArtStation tomorrow morning, if nothing goes awry.

So I was looking at maps of the FASA-Trek roleplaying game as well as Memory Beta entries today while I job-searched. Had a thought about where Starbase 20 might be in a map that tries to fit FASA's Triangle region into a largely-Mandel-compliant design...

I finally started to solve a puzzle I'd set up for myself in my Edge of Midnight project tonight. I'll try to share what I did tomorrow at some point.
dewline: Text: Trekkish Chatter Underway (TrekChatter)
The fan fiction project by John Concagh that I've been working on that map for just uploaded a new chapter tonight.

dewline: Exclamation: "Hear, Hear!" (celebration)
For those who care: this is the tenth anniversary of the launch of Agents of SHIELD and the sixth anniversary of the launch of Star Trek: Discovery. That coincidence shared by two TV series that I favour is worthy of some celebratory attention.

Of course, I haven't really rested today. The following things got done today:

- vacuumed two floors of the house
- picked out stars to host a half-dozen or so planets on that Edge of Midnight map project
- did two walking/shopping trips mainly for exercise
- practiced a bit more for Clip Studio Paint via the Cintiq tablet/monitor
- uploaded a scan of a sketch I drew for my Amateur Press Alliance back in 2006 to various social media outlets for the sake of self-promotion and because of Batman Day
- cleaned up some of my kitchen mess
- applied for another job
- cleaned my CPAP gear, as I need to do each weekend
- wrote a note of comment to the Ottawa Board of Health about protection measures against SARS-CoV-2 and other contagions of note and worry

I'd like to get a new "office/studio" chair, but barring some surprise via trashnothing.com, that's probably not going to happen soon. The one I use currently leans a bit to my right because of years of my leaning to that side when I sit down in it. Also, it deflates an inch after a certain amount of time sitting down.

Yes, there still is such an event. The Pandemic hasn't killed it. I hope everyone who goes, is careful and has fun. In that order, please?

Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out an alternative to epsilon Eridani for Axanar's host star. This leaves me with a history question: how much of the local galactic region was already charted out by the Vulcans before first contact with Earth?

I don't think they knew about Axanar - the planet or the species - going by "ENT: Fight or Flight". So, while the first contact between Earth and Axanar may well have happened at epsilon Eridani, I don't think that species' homeworld should be there as well.

Which would you say is going to be easier to remember for a layperson? An SAO catalogue number or "BD ##ยบ #####"?

I'm betting on the SAO number over the Bonner Durchmusterung.

Yes, this is for the Edge of Midnight base map project.

Okay, I'm back.

Hosted by the Roddenberry people - yes, that Roddenberry family! - and they apologize up-front for the sound quality as it was recorded at Star Trek Las Vegas 2023. The panel title was inspired, of course, by Carl Sagan...

https://www.missionlogpodcast.com/the-demon-haunted-panel-live-at-stlv-2023/

I hope everyone involved got home safe from Las Vegas. Of course, I remain convinced that the Pandemic in Progress is not yet done with us. We need to do more work on multiple fronts, including resuming masking-up properly.

Trying to find a real B-class star where Korinar was marked off as being is...difficult.

More on this tomorrow, possibly.

For a sense of what I've been doing:

It's fun, digging through HYGMap, SIMBAD, Memory Alpha, Memory Beta, and a few other sites as well for this stuff.
