- Aaron Reed has a short story of sorts distributed over the face of the internet. Here is the beginning.
- Chocolatier 3: Decadence by Design is out — much like the first two Chocolatiers, but this time with the ability to mix and name your own chocolate blends. Full review later when I have time for such things.
- David Kinder has been doing some great work on Glulx speed issues, working with Iain Merrick to make Git handle some of the latest I7 features and recompiling it to be faster. Alabaster may be on hold for the month, but I’m excited to see that it may now play faster (at least on Windows) once it’s done.

Emily Short's Interactive Storytelling 
Just wanted to mention, in relation to Aaron Reed — I hated the presentation of the short story, really hated it to the point that I didn’t finish it. Copying and pasting URLs isn’t my idea of fun, and the snippets were so short that I had trouble keeping track of what was going on. I decided on the basis of this that I probably wouldn’t like the game either; I got the impression that the author was more concerned with being “clever” than with presenting his work effectively. But… after reading your subsequent posts, I gave the game a try, and it’s not annoying at all. In fact it’s very very user-friendly.
So I just wanted to say, for anyone else who might have been put off by the short story: don’t be.
