Intern Stuff

Tuesday, June 29, 2010

Wow, so it’s week 4 already. Time has flown. I’ve been keeping fairly busy with two big projects. Project 1: compiling a list of spells from the Core Rulebook. Project 2: compiling a notebook of all past art used in the Pathfinder series of publications. Hefty projects. (Tedious? A bit. Necessary? Apparently.) The role of the intern, what more can be said? But there are far worse things than looking at cool artwork all day. Not to mention I am attempting to file some spell descriptions in the back of my mind, should I ever decide I’m up to the task of trying for some Pathfinder fiction.

Other than that, I have been delving into the world of editing, constantly improving my knowledge of the Pathfinder world. In fact, one of the first pieces I edited had to do with the deity Gozreh. All I could think was—now there’s a god. Male and female, gentle and fierce, giving life and death; experiencing all aspects of the world in one instant, content with everything revolving in a constant cycle just so long as life continues. Quite impressive. I found myself thinking that if I would ever worship a deity in the Pathfinder world, that would probably be the one. Though of course I don’t know most of the other gods yet. But hopefully I will someday—I’ve got time.

Well, that’s about it for now. Just eagerly soaking up information every day that I’m here. I’ll check back in later.

Until then.

Awesome! Good for you getting out there when you're still in school, and good for Paizo for providing you the opportunity. Best of luck!

P.S. Tell Vic 1998 called, and they want their computer back. ;-)

Cutting blade WAY too close to the Paizo books.

That's what she's doing. Cutting art out of all the boks and organizing them in one consolidated place. :-D

Glad you're enjoying yourself, Kelley. Thankfully, Y8MH's picture was much blurrier than yours.

Lol I about asked what they're putting her through that she has a box knife that handy at her desk.

Good luck with your quest! (And you're right, Gozreh rocks!)

Hey, it's a big step up from the abacus our previous intern was issued.

I saw this picture and all I could say is... wow. That G3 is a museum piece.

Hey Kelley, nice to see interns get to post up on the blog. I just started my first Pathfinder game. My character actually worships Gozreh so I was interested to see you mention her/him. I encourage you to try making up a cleric who would worship Gozreh and post her/him up!

Geez - that is cruel and unusual punishment to an intern with regard to that computer.

Word has it that SKR is using a C64 without a floppy drive at work, and the famous "K" in his name actually stands for Kommodore ... with regular nerf wars between Sean and Jason, who is a staunch ZX Spectrum lover ...

That eMac you're working with on your picture brings back the memories. :)

I've still got one at home that I'm going to boot up now... maybe put in Yellow Dog Linux on a separate partition as well.

That's not a G3, it's a G4 based eMac which could be anywhere up to 1.0 to 1.25ghz clock speed. For basic desktop publishing work it's still quite adequate provided the memory is souped up to max. And if all she's doing is email, Point of Sale, and accounting it's more than adequate.

It's not like she's going to play World of warcraft on the thing :) (Not that you can any more, game's just too big now.)

I thought the lampshade design was the first G4. Yeah, my daughter still uses her G4 and it does the job. So not quite a dinosaur... but close :D

Oh, and nice blog entry Kelly!

I think people are mistaking it for an old iMac G3, made from 1998 to 2003. That's actually an eMac, made from 2002 to 2006.

All Tyler and I ever used those macs for was creating databases, editing word docs, streaming pandora, and doing the occasional research.

The layout computers and the photoshop station computer were much better. :)
