Hi Everybody! Hi Doctor Nick!
So, after much lazing, some loafing, occasional layabouting and general putoffery Episode #3 of The Dawn Lights the Way is now ready for your reading (dis?)pleasure up in The Repository. I know you have all waited patiently…or completely forgotten said story even exists…ah well.

Ok, for those that have been following the recent antics of NR, and our current…erm, struggle with our ‘faithful’ Coding Goblins (much despite the excellent efforts of our own Exsulis) have probably noticed some cosmetic changes to the old Normality. We ain’t done yet, but(!) I do have some new stuff to bring to everyone who is interested. And with this new stuff, I would like to apologize for not posting it on Friday as I originally intended, but so it goes. The long weekend is over, and for your patience, here we bestow: stuff! ^__^ Enjoy.

Hey there all you faithful, possibly annoyed, Normalinauts. Yes, we’ve been going through ever more growing pains this week, not the least of which was, as the comic indicates, totally out of our control. The epic conclusion to this titanic clash of the bourgeoisie ruling class (Gilgrim and I) and the proletariat masses (Coding Goblins Local 283) will commence in seven days time.
An experiment in Evil

First off – the site is back up and running – hazaa’s all around! I fear that there may still be a coming disturbance with the NR Coding Goblins, and we’ll have to wait until tomorrow to learn the horrible truth, but I know that the outage had nothing to do with Exsulis’ mad skills. The important thing is that it is up and running.
Now, for the evil, I’ve been following the HalfPixel podcasts for webcomics, which is a weekly sort of conference call between 4 of the more successful ‘old guard’ of webcomics (10 yrs+ experience seems to be the average for the digital sequential publishing genre) mostly because they talk about the business and craft of making webcomics (and they’re pretty entertaining as well). And on yesterday’s podcast they began convincing one of the 4 to add a twitter account. I have wholly tried to avoid twitter as much as humanly possible… but after listening to the arguments for the ‘business’ aspects of promotion and community growth and interaction that are basically essential to trying to make a webcomic endeavor take off, I really don’t have much of an arguement to hold on to any more. And now, humbly and with my head hung low, I have opened up said evil widget/app and will be providing it here for all faithful Normalinauts.
Official Link is as such:

You can also grab the link on the right hand side of the site, under the Misc category, where the official NR Facebook Group is also linked/listed.
The good part about this already, is that I think it will help with my basic unplugging from the web on the weekends… we’ll see what I can come up with to post.
I love you all,
