and set the Cavern 43 [Room 22 of the JSW64 game] portal-destination
to Cavern 24 [Room 3] so that Caverns 24-43 repeat in a loop. That
will be faithful, won't it, as long as no room-numbers are displayed?
On another subject, I'm painfully aware of how long it has been since
I last updated my List of MM/JSW Games. After James Bond abducted all
of my MM/JSW time and a good deal of my tennis-time up to the end of
2007, I started 2008 with my backlog worse than ever.
The tennis-distractions of 2008 so far have been considerably greater
than I expected, and in the last two weeks, I've also been up to my
eyeballs in the process of converting the placement I was doing since
April 2007 to a permanent job as a C# programmer.
The good news (though not from the perspective of my hobbies) is that
I have succeeded in this, and hopefully things will now settle down
into a routine that will eventually clear the backlog and allow my
MM/JSW plans to progress. Updating my List of MM/JSW Games will be
one of my highest priorities for March.
