“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Monday morning spreading sheet

Monday is upon us again, and hopefully most of you did not have to face the commute that I did – albeit, at the end of the day, and as part of a multi-day business trip. Suffice to say that, while I enjoy driving (a lot), I DO NOT enjoy having to deal with speed cameras ever other mile. There is a REASON why the autobahn is a great idea – although apparently some 60% of those are speed-restricted anyway. These days, if you actually want to have fun driving, you have to go to places like… Russia. (Yes, really.)

Anyway – seeing as how it is Monday, let us kick things off by looking at the only corporate software tool that anyone should genuinely seek to master:

    Can I make a dumb request?

    I have been playing whorewhammer for nearly forty years… I started painting and playing back when space marines looked like they were extras from spy-vs-spy comics.

    I appreciate the warhammer 40k history videos… but might you include a few on actually playing, gaming, and perhaps… you know… painting the miniatures themselves, armor designs, chapter designs, chaos designs, stuff specifically for the miniatures battle game that started it all? my search-fu is atrocious, although I do have stacks of white dwarf stuff and have won a few awards (The ones that Americans can win, anyway) for my genestealer and chaos marine kitbashes and scene/painting designs.
