Whoever told you I have an Canon EOS 400D is lying. I have ‘access’ to an Olympus Ultrazoom C770 and occasionally a Olympus 8MP DSLR, I think it’s a E300 or somesuch.
I’m going to do something about getting more permanant access to a DSLR though ;). Just have to see how a few things pan out. Definately going Olympus though. My family has a bit of brand loyalty with them :).
Heheh, I agree with you on the Ethereals being somewhat ‘controlling’. Look at all the background story, and moreso, look at the vespid integration with the communion helm. Now regarding the imperial guard never procreating, a lot of background fluff surrounding human auxiliaries states that the human warriors fighting for the Tau on the fringes are generally all descendants by a generation or more of the survivors of the Damocles Gulf crusade… Now, as for a change in policy perhaps in third phase expansion worlds? Possibly. Third phase expansion sees Farsight decried (responsible for a the victories of the seccond phase expansion, and also the post-damocles crusade mop-up that integrated many humans into the empire) by Aun’Va.
Back to the ethereals again and the artwork, pre Tau Empire the tau mini’s were very humble, wise looking. Tau Empire tau minis are the other end of the scale, almost quite sinister. As for Farsight killing his Ethereals off? Arthas Moloch, the world that happened on, and the conflict mentioned points square at the Necron. That’s where he found the Dawn blade as well. The Dawn blade doesn’t seem like the necron kind of shin-dig though, possibly it’s a relic from the ‘other’ ancient race.
Either way, I’m aiming to model a renegade tau/human force, possibly a Farsight enclave even - I’ve yet to finalize the fluff for the army - that flies in the face of the Ethereals and High Imperial Administration. They’re in trouble either way if Tau or another Imperial crusade rolls in ;).
I am bored and on a bus and must blog.

Really hectic day at work today. Normally where I work there is three data/telecomms technicians around doing things, then the senior project manager, and then the boss. Well, two of the technicians were away today, and the project manager dude is incredibly ill. So the one remaining senior technician is covering for him, and guess who them has to cover for the other two technicians? Little old me, the apprentice.
I think I handled myself alright, got a lot of work done, but it would have been nicer to have more in the way of a rest throughout the day. My back is absolutely killing me and one of my knees kept trying to give way under me all arvo.
And I have discovered something, I rock at sucking up to customers.

Owen: It’s still mIRC though, which comes pre-packaged with a high concentration of suckiness.

Oh god. That last paragraph on my last entry was so damn corny. Eh. Shit happens.
