V5I: Random Walk Script
Sunday, April 30th, 2006A simple little script that creates a random walk for selected objects. The script can be downloaded from random walk. I’ve made two quick demonstration animations: 100 Spheres Walking Randomly A Metablob of Randomly Walking Spheres The second was made by grouping nine spheres into a metablob. Eight of the spheres in the metablob were […]
Building a Better Krillitane
Sunday, April 30th, 2006The new Dr Who episode "School Reunion" that was really good. Liked having a villain who got to be nasty and menacing for a little while and who could act. I think there was either a huge story hole or (more likely) a hook for a later story buried in this one too. The Krillitane […]
Saturday on Sunday

Todays a Lemon and I'd like my Money Back
Friday, April 28th, 2006So today just doesn’t seem to like me… I go to B&Q to get some stuff I need. I ask an assistant to help me make sure I’m getting the right stuff.

Blame Kim!
Wednesday, April 26th, 2006Kim has been putting the metaphorical thumbscrews on at the writing group we go to for us all to submit our work to be publishers. She has a quite lurid turn of phrase for it I won’t use on a public blog because it would attract completely the wrong kind of search results from web […]

Busy But Not Creative
Sunday, April 23rd, 2006I seem to have been busy most of the day but I can’t point to anything and say look what I made. I’ve hacked around my website’s meta data (boring), tried to speed up my sites viral web app with some success, registered a couple of new domains and tweaked some of the site’s pages. […]
