Too Busy for a Witty Title
Saturday, April 22nd, 2006I’ve had a pretty productive day. Got up this morning knocked off about half of a section of my new web site showcasing my old web sites. Covered all the personal ones I just need to dig out pictures of the work ones now. The ones that are still under way will be easy but […]
So this is how Treachery Feels?
Friday, April 21st, 2006I signed up a Live Journal account today just so I could leave a comment on a friend’s journal. Then I did a quiz and it gives me this result… You scored as The Treacherous Mastermind. You are Arvin Sloane from Alias a devious double crossing mastermind. You have betrayed everyone you have ever known, […]
Fairy Tale about to go Distinctly Dark
Thursday, April 20th, 2006Well my protagonist (calling a noir detective a hero just doesn’t seem right somehow) is about to enter the land of the flower fairies. Which is going distinctly dark and treacherous on him. Everything will be alright as long as he stays on the true path. That shouldn’t be too hard for a PI now […]
Late Again
Thursday, April 20th, 2006Late getting this out for the second day on the trot. Edited a bit of the noir fairy tale. Worked on top-secret viral killer web 2.0 mash up a bit too (why is it when I see lines like that I always think of Gus in "Drop the Dead Donkey"). Need to figure out how […]
No Rabbit Hole for my Hero
Wednesday, April 19th, 2006I found where my Fairy Tale Noir short story to go at least for its next section earlier. The hero is going to run into a rabbit but this one isn’t late or avoiding a hunter out looking for wabbit. Turns out he’s a snitch but will he turn out to be all that he […]
Not Feeling Verbose
Monday, April 17th, 2006Easter weekend visiting family. Eating my Mum’s cooking and drinking my Dad’s wine both of which were excellent. Doing family stuff. After an unproductive three hour train journey back I’m not feeling at all verbose. I wish I could say I’ve worked on the stories I took away with me but none of them have […]
V5I: Replace Selected Objects with Random Plants Python Thing
Thursday, April 13th, 2006A little script for Vue 5 Infinite that, as the subject line says, replaces selected objects with random plants. Instructions for using it are at the top of the script. Sorry this is the no frills end of scripting with no fancy interface just a couple of variables to hack in the file before you […]
Airforce One Plans
Wednesday, April 12th, 2006For all those gamers who wondered what airforce one really was like… Forget Airforce One. Forget The West Wing. Forget NCIS. See The Guardian.
Lunch Hijacked by an Idea
Tuesday, April 11th, 2006There I was eating my lunch at work and I get jumped by an idea. Wonderland, Narnia, Never Never Land and other children’s stories have a common trick in them. Children go to a fantasy world and then come back and no one notices they were missing because time works differently in the two worlds. […]
When Inspirons Collide
Monday, April 10th, 2006Walking to work has up moments and down moments. You get to see wild life. You get drenched by the rain. I’ll not blather on/wax lyrical on the subject today. The big plus is time to think. So when I started this outpouring of my incomplete concepts I had an idea for a 70s TV […]
