Too Many Ideas - Archive for 2006
I'm Sure I had something to Post…
Tuesday, September 5th, 2006… but then I watched CSI Miami with Ryan Wolfe taking a nail in the eye. So I’ll just mention that the free give away of Poser 5 has been extended for a few days.
PHP Smarty Templates
Monday, September 4th, 2006I’ve been wanting to start using Smarty Templates with PHP for a while. Finally got to today. I suspect in a few months I’ll wonder how I ever coded PHP without them.
Just messing around with Python
Sunday, September 3rd, 2006Between boring household chores I’ve spent the day messing around with Vue Python functions I’d not used before to see if I got any bright ideas. Nothing to show for it but sometimes just having a clearer idea of what you can do is worth the time spent.
John Woo's Lord of the Rings
Saturday, September 2nd, 2006I was trying to come up with a decent title for my Noir Fairy Tale on the bus earlier when the completely missleading title above struck me.

YouTube was lumped into a "dangerous part of the web" where you shouldn’t go like you wouldn’t go […]

Vue 5 Infinite Terrain to CSV Script
Tuesday, August 29th, 2006I’ve been meaning to have a play with the terrain functions in Vue’s Python. Finally found the time and wrote two scripts that use most of the related features. Two scripts that allow you to work with a terrain by exporting it as a CSV file that can be edited in a spreadsheet and then […]
Stormy Weather
Monday, August 28th, 2006Glad I’m inside it’s throwing it down outside. Even a bit of thunder and lightning although it sounded like it was a reasonable distance away. Need to crack on with the current section of the Noir Fairy Tale so I can dump the hero back into the real world and have the same storm soak […]
