Too Many Ideas - Archive for 2006
Pull the other one it has bells on!
Tuesday, July 18th, 2006I won’t be getting the hour back I just spent writing README files for all the Vue Python scripts I’ve put on my site. I wouldn’t have bothered but I started getting some weird e-mails about redistributing the scripts on DVD at my expense. I’ve not seen that scam before and I can’t see many […]
Too many Degrees
Monday, July 17th, 2006So hot yesterday I completely forgot to post. Hence this completely pointless addition to the noise part of the wibbly wobbly web. Hopefully I should be coherent later once the temperature drops a little…
Usual Saturday Stuff
Saturday, July 15th, 2006Not really a lot to report. Usual Saturday stuff recovering from the last week and doing jobs to make the next one go smoothly. Started work on a Python script for Vue that I hope will change the sun’s angles in a scene for a user entered time, date and location. Fingers crossed I’ve worked […]
Dark skies fall down into another day
Friday, July 14th, 2006A picture I’m working on using Vue 5 Infinite. The lighting is more complicated that it looks as the two trees are lit separately from the rest of the scene to make them stand out. The title of the post is two lines from the song by Enya "Storms in Africa Part II".
Characters on the Couch (Part 1)
Wednesday, July 12th, 2006A Jungian approach to characters for Writers How do you get inside a character and understand what makes them tick? How can you use their desires, history and motivation to create memorable personalities? One possible technique is to draw on archetypal characters found in mythology that many writers use when creating characters. These archetypes can […]
CSI a Cheap Excuse for a Blog Entry
Wednesday, July 12th, 2006I’m surprised Kim hasn’t been emoting some sort of *strange noise* tonight after CSI’s season finale. I’m only talking about it to fill space because I’ve been busy polishing my posts for the next three months of Wednesdays. Other than that I’ve added a couple of pages to my site: impworks. I think I need […]
Too Many Projects
Monday, July 10th, 2006I should change my blog’s title to too many project. I’m such a sucker. I should get my head examined. As though I don’t have enough projects on the go at the moment. I get talked into writing a 15,000 word story for an anthology last week. I didn’t even put up a fight. Still […]
So I was wrong about Captain Jack…
Sunday, July 9th, 2006I was wrong about Dr Who bringing Captain Jack back despite the character being confirmed for the Torchwood spin off show later this year. Oh well. I’ll have to watch that now to see how they bring him back from being trapped in the future. Still we got an inconclusive fight between Daleks and Cybermen […]
Captain Jack Week?
Saturday, July 8th, 2006Went to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest yesterday. A very good second part to the series with a couple of really outstanding action sequences. Good character development. Interesting twists and turns to the plot see the characters and their allegiances mixed up from the first film to create some interesting new combinations. […]
The 30-Second Bunnies Theatre Library
Friday, July 7th, 2006I wandered into this site completely by accident. I’m not going to spoil it by saying anything else other than put your beverage of choice down then go take a look. http://www.angryalien.com/
