Not since the HSC in 1992 have I had to write 800 words on something in essay format, you know - intro, body, conclusion. Surprisingly fun but mostly frustrating. I’m not a natural arguer - the only thing that comes naturally to me is sarcasm I think.
“5th Birthday” as in - 5 years live. It will be 10 years in August since I started it all …
Spent something like 5-8 hrs making newbie island, because maybe 1 in 10 people who try euo get past the first 5 mins. Is it really that hard? Well newbie island has many obnoxious popups telling you how to attack and whatnot …
2 hrs to kill at COFA - 1 hr and 15 min to go. I’m in the computer lab, and not only forced to use a mac, but furryfox refuses to load. What a travesty.
Checked out the library as suggested by the lovely Cecelia - lots of art books of course but it was all about as appealing as the Chester Hill library, as far as a place to kill time in goes. Many interesting videos and and a few dvds - but you can’t borrow them, and there is only the dingiest room on earth to watch them in. I guess I could bring my laptop in and rip and/or watch them on that.
now that I figured out that the best bit about it was written by someone else: http://tinymce.moxiecode.com
true democratisation is writing your own goddamn “blog software” (using someone else’s wysiwyg javascript textareas of course)
the NY web2.0 circle jerk can stay on with fucking tumblr and die of old age while they wait for their tags - not me, I’m going to ART SCHOOL tomorrow
euo
everything else
just spent all nite writing on the forum about bugs fixed and also updating the euo manual Latest Changes section, read it, it’s awesome : LINK
About 5 hours encoding the numbers in FOV packets into chars and converting the flags into bits and such - got pkts down to about 65% of their orig size. Has taken much debugging to get the base-222 converter working. I hate signed & unsigned ints in C.
so much to do … can’t concentrate on anything … stinky webdev taking up too much time … where the fuck are my tags tumblr - I’m growing impatient …
Maybe a good idea to give EUO a rest for a day or two anyway, I’ve been going so flat out on it …
