That Sunday Post about Writing only 13 Hours Late
Monday, July 24th, 2006This should be a post about the frustrations of having a really good few hours writing and then realising you’ve info dumped a huge chunk of the story rather than having the main character interact with characters, risk danger and generally do heroic stuff. It should be about the *joys* of editing (TM) where the […]
I would appear to be Blackbeard
Saturday, July 22nd, 2006I’m blaming the bottle of wine I’ve polished off tonight for the following result… You scored as Black Beard. When you finally die and enter Hell, the devil will hand over his reign and bow. Black Beard 75% Mary Read 67% Will Turner 67% Captain Jack Sparrow 50% Captain James T. Hook 42% Dread Pirate […]
You know that it's really humid when…
Saturday, July 22nd, 2006You get a dry bottle bottle of pepsi out of the fridge and it’s dripping with water in seconds. Feels like there might be a thunder storm later. Pretty much the same thing as Darkdwarf’s post: You know that it’s really hot when…
Google Sitemapped this Blog
Friday, July 21st, 2006I’ve been using Google Sitemaps on the impworks site for a month. I’d not realised I could use it on a blogger using the atom feed until I was browsing the web earlier. It hardly took any time to do. Log in to Google Sitemaps using your Google account (or sign up first if you […]
Vue News Blog
Thursday, July 20th, 2006I got really fed up when searching the web the other night for some information about Vue that I’ve started a new collaborative Blog just to try to collect Vue news. Jim Coe is going to be contributing too. If you would like to help out with an occasional post drop me an e-mail mark@www.impworks.co.uk […]
Characters on the Couch (Part 2)
Wednesday, July 19th, 2006Following on from: Characters on the Couch (Part 1). Drivers Each of the archetypes is associated with one of the drivers giving a general impression of what they want to do. The key drivers that Jung identified were stability, mastery, belonging and independence. Modern discussions sometimes refer to stability as “providing structure”, mastery as “thumb […]
Some Blogs while Hiding from the Sun
Tuesday, July 18th, 2006A year ago I didn’t really see the point of blogging. Now I’m hooked and I find myself reading more blogs regularly. Here are a few of my favourites… Very True Things: Steve Pugh the SFSFW’s hard working web masters blog. DarkDwarf – on life, working at the the Assassination Bureau and trying to get […]
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 […]
