Too Many Ideas - The impworks Blog
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/
phpFreeChat
Friday, July 7th, 2006I needed to get a chat room set up in a hurry for a project today (technically now yesterday because I’m late posting). After a bit of research (ok Google and a few script listing sites) I settled on phpFreeChat. A short time later I had it up and running. I think the FTP to […]
Keyboard Burning
Wednesday, July 5th, 2006I’ve done so much typing today my keyboard should be smoking in the heat. I only stopped during the torrential thunderstorm that hit this afternoon. Couple of thousand words on a short story / novella, a rework of an old article that I’m going to serialise here on my blog for the next few months, […]
V5I: Using Eco To CSV / CSV to Eco
Tuesday, July 4th, 2006A minor update to last nights scripts to make them more useful (they now allow instances to be deleted) and some basic instructions on using them. Download: ecocsv.zip (5Kbyte Zip Archive) This file includes two python files ecotocsv.py and csvtoeco.py. An ecosystem consists of a number of instances of the objects that make it up. […]
