Well, that was pretty revolting

Well, I left for a trip to Glasgow for a job interview, got back and spent all night and most of the next day getting intimate with the toilet bowl. I've just now had my first solid food in 36 hours (a slice of dry bread) and I'm in no particular hurry to try another.

So. Not a lot happened to report in that respect.

Meanwhile, if you don't know already, there's an alpha release of Otherworld going. Buggy as hell, but we're working on getting it into shape. I think that's mostly what I'll be doing between now and Friday.

Otherworld and ... other stuff

OK, so that was waaaay too long in between posts. I've been working on Otherworld, and for some reason wasn't comfortable posting about it in this blog. Don't ask me why, it makes no sense at all in retrospect.

So, I'l probably post a bit about some of the stuff I'm doing for that. No reason I can't meditate on Actionscript as well as C++.

Probably Inform7 as well. I've been looking at some of the adult based interactive text adventures out there: Valente and Fenoxo in particular. The whole transgender doesn't do anything for me I'm afraid, but they way they've been using Inform is a bit of an eye opener. So I've been playing around with something similar that plays more to my own particular interests. So expect a bit of that to show up as well.

(I know, I know ... another new project that'll last just long enough to look interesting and then get dropped in favour of the next shiny language. What can I say? It's how I learn things).
