Fools Gold

We went to see a movie tonight. We sort of have to pick the films based on the time they start, and on that basis we went to see "Fools Gold". This is a south sea caper with buried treasure, murderous rappers and a non "will they-won't they" romance strand. The characters are a bit one dimensional, the treasure plot is over complicated and Donald Sutherland's accent atrocious. But I can think of much more unpleasant ways to spend a few hours in a cinema. "There Will Be Blood" for example.

Very Silly Simon

I've had a rush of creativity. No, really.

This is a screenshot of the Simple Simon Project at Very Silly Games. It will eventually be a pattern matching game remarkably like another game named after a pieman.

I've only written the first bit for now, with some questions that you can use to brush up your programming smarts. Study the code and answer them and we will see about moving onto the next phase of the development.

I've just remembered. We never get to know the name of the pieman. Just the person who met him.

Monday with added jetlag

Back to work today. Plenty of business and stuff. The jetlag keeps switching my brain off at inopportune momen

The Missing Sunday

I don't remember much of today.

Which is probably just as well.

Cramped Saturday

Before flying back we had our last "Breakfast in America" at our favourite diner. Which has very shiny stools. Then it was up to the airport to be crammed into a metal tube for 9 hours.

At the airport they had this lovely little thing. Sort of robbery target and getaway vehicle all in one.

I didn't get any extra space on the long flight. But the bloke who was sat next to me, who must have been all of four feet tall, had one of the precious legroom seats. And my in-flight entertainment thingy didn't work. Oh how I suffered.
