So, I headed into Uni today to meet up with people and avoid studying - it was just too nice a day to stay in (and coming from me, it's got to be a really nice day to drag me out of doors...) I randomly met one of my old school friends, whom I bump into every few months, and we chatted on the train about the End Of It All (after almost twenty years ( Read more... )

It's eight thirty in the freakin' morning. I've been up since six ... well, actually, I went to bed at six, realised it was getting light, and then couldn't sleep because of the encroaching lightness. When did it start getting light at six again? I think spring has snuck up on me without me noticing - I guess it's that I've been so absorbed in ( Read more... )

Not only am I dreaming in Java code this time, but I'm dreaming about RMI. I think I might be working a little too hard ( Read more... )

After sleeping in ridiculously late today (I meant to wake at 8:30am ... I finally fell out of bed past 2pm) I meant to get to bed nice and early tonight, ready for tomorrow's demonstration of my project to incoming Uni applicants (this is the last one of the five).

It's now past 2am and I've spent the last couple of hours reading Mac/PC slashThe ( Read more... )

Last night I dreamt I was debugging my bed, because two of the three segments of the sheet weren't writeable, and I suspected that I'd forgotten to set a capability in the bed init routine.

I think that those few days of frustrating 3D debugging are really getting to me...

OoohIs it sad that I get excited over the fact that this new release of Java includes support for scripting baked in? I've been looking for a way to embed scripting within my final year project, so that users can specify the behaviour of an agent interactively - but I wasn't incredibly keen on adding external libraries, not to mention how to use ( Read more... )

Hah, I guess Google did find my project blog after all... I was trying to find any information about using the A* pathfinding algorithm on a continuous coordinate space. I Googled for 'A* continuous pathfinding', and the second result was the first entry on my project blog, talking about possible approaches to pathfinding ( Read more... )
