Because I force you all to care...
ASHMONDE'S BACK! Phillip the guy who fixed him in perth seems to have taken good care of him, Also he's installed something on it, A game I think with a massive 3D engine to test the sound, Either way, If I like it, I'm keeping it. ;P
However, Fucking posties, Have broken my Hard drive cover, I get the laptop back and through massive amounts of bubble wrap and those foamy things (Which oddly enough are a shade of dark blue) The plastic around the hard drive screw is broken, and as a result, when I removed Ashmonde from the case, we was minus a hard drive, which I found sitting in the rest of the bubble wrap. But I've put it back in and I have the remains of the Hard drive case held in by STICKY TAPE! So I've emailed Phillip about getting a new cover, Which would be good.
Interesting enough, Ashmonde's screen... Seems to be half of the same screen. It's got the same silver encasing, But with a beautiful new LCD inside... Which seems to be better looking... and... somehow bigger.
I've just realised something too. 15" widescreen LCDs appear to be almost as wide as a 19" CRT. That's pretty spiffy.
The Ugly Stick opening is good, However I feel totally emotionally drained. My brother has been merciful and has given me more time to complete it, Because there's no way I would have managed to finish it by tomorrow. 65 seconds in 3 days? As if! The current standing is 38 seconds after two days, Which really is a bloody miracle. But since he's given me til next Tuesday, I'm taking my time today to tighten up some things (some timing and some perfections, Nothing major) But... Yeah.
I'm so glad I have Ash back, Because if I didn't, I wouldn't be able to do the final workings to it, Since DV is just too slow to render it proper speed. It has to run through 5 times before it can even play it back in flash at 25 fps. It wants me to run it at like 12fps. But TV doesn't let you do that.
Anyway, Time to have Lunch and get back to work, If I feel up to it later, I'll post some screencaps of the ugly stick opening. (Probably part of the one that has my name in it and the one with the picture of my brother.
