Happy robot fun

Beetled off to Brighton for the weekend, which was something of a curate's egg.

'The quantum thief' is really jolly good, isn't it? I hoovered it up in half a day spent in some hotel rooms and a slow train back to Bristol.

Right now I am hacking on interrupt code for t'Arduino, because obviously there has to be a dead stop followed by swearing

The Quantum Thief was excellent. Favorite sf I read last year.

Cheers for the book recommendation. I've requested The Quantum Thief from the library :)

I suspect that fiddling with the relative timing of the collision, the stopping, the reversing, and the swearing will amount to refining the body language of the thing. You're really going to want a consulting puppeteer at some point...

Yes. The fact that the PIR is currently a bit glitchy is a good thing. It feels a lot angrier than I expected.

Once again, we see that personality is basically indistinguishable from complicated kinds of unreliability.

Swear and Enjoy!
