Cooker doors
Dec. 11th, 2004 06:08 pmI broke the door to the cooker. I must find time to see a play. And I think I'm getting the hang of veggie cooking.
Actually, the cooker door just broke. I don't think I was really to blame. I was simply cleaning it and the window fell out. Mister Muscle probably doesn't do the glue a lot of good. Glued it back now (I am also the proud owner of a pair of tubes of heat resistant binary adhesive), but the door is sitting and waiting until such a time as it can be used again. That takes about 4-6 hours. Getting the glue wasn't easy. B&Q doesn't mention it has any heat resistant adhesives on its website. Homebase doesn't mention anything at all, but that's local, so I went down there. Looked. Couldn't find it. So I asked. The first thing I was shown was some impact adhesive. I tried to explain that I wanted it to be heat resistant, which is why I asked for a "heat resistant" adhesive. The girl at the information desk was kind enough to find someone who could help. He looked, but couldn't find anythign that he could recommend. Eventually found what I was looking for in Halfords.
I've recently started trying to get the hang of veggie cooking. Todays recipe was a veggie korma. Made from Aubergine, Sweet potato, and cauliflower. Worked... adequately at first. Then I threw in some tomatoes. That really improved the flavour. Bit of a problem though. Currently I don't seem to be able to come up with a veggie recipe without tomatoes or spinach.
My game has got somewhere at last. Still no game, but I can actually click on a landscape, and add an object. No objects as yet. I'll have to add some mechanism to add them. It actually looks like I'm heading for more of a game designer than a game engine. I'm starting to wonder if I can add all the game logic as scripts, and only have a couple of basic types of entity (moving and static). All AI and stuff can simply use primitives in the code. This is starting to look doable, and it's a lot harder to crash from within Lua.
Ah yes. Lua. What a lovely scripting language. The syntax is simple, the library is lightweight (500K, but that's debug build. Goes down to 186K when I turn on optimisations), and it requires very little work to get to compile. The only problem I had was an easy to fix problem with the compiler, and that hardly matters since I'm just using the library.
For some reason, I really want to see the play "World Cup Final 1966" at Battersea Arts centre. Strange that, considering I hate football. Don't want to go on my own though. Once again I need more friends in London.
The acting thing seems to have stalled slightly. Partly out of apathy, and parly because I realy don't know what to choose. It looked like there are 7 amdram groups. And that seems promising. Which one do I want though? Indecisiveness is often a problem.
