So, I applied for a job as a lead c# .net developer working on a modern technology stack. I was told that there was a legacy product but the aim of the job was to help sunset the old technology (that was being looked after by a bunch of contractors and off-shorers) by coding in the new.
I recently put out a call for players for the beta for the next version of Chom Isis and only got 4 registrations. That's well under the threshold needed to make best use of the new features. So I cancelled it. There are four disappointed people.
As Felix grows, the developmental stages are less obvious. Most of the big ones to do with motion (sitting up, walking, etc) are now old hat. Felix is a much happier fellow now he can self-propell. I think the idea of lying down and just having the world happen to him was abhorrent. He wants to happen to the world.
Some say "It never rains and then it pours" to signal bad luck converging such that it is noticable. For family Lang, it's been pouring for months now and it just won't stop.
Wishing you a very happy pink cake day!
Right - just pre-purchased Monday Night Combat on steam for the princely sum of £9 and as part of the pre-purchase you get access to the Beta. Rock on \m/
Game launches you straight into the tutorial which is useful - standard FPS controls except Q E and shift activate class specific skills (i think)
As is tradition (or will quickly become one), in the off-season I tend to start painting en masse, as the weather and lack of daylight keeps me from training.
PLA proved a lot of trouble it tended to jam the extruder once to the extent I had to dismantle it. Also getting quality objects out of it was difficult the retained heat proved to be a problem in that objects would stay hot enough to be flexible far longer than with ABS and thus deform while building.
When not bilious, each week I send out an email offering to run a roleplaying game. It used to be Icar, recently we've been playing Cloudship Atlantis. It's pretty good fun, we have an excellent vibe. However I really need 3 players to play - 2 is just too little. Over the years players have come and gone depending on their work commitments or waning interest in play or leaving Uni.
Time relativity is an odd thing. On one hand, it doesn't seem like 13 months ago that Felix landed. On the other, so much has happened in those 13 months that it feels like a lifetime. I can't quite understand why a time can seem like a long period and short period at the same time, must be something to do with relativity and context.
