Chom Isis 3 - volunteers for Operatives
My list of 412 defects, issues, updates, graphics, improvements and modifications is now down to two:
- Add four more Operatives
- Operative Pictures
Except for performing the release, it's all I need to do before the next Beta game. I need 6 Operatives in total and I have three so far:
Wordpress 2.8 and brief downtime
Tonight I upgraded the Wordpress install on the site to version 2.8, resulted in about half-an-hour’s downtime while I untangled some merge conflicts the svn update to 2.8 combined with a move to the new Wordpress core svn server created.

It’s like we’ve just passed the event-horizon of some new kind of publicity black hole and are now tumbling helplessly towards a singularity of overstatement where, rather than the laws of physics, it’s our sense of proportion that breaks down.
News: Roll up roll up see films both good and bad
WolframAlpha isn’t all that
Although, I guess we have to give it 20 billion years or so before we really write it off.
Time-lapsing...for fun and profit?
Well, maybe not profit.
I've just posted up a timelapse video of teh car jouney back from the Gower peninsula to Reading, and I'd thought I should back it up with a few notes on the steps I had to go through in order to make it...
The filming equipment was;
