HOW I SPEND MY TIME 2

As well as messing around in energyspace I like to be creative in dataspace. The output for this creativity goes into the nemesis of dance project:-

HOW I SPEND MY TIME

This is a proof of concept construction functionally modelling the killer module on a proposed killer robot for robotwars that is a true robot i.e. fully or partly automonous - no remote control just a wireless on/off switch anyone interested leave a comment.

I'M BACK

126 miles to london

Well it's time to begin preping for another stint in the smoke -
back next week.

the survey

and here's what FreeOnlineSurveys said to paste on your site: link on right

an attempt at an online survey

OK Here’s the plan:-

• Write survey
• Input into: http://freeonlinesurveys.com
• Add to blog
• Then first ever post to STALKER forum notifying members of survey existence
• Await response
• Post response on blog
• Notify forum

Thereby hopefully generating meaningful debate re STALKER on forum

back to work

Back to work so no STALKER for 5 days – this is going to be a long learning curve! Anyway here are some links.

entry 7 - web 2 things

Web 2 things

I've been looking at web 2 today and I've decided to

compile a list of web 2 things I'm using then score them

I'm writing this using OpenOffice.org 2.2

Web 2 thing	score	comment
Yahoo mail beta
Hotmail beta
Gmail
blogger
Firefox add-ons
You tube
myspace
gooapps
OO.o

So far so good - a few formating issue emerged but an easy way of putting tables into a blog has been found.

entry 6 OMG it works!!!

Powered by ScribeFire.

entry 5 blog editors

yesterday I started this blog - mainly as a way of exploring the utility of the new Gooapps (SP & WP) and how well they integrated with blogger. The 3 seemed an obvious set for intergration but sadly it was a bomb out. Now I'm trying a firefox add-on called ScribeFire

so lets hit publish.

Powered by ScribeFire.

entry 4 - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. initial thoughts

OK here's the next experiment - this is being written using Google Docs
Question: how seamless is the publishing process.
since this is a diary I’m going to regale you with some thoughts on S.t.a.l.k.e.r. shadow of Chernobyl - as a table done on Google spreadsheet!

Fail!!!

Not only did the table fail but I’m now having to write this back in word. Oh well, lets see how copy and paste works with Google spreadsheets.

Publishing to blog using Google WP sucked.

Putting the data together from the two Gooapps bombed and now I'm doing the table in excel!

Anyway here are the stalker first impressions:-

criteria	score	comments
gameplay	8	the game has a good feel and the balance is nice. character interaction is a bit clunky but acceptable
system	5	my system is getting a bit long in tooth and its begining to show it just about coped with last years dx9c games but this years....?
story	8	so - far interesting
issues	8	some aspects of the interface are abit clunky but other than that just 1 crash to desk top in a week
total	29	guess this is the first MR DIARY WRITES STUFF first impressions benchmark then

entry 3 - I'm here

• I took a photograph
• Uploaded photo to PTM (Personal Turing Machine)
• Created thumbnail
• Uploaded photo to geocities site
• Pasted thumbnail below
• Linked thumbnail to photo at geocities
• Did all this in word

Click on image to see full size

then cut and pasted it into blogger editor and added this comment
the text component worked
image content didn't - drat
also note typeface change - could someone please shoot Times Roman.

entry 2

Remembered what it was I was thinking about.

A Mr diary write stuff links of the entry feature.

This will also test copying and pasting capability using word as primary editor.

The links:-

http://gameguru.box.sk/ my firefox homepage - sad

http://www.space.com/ it’s interesting

http://www.mandalaproject.org/Mandalas/index_new.html nice pictures

http://docs.google.com/ what started all this

Now for the linked picture procedure

entry 1

I'm tediously having to write this again something unexpected having happened with blogger interface no idea what the problem was just my inexperience – I guess. Anyway lesson learnt and this is now being written in word and being backed up - offline.

This is just a diary - a regular record of what I do and say and think recorded in real time and published in real time.

So today –it’s Good Friday and I’ve done jack sh*t apart from messing around with my Google account to checkout the new spreadsheet and word processing apps.

Then I decided to start these blogs.

Thoughts:-

Sh*t! The phone just rang and it was yet another credit card company demanding immediate payment or else! £100 pounds down the Shute!

Phew! Another default notice fended off.

Crap! - one more still to go!

Damn! Forgotten what I was thinking about.
