Programming<\/b>
\nSo far our Mars Rover Simulator<\/a> (currently requires password for the interesting bits) consists of 1900 lines of C code and several data files. Needs a lot of polish but all the basic functionality is there so samwwwblack<\/a> and I felt it necessary to go out and celebrate version 0.09 with a few pints last night \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I also have to program a railway journey planner for another module (anyone remember my A Level coursework?) and a padestrian crossing in assembler.<\/p>\n

Predictions<\/b>
\nLooks like my “alternative to the traditional office suite” prediction is the last one to come past the post following the big G’s latest acquisition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And quinophex<\/a>, yes my predictions were crap but unlike most outlandish technology predictions, they actually came true. Mostly.<\/p>\n

Musicalness<\/b>
\nWent to Tom’s house to program but ended up spending hours playing with his many guitars. Telecaster and lurvely valve amp, mmm.<\/p>\n

Reading<\/b>
\nI unexpectedly received a bible through the post today, the New International Version with a leather case and zip. I’m considering reading it from cover to cover, just so that I can say I’ve read it. I don’t think it will beat Hitchhikers on the humour stakes, but a lot of people make a big fuss about it and I’m interested to know if it’s a good read. I’m curious whether it’s possible to read the bible just like any other book but I suspect that trawling through all the tedious history in the old testament will make me lose interest before I get to the good bits like the prophecies in the book of Daniel. It’s weird what contemporary culture<\/a> can get us interested in.<\/p>\n

Earthship<\/b>
\nThis<\/a> is pretty neat. I’m working on pie-in-the-sky plans for a hippygeek version \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
