Random Ideas

I've been studying mostly, but to relax I've been developing a library for graphics manipulation – to produce something like below in a .NET 3.5 environment.

And yes, that is from a screenshot.

I've been studying and thinking about a lot of other things – and those tend to lead to writer's block. I've been thinking about filling in with 4koma (like I did for a while), photography (which I also did for a while), writing a story (which I did a long while back). And then I suddenly thought about making a viable version of an application for table top card games. I thought, why not make a table top card game version with fully scriptable cards? Of course, if I did make one, the first target would be Magic, and Wizards would probably come after me – but hey, unlike the makers of Magic Workstation, I have no intention of selling it.

Apparently, my site had a problem with whatever new scheduling implementation is in WordPress 2.7. I didn't notice until today when I realised the post I wrote for 2 days ago didn't show up. Grrrr…

Updating the blog is becoming an uphill battle, with studying and going to job interviews consuming a lot of my time. Hopefully – this will lead my life somewhere interesting. In case you're wondering, I'm still working on getting out that D90 article. I intend to eventually write a review – even though I know nowhere close to enough about dSLRs.
