I have been letting blue bottles out alllll day! I think they're blue bottles at least. That size anyway and the number I've let out must be closing in on 20 now!!! I've had the window's closed as well.... I wondered if one wasn't opening a little in the wind (they don't really shut tight) and they were getting in that way but I sorted that out ( Read more... )

Wellll, I've haaad...umm....4 exams so far! Two orals, then Translating Modern Japanese Texts II and Advanced Japanese. Had the last one today. Can't really be bothered to go over how they went, they went and that's it really (tho I'm not sure what it was I said in my Chinese oral but it made the two examiners look at each other and say "I'm ( Read more... )

Apparently names mean everything. £15 for an "Adjustable Set-Square" (still according to online since I couldn't find one in town). £1.99 for a "Protractor Rule."

¬_¬ You know....they do the same thing....

I guess what's missing is the 0.5mm accuracy...but I think I'll live ;P

Here something interesting. I was looking online last night for a tutorial about perspective for RPGs. I'd tried and tried to work it out myself how to do that 3D bird's eye view but was seriously struggling. I have trouble with perspective.. some views and shapes are fine. I can do a 3D square ok but I was trying to do a 3D square at various ( Read more... )

OOoo, two updates in one day. You can tell I'm bored. I can't remember what I said before so if I'm repeating myself I'm repeating myself so there :P ( Read more... )
