Argh. And Argh, again.
Well, it seems that the crisis of faith hasn’t exactly gone, which is why it’s only now, the early hours of Monday that I pick up the strips from Friday onwards. *rasserfrassermumblemumble*
Anyway. I’ve been trying to distract myself over the last 2-3 days to see if that helped. I spent several hours animating a lemming based on a random forum thread. (Specifically it’s one about having two chambers, one with you in and one with a cake in, joined by a thin shaft, with deadly spikes in it. I recoloured the base image to be more in keeping with Lemmings then animated a basher bashing through the wall. See it here.)
I’ve also been playing with another project, but I won’t make that public until I have it more completed. Interesting though, since it’s taught me about the perils of binary across XMLHttpRequest and got me into using jQuery for an interface. And it’s huge. But you’ll see what I mean when it’s done.
So what’s the deal? Well, the last couple of weeks (months, maybe) I’ve just been feeling pretty meh about WordOwl and everything around it, and the last week of virtual abstinence from the project has just reinforced why I need to finish building Thundervolt. I did get the comic area XSS-proofed but haven’t yet sorted the users area.
Then it occurred to me that I really need to have it all done by mid-February, so I figured the user area can go whistle for a while; I’ll add user permissions manually for the time being. So tomorrow’s plan is to implement one of the new key areas, the data parser. I will try and write it to interface with the strip renderer as far as possible but that will too need a rewrite.
Anyway, it’s 3.41am, I still need to do the washing up, so it’s goodnight from me.
