in the moderate Aristotelian city

No advice, please! (I know a lot of you are programming or sysadmin wizards who know loads about these things. I don't know very much about them, and I'm really wanting to make my own mistakes and see if I can work through this process by myself. Don't worry, if I get stuck, I will ask for help directly.)

( Post automation )

Whee! This will be fun.

So I have epic homework code to write, and a giant stack trace to work my way through, because apparently I need to test if something is a list.

That can be done.

It's quite fun having challenging brainteasers to work through in my lunch hour.

Speaking of which, I really need to figure out which programming project I'm going to write about next. Not that I really have time for my own projects just now. Studies and keeping body and soul together come first!

Whee. Oh life, you are exhausting.

I sort of knew this in my brain before, but I just started to do stuff with it on Codecademy, and... wow.

Really Quite Powerful is this technology.

Whoo!

I am working on a bug. (And at some point, I need to take a break so I can mess around with my game for a bit. I'd like to have something fun and playable by the time T is back and that does seem relatively doable.)

And I made a theme!

And... yes.

The #dreamwidth IRC channel is awesome and evil.

Some of these things are code-related, and some not. (I am currently obsessed with programming - it is my new toy!)

-The bf is currently in France! (He came back from Norway. Now he has gone on another trip.) All seems to be going rather well, though, and he'll be back in a fortnight. :D

-Progress continues apace on the game - I'm starting to implement certain cool features with the test game, and might at some point build the "real game" which is based around a fairy castle theme. This will require me to make some maps and do some world-building, however, and I'm still at the "implementing features and keeping the game small enough to make it easy to test" stage. So that might be a while off.

-I am getting to the point with Perl where I might actually be able to tackle the bug I claimed at DW. Excitement!

-I also signed up for Github with the vague aim of someday perhaps working on Diaspora, for which I have recently signed up as a user - though that requires Ruby, which I don't yet have a clue about. I'd also like to do some coding for AO3 someday, though I have NO IDEA what language they use there yet.

-I am enjoying the second half of this year's Doctor Who series so far. Outrageous plot developments, weird narrative techniques, speed-of-light exposition and all.

-I need a job! (And with the boyfriend on holiday, I am lower-than-usual on distractions.) So there will be working on these things today and muuuuch writing of applications next week. Go Lucy!

And now I go to write a way of putting stuff in boxes in my game. Wish me luck!
