Horrible parts done. Now it's just copious testing. But I think, for now, it'll be dinner & bed, as dinner & testing may reveal bugs that will require rework and further testing, and I'm tired just thinking about it.

Wisdom is knowing when to say 'No' and stop.

I took it for a spin in an Aveyond game and it worked nicely. I discovered I'd made an oversight - nothing that can't be fixed with a dozen lines of code. That'll be this evening's task.

They started a massive restructure of the department about 18 months ago, and ALL promotions were put on hold for 2 years. Bummer for those who were close to getting one. So until all of those that had been pending were approved and notified, nobody could say anything.

Wow that sucks...

That's nuts. If they're willing to break their rules they should have the guts to deal with it.
Congrats on the promotion though

(weeks later)
M: I want to go overseas in June, so can you change your June leave to another date?
S: ok.
(later)
S: Has anyone booked leave at Christmas time yet?
M: Not yet.
S: I'll have the 24th off. Let me know if anyone else wants that date.
M: It's okay, you got in first, so you will have that date off.

...
I got in first those other times, too. And now this.

That's unpleasant to say the least. I suppose your only option is to be the last one to choose the date, so someone else will be bumped off for you

When he asked for everyone's dates, I said I would wait for everyone else to choose theirs, and then I'd choose around them. But nobody else submitted anything. So I "got in first" because everyone else was slack, then had to change them anyway. Won't happen next year!

I loved the Han Solo books trilogy, so I really hope this movie will be good enough to make me forget how it doesn't match at all with it. :x

Oh that's sweet, they're still youngsters. It's great that the weather there allows their growth. Enjoy them!

The weather does, but the soil doesn't It's quite heavy clay here, and when we planted them, everything suffered. So we had to dig them all up and put back in pots. Hopefully this year we'll build raised beds and plant them all out again - they're getting a bit crowded now!

It's challenging, but it's great they managed to grow and bear fruits. Hopefully it'll work out. They must smell very nice too.

@Kes Yeah, this is the script that lets you choose a switch or variable, or an item, weapon, whatever from the database, and will show you everywhere it's used (except scripts & script calls). Unfortunately page 1 of the Ace thread has been lost

crumbs - how do I post a link without it trying to embed the whole script?

I don't think you can, that's one of the annoying things about Status Updates, it doesn't just link, it embeds.

Awww I liked but it wasn't for the post; it was for you. I myself overtaxed myself today and... I kinda know it will be discouraging. I do hope you'll be able to get trough very nicely and well thought! And even have more time to have fun.

It is all done - just finished a couple of hours ago. At least all the hard work was done yesterday. Very early start today though, and now I can't stop yawning and it's only lunchtime! I think I'll let today be a write-off and get back to game making tomorrow.

I forgot that you might be on the other side of the world. (night here) But, YAY!

Another problem with meds is that you can wake up and still feel drowsy and unable to focus, until it wears off.
Perhaps if you alter a bit your night routine, your mind will stop repeating it. And make sure the temperature isn't too warm in your room.

I used zzzquil when that happened. A half doze usually just makes you drowsy when you take it, but you can still be woken up if someone really needs you.

If I drink too much fluid before bed, I wake up and have to use the rest room and don't go back to sleep.. terrible. I sometimes go to bed thirsty just so I won't wake up. MEOW. terrible. I suppose it's just part of being a silly grey tabby cat. Meow.

@Sauteed_Onion, I had one in Classifieds, but it's currently closed.
@lokirafael, "planting" is correct. It's time to plant our winter vegies.

Aw, I know the feeling! I spent this weekend sick, so it was like it wasn't a weekend at all... Dishes aren't done, projects aren't worked on, Humble Bundle purchased but only stared vacantly at (although the guy and I tuned into the Bob Ross twitch stream for a couple episodes; that was neat). All I accomplished this weekend was, really, was sleep.

I find a weekend of sleep makes me MORE tired! I WAS going to get the humble bundle, but budget won't allow it, and it will have ended by the time my next pay comes in.

Plugin. Because we all benefit. lol. Unless you don't plan to release it... Then dev plan.

Can you add a gardening system in your plugin? then you'll have both Done, haha XP
but really, do what you can, don't exert yourself, if you do, you'll never get anything done, and we don't want that to be a result. so take your time, do the most important things, and if time allows it do the other if you have the energy to...and know it can always be done another day.

@Neo Soul Gamer yes, this one will be shared. It's just going to be harder to create than usual, as it involves classes that are completely different in MV to what they were in Ace.

haha - I have to make mine LESS convoluted! I have one where a character actually says, prior to entering, "We used to play in these caves as children. We shouldn't find it too difficult to traverse."

Usually that's the more reasonable goal. I am not sure what I was thinking when I put a note to make them more convoluted. Must've been one of those weird moments when I wasn't thinking straight.

ah yes, I have those moments way too often!

Did you check the basement? ...

I found it! It's right... over... here~!

*hides*

Found it - it was still in bed, right where I left it at 6 this morning.

I reckon I could do a global search for "bug" and replace with "I did something that caused an error" and the forums would be much more accurate.

That must've been interesting. Did they teach you how to maintain healthy soil?

we learned about pH and WHY it affects plants, how to test soil structure and how to change it, soil mixes, potting mixes, seed raising and propagating mixes, what are the good ones and what are the bad ones and why, what the Australian standards mean for potting mixes and how clever companies are at marketing when their products don't meet the standards.

And we planted up a bed for a side-by-side comparison of a compost that meets the standards and one that doesn't, but has a label and a price tag that implies it's much better. We'll keep an eye on those over the next few months to see how they perform.

Well, I usually play all the game to make the bug list then correct them; After that, play it all again, because corrections also make new hidden bugs. This goes on until I don't have to fix anything. It usually takes 3 or 4 runs.

Good Can you share it?

really? It's a one-line change to the code. I've seen people ask about it before, and after I realised how simple it was, I thought for sure someone's already posted it in response to one of those requests. I'll do it when I get home, or over the weekend - when I remember

@Shaz Okay

It was delivered to a house around the corner, because the driver thought the 10 looked like a 16. We will catch up with them when they're home and see if they still have it, or if they've reposted it. I just hope they don't 'return to sender'

Best of luck!

The lady around the corner brought the parcel around after lunch today. Mark said she was a lovely older lady, and she wants to know about my passionfruit vine The address label DID look like it said 16. It wasn't the driver's fault - it was the seller's messy writing!
