Diary: March 2006
Well, it took long enough, but... it's finished! Hurrah!
Yes, that's right, I've finished the second Flash CD. Well, not quite - I've finished the first draft of all of the activities. Now, I know that doesn't sound quite so good, but some of the activities have already been through preliminary testing a couple of times and are pretty close to the final versions. For most of the activities, all that's left is a little bit of tidying up - some still have a few unresolved bugs, but the majority of the work is done. The ...

Answerphones make me nervous. I don't know what it is - maybe it's the fact that I'm getting no feedback as I'm talking.

Several things happened this weekend. First we got an e-mail from our landlord saying he was selling the flat. That made me kinda nervous, since we were planning to stay here for 4 more months.

On Saturday morning I wrote a small Eliza bot for PGPlus, in perl. They do already exist, but this ...
