Ramblings about cats, games and miscellanea.
I have just been on holiday to Geneva. The first thing that most people have said when I tell them is 'Why?', so I will explain.
A couple of weeks ago, I persuaded Leela that a short holiday was in order. The only question was where to go - and she left that up to me to surprise her. I started with a long list, but since we only had 4 days including travel I had to take off places such as Peru and Australia because we'd only be able to get off the plane, walk outside and smile at ...

Well, since my last entry I have gone home for several meetings with people, and redesigned the tonbschl site again. Hurrah! Last week I also went for two all-you-can-eat meals in one day - accidentally, of course. Pizza hut for lunch, followed by F:east for tea. F:east have all you can eat puddings! Result. And then on Saturday I went to Ask with Leela which was great, they do fantastic pizzas.
In between eating and working, I have finished my new site, Yay.org.uk - let me know what you think! But only if what you think is good ...

Oh how I hate ActionScript. I was fed up with it not having hashes, so I wrote my own hash algorithm. It's called like this:
#include "hash.as"
myHash = new Hash();
myHash.set("this key", "some value");
myHash.set("that key", randomObject);
thisText = myHash.get("that key");
Yes, I am lame. I even automatically generated documentation using my automatic documentation generator, and I have added a new section called flash, where my various exciting outings with flash will go. Please let it end here.

When does 1 - 1 not equal 0? When you're writing ActionScript.
Well, not quite. But in the world according to Macromedia, one value of 0.0078125 is different to another value of 0.0078125. What's that I hear, but they're both the same number, easy to represent in binary (1/2/2/2/2/2/2/2), so their value should be 0.0078125? Well, yes, I would agree, but after a while looking at my algorithms to figure out what I was doing wrong, I have actually discovered that Flash does not agree with us. And ...

Last week was mostly spent working, most days from approximately 9 or 10am to 3 or 4am. Monday I fixed the samba problem with my server and then worked, Tuesday I worked, Wednesday I worked on something different, Thursday I worked, and Friday I worked and then helped celebrate Peter's birthday by visiting the pub and then going to the cinema to watch Team America: World Police. Damn I love that film. Then on Saturday I did some work, Leela came over and helped me eat some chocolate cake, and on Sunday I bought a stapler and some white ...
