Under Zee Weather

Very short and to the point for this entry.

Have forgotten to take part of my back tablets, and feel not quite compesmentis. One area you can tell this, is by some of my recent spelling on the forums.

On a slightly brighter note for any people who like what Gravity are upto.
On the spur of the moment yesterday decided to get the crew together and bring out a little something, details very scarse as i've not even started on planning the contents.

It might be aas I refer to them as recruitros, to people who dont like names of things that havent been invented by who ever decideds what is politically correct in the demo scene, they're an Adtro for new members. Even though we are desperate for a quality graphics member, it'll more than likely be an intro.

Everything Sucks Big Time

A bit of a dee pressing update this as every thing I have tried to do beit, Cee Pee Pee wize, real life wize, setting up a wireless network wize have all ended in complete and utterly butterly failure.

Break Down

A short update,

After looking at the breakpoint '09 site on untergrund, it looks as if there's no category for PC Intro. :(

Unless they have other competition categories at the actual event.

All they have listed under PC is: 4k Intro, 64k Intro and PC Demo.

I am lacking in knowledge of even tackling a traditional asm ( assembler ) tiny prod as thats what I think they need to be for those categories. I dont think that a 64k Freebasic production would be allowed. And Gravity hasn't really the time to make a full out Demo for BP09 at least.

However fiddling with me coding sticks, I am slowly but shirley putting together a new release in the form of probably another Intro.

Gravity were going to put out a production before Winter '08, but technicallities with our real live's had prevented it being completed, however it will be remixed and all that jazz for sometime this side of 2009.

Hmmm, what should of been a short one, has turned into a bit more of an update, hehe :)

Take it easy,
Clyde

Up My Sleeves

I may have installed the main program parts of Visual Studio C++ Express 2008 With SP1 / 9.0. This however does not mark the end of FreeBASIC development & production. I will do bits with it over the course of the year, as like I say I don't want to drop FB releases.

I am going to have to get used to sticking semi colons on the end of every line which annoys the tits off me, but I will have to get accustomed to it. Hope it doesn't find it's way into my texting. And braces to mark the; beginning and end of code and loops. I guess C++ is a little bit thick at; deciding the start and end;
{
I shall carry on the tradition of using Pixel Toaster the replacement to; TinyPTC as it's what I know more about from my FB dabbling, obviously; some stuff has changed and different from FreeBASIC traditions and I; will need to be using Floating Pixels;
}

Well toes crossed and wishing myself luck;

Breaking News

Today sees the beginning of developing an entry for Break Point '09 - now that everything is under control ;)

This will mark a first for myself and the Gravity team, as we've not taken part in anything quite like this before., and it's quite a big event. I will not be attending in person, as I'll be at home making the tea for when Saga And Ko0x get back.

We're not aiming our spirits for too high ( I never have done to be honest ), and its the taking part that counts, as my Grandmother always told me. This'll be fun as any hobby should be.

Now where's this tea.
Oi, Pigeon get your filthy mits off..

Knock Knock!!

Not Today thankyou.

Momentary Lapse Of Reason

For my adoring fans and my imaginary friend here are a few things that I've been upto at this moment in time. A few things you probably wouldn't know unless you were sitting next to me, or had the talent of tapping into peoples brain waves.

• Making Tea.
• Coding some bitmap conversion routines.

• Planning and discussing a release for Break Point '09. Hopefully it'll be finished in time 0_o

• Getting Headaches from annoying bugs.

• Has discovered that by pressing ALT + 0149 on the number pad makes round bullet points!!

• Chasing away the pigeons from my thing that's above the front door. No not a porch, you know one of them things, that I can't think of the name right now kind of things.

• Writting up a few Tutorials for DBF Interactive site.
• Is making even more Tea.
• Converting old routines into one dimensional arrays. A few hiccups :(
• Heavily addicted to the FaceBook version of Mafia Wars.

• Looking for talented individuals to enroll as GVY members to create stunning graphics for useage in Demos and Intros.

• Producing an example of using music syncing via the newly developed wrappers for the Farbrausch V2 Soft Synth in FreeBASIC. Provided sample detection is possible rather than volumes to guesstimate like in Blitz.

• Has a number of unfinished releases to spruce up and make ready for injecting out into the realms of graphics demo delights.

• Is getting abit carried away with this list. What you mean a bit ;)


Im sure keeping myself busy by the looks of things.
I really should get out more. "TAXI!!!!!"


Until next time on the Muppet Show,
See you then Ron.
