Yeah, it's been a month since last I posted. I have been in a handbasket and didn't quite realize it until I saw the Wood of Suicides. Fortunately, things seem to be powering down a bit.

I have started my firstsecond attempt at Fair Isle today. The first attempt went fine until I saw that I was making ruffles. At least now I know how, right?

Pics shall appear when it's done, but I'm using the Horde symbol off of Ravelry to make a (small) pillow.

Don't you love it when you're halfway done with a program and realize you've screwed up halfway into it and need to rewrite a good deal of it.

ARGH.

Stack overflow was caused by a buffer stupidity. Note to self: const all array maxs from now on. Moron.

I've been working on the Dark Heresy Character Generator. Because bubblesorts are evil, I tried using a quicksort.

Now I'm getting weird stack errors. I give up for the night.

Whee! Updates have been lacking because my math class has bent me over a table and doesn't use lube.

Haven't knit since the cow as the cow is still in pieces. Eventually, the cow will no longer be in pieces, but the Mayan End of the World may have happened before then.

I've restarted the Dark Heresy character generator and I've been playing with the idea of a Dark Heresy simulator. Testing how dangerous the creatures in the Monster's Manual or whatever it is they call it.

I've also been playing with the idea of writing again but I can't find a plot with both hands, a Randy MacNally and a scent dog. And it's kind of hard to write without a plot, ya know?

Lessee. (Why does that spellcheck but spellcheck doesn't?) I'm hand making a hammock using a 1785 pattern. I'm almost done with the tabling and soon I'll've finished the grommets and be done, done done! Then I just need to figger a way to hang the bastartd.

Things I Should be Doing Instead of This

My polisci take home test. Go me!

I have not been coding in a while , mostly because when attempting to move the code from one machine to another, it got wiped out. I am massively irritated. I have not been knitting because I've been working on a hammock. Eventually, there'll be pics of that, when it's done. It'll take for freaking ever, though.

The cow is suffering from second sock syndrome. It's stuffed but still in pieces. It's taking up room and quietly driving the Wife nuts, but I just feel...meh about out.

Gaming has been mostly in the console, less on the table top, although I am seriously considering LARPing. As a Dark Elf. In full face black make-up. In June. I'm insane.

Aside from that, I'm killing myself for school, as per usual. Next week, I get to camp out in front of the Dean's office until he agrees to see me and lets me back in to the University. Whee!

I may start whipping up something small, like opera-type gloves, so I don't have to paint my hands, 'cause I think that I'm going to be waiting a while. Yay.

I keep putting off putting the cow together. I have a horn filled with stuffing. The rest of the cow is sitting in pieces except for the other horn, which is half-assedly half stuffed. I have been sort of waylaid by marlinespike seamanship. I wanna make a Nelson era hammock and I've got everything bar the canvas set up.

I'll get back to me knitting soonish, I think. I just periodically get on these kicks and need to wait until my interest dies or goes back to normal levels. And right now I'm on a Patrick O'Brian kick 'cause he is the awesome.

So anyway, um, yeah. Finished cow. Soon.
