It seems to have been a while since I last wrote anything. I just don’t seem to have been near a computer when I’ve wanted to make a blog entry. Poo.
I’ve got back to doing the same-gnome rewrite. It’s not playable but the animation is looking really smooth now. No more jumps and discontinuities.
I have been striking some nasty bugs though which led me to a bit of gdb automation. Try:
#!/usr/bin/perl use IPC:Open2 ... open2(GDBIN, GDBOUT, "gdb -interpreter=mi2 $command"); ...
for instant gdb automation.
We’ve just had a long weekend here. It was meant to be spent doing some long postponed maintenance in the garden. I did manage to spend some quality time with the chipper on Saturday, but the hedge trimmer refused to start on Sunday and Monday I had to go into work (only briefly) because I’d stupidly organised a telephone conversation with my boss (who is in Colorado) forgetting that it was a long weekend. It could have been a lot worse, one of my workmates only narrowly failed to drown himself.
