Summer Sun - Part 2

Apparently I don't learn very quickly - at least for sunburn. Last weekend was the first half of the 2008-09 Mozzie state titles and I managed to do a mild repeat of Victor Harbour. Fortunately I was wearing a long-sleeved t-shirt so only pinked the backs of my hands, neck and a my face slightly. At least this time I had a hat on :p The weather wasn't too great for the trip across on Friday (rain, wind, cold) and Saturday wasn't too much better (wind, cold) and was abandoned due to too much wind. Sunday was good in comparison and after a light breeze for the morning race, those involved were happy with race 2.
Oh, and just over a week until Uni is finished for the year, and I get to go home :)

As Spookypeanut put it, it's the The End of the Beginning. Starting with simply loading the VDX data files, we've managed to recreate the Groovie engine as a ScummVM plugin, and as of revision 35060 it's now included in ScummVM :)
Obviously things aren't over yet - there's still the full AI for the microscope puzzle remaining. We also want to implement the remaining Groovie games as well - Clandestiny, The 11th Hour, Uncle Henry's Playhouse and Tender Loving Care - although these use a slight variation to that of T7G.
Exciting times ;)

Turns out summer is getting nearer for us Aussies. Myself and a few friends went down to Glenelg after Uni yesterday afternoon, and I still managed to gain a minor pink tinge on my arms, despite maybe only getting one to two hours of sun during that time (albeit between 1:30 and 4). Fortunately nothing serious though :)
In other news, t7gre progress has been flying - almost all the puzzles now work! Except the AI for the Microscope puzzle. Which is rather complicated looking. There are also some other bugs relating to Stauf and Ego's dialogue, midi repeating and so on, but the bulk is almost done.
Long Weekend!

Hard to believe we're halfway through October (and Spring) already - not to mention this post is almost 2 weeks later than planned already. Holidays have come and gone for another two months (even if I had to work through them), and exams are looming in a few weeks time for all those around me and for the Year 12's (including my younger sister - good luck! =) ).
Anyway, the long weekend also brought the opening of the new sailing season too, for which I headed home again. Unfortunately I was struck down by Labyrinthitis for the second time in 3 years (however was lucky enough for it to not be as bad as last time) but ultimately it was mostly drifting due to a lack of wind. Luckily the final race on Sunday afternoon picked up so the weekend wasn't completely wasted by those who visited the region. No photos of that since I wasn't expecting the wind to pick up as much as it did.
The water-line is also still receding - these photos were taken on Saturday 11th. The usual view doesn't really show where it sits now that the logs are out of the water so here is a side view instead. For scale purposes, most people stand roughly two-thirds the way up the closest stump. Still deep enough for us to sail although there are some areas down to less than 1.5m.
Holidays? What are Holidays?

Wow - another week has flown past already, and yet again it feels like I haven't done anything. It must be the work experience - full working weeks leave little time for personal hobbies unfortunately. I went home last weekend for birthday celebrations which were quite nice although it would have been nicer to stay for the whole uni mid-semester break rather than just the two days.
Despite this, I've now got on-the-fly processing of audio streams for T7G working properly. Again. But this time it works :P
