Gloomcookie and other evilness

[fluffymark]

Waaaaaaaah! I want I want I want. laumiere is very evil for introducing me to the wonders of Gloomcookie. Now I need to buy for myself. Thats despite me already having spent my spare money by accidentally buying the t.a.T.u. album earlier this week. Where do i find it? Forbidden planet and comics shops, yes, but i doubt I'm going into central London this week. Will large bookshops sell it? I'm going to diiiiiiiiiiiie without it.

Managed to miss a swathe of social engagements this weekend (Vicar alex's birthday, Tenebrae, Picnic&Piracy and Gay Pride march) due to feeling ill and stoppy and unsociable. Feeling a bit insecure recently, which is odd, as I've been feeling the most loved in many months, in a general sort of way, not by anyone in particular. I blame all you wonderful people for making me feel great, you're all wonderful! *huuuuuugs*

I vanquished evil today. I purged Elvira (snow_leopard's computer) of virtually everything. And she appears to be behaving now. Or maybe the evil spirits that got exorcised have passed to jellyfish - as later the impossible happened - Linux crashed!! Been using Linux for 7 years now, and thats the first time I've seen a Linux crash.

For anyone interested, my game apricots is now version 0.2.4, and compiles under Linux and Windows (assuming you have a compiler and the SDL libraries), with optional audio. I did the cunning thing of putting it on freshmeat.net and now a bunch of geeky Germans appear to be debugging it for me. I'm such a lazy sod. :)

Many many huggles to doseybat who's had her passport stolen while in Moscow. *huuuuuuuugs*

Ah the wonders of open source:) I had someone from Russia add some features to one of my programs, including ones which I wasn't sure how to do, or required a lot of work:)

sourceforge.net (http://sourceforge.net) is a good place if you want to have more than one person working on a project.

Indeed. A few things have been fixed that I knew were a bit funny, but I wasn't sure how to sort them out. Thats exceelent as far as I'm concerned. :)

A new bug has cropped up, apparently with multiple monitors, SDL fullscreen mode speads out the display between all the monitors. This is not good. Any idea how to keep it on one monitor?

I'll take a look at sourceforge.net - thanks :)

Hmm no idea I'm afraid. I assumed that handling what full-screen applications do should be the responsibility of whatever software handles the multi-screen stuff, but maybe it doesn't work like that. I don't know if it's possible to set the behaviour from the application, or how to do so.

That's what I thought - it'd be handled by something else - and not having mulitiple monitors, I can't test that configuration. It's just a bug someone reported. I'm guessing window-mode will work fine, so i should work on making that as an option, somehow.
