It seems my first graphics contribution to Elftown has become a reality - Lazy Club accepted the banner I made specifically for that wiki. No biggie, but still a nice feeling.

I'm stuck on numbers. Since the guys at The Philosophers' Colosseum brought up the interesting properties of the number Phi and suggested that it might be used in music, I've been obsessively experimenting with Fibonacci series and prime numbers in all sorts of ways. I wrote a program that plays a set of number series using streaming MIDI - you specify note length, note numbers and velocities in a text file... I tell you, these number series can produce some real interesting musical content. (edit 2005-03-04: Generating the text file has proven to be a tedious task because of the huge numbers involved in these calculations.. tratitional floating-point packing generates too much error, so I had to write a text-based number class that stores fractions like 1/3 as exact numbers.. it still refuses to work right, aarrgh! But rest assured, I shall overcome some day.) (edit 2005-03-06: I have managed to get the number class working (or so it seems) but now there's the matter of getting it all optimized - it's too darn slow.)

I wonder who owns the factory where they make writer's blocks. I'm thinking I should write them a big complaint. My new short story, Karmic Revolution, is 80% done and I can't seem to come up with a suitable disaster to end the first half with. 'Tis typical is it not?

At least I uploaded chapter 5 of the Simuir book a few days ago. I just hope the moderators won't find any problems with it.

I tried keeping a diary once when I was about 10. I kept forgetting to write in it.
