So close, and yet... so close...
I've almost gotten all of my layout compnants in place for my UI assignment. There is only one problem, in the form of a beligerant menu that, as yet, refuses to take up it's prefered size. So I gotta look for a way to make it so, because I can't fix the size (The example they've given us is a crappy interface in which the list all but vanishes if you shrink it). Bah.
But it's all mostly in place now, and I've only gott o work on implementing the functionality next. Most people would say 'but, Washi! You should have done that first!' and they may be right, but this assignment is all about the interface, the back end stuff is mostly just a bunch of arrays and is already implemented for us. So I want to get everything looking right befor I go messing anything up.
I'm an idiot. I was going to get a drink and some food while I was here, but alas, The uni is mostly closed on a Saturday - the uni bar and the Kaf certainly are, and the door to the Shop is sort of... locked. So I'll have to get a ticket on the bus and restock my bustickets on monday (I'll make sure I leave after 9 :P). But the bottom line is... I'm really, really hungry.
I've also finally learnt exactly where Pyramid Head is actually from. Go me.
I've had an idea for my next site layout. It's an idea I've been thinking about on and off for ages. And, as many of my layouts before have been, it will be based around one or two of my characters. So here's the question (I'll ask you first, and then put it up on my site - people who can stand me being a whiney little biatch deserve to get first say in how my site looks): Who would you like to see a layout themed around? So far, Julian, Tracy, Angel, E, Rafael, Rufa & Reifi, Jabari, Wasaki, Necro, Ashen and Adoni, Bran and Starr, even Darren (Who was used with Ledi's permition) and a couple of randoms have all been made targets. Any of my characters is viable really, even obscure or shiney new ones. If you have any preferences for one or two of my characters you'd like to see, feel free to tell me - you can Mail Me or, better yet, just drop your suggestions into that handy-dandy little tag board to your left ^_^!
No, I don't actually expect that to work. But I figure that SOMEONE is bound to stop by here eventually, and they may just have an opinion.
Anyway, I should probably get back to my Java work. I have to say Thanks to Vasillis Childe (Name changed to protect the person from any detramental association to my person :P) for the API - I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but anything that lets me do this shiznicht from home is a dream to me.
Oh, have I told you how beautiful Project Zero 2 Looks?
No quote, I'm at Uni, foo!
