journal edit: well, now that i've illicitly gotten everyone's attention, i'd like to direct it at this big fat survey o-LJ-o had me fill out. blame her!

crusty ham+mustard stuff no one cares about:

:blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah:

i've made a few non-microsoft builds of the latest incarnation of my 2d ifs app; the previous ones didn't work on some machines because that lame microsoft library installer failed. they come in two flavours: for newish machines and for crusty machines ;P pentium-4, pentium-m, core duo and athlon64 users should use the first link; if you're not sure what cpu you have, grab the second. of course, you could just grab both and swim triumphantly in a sea of exe files!

NB: it won't work out of the box because i opted not to have 7 copies of the 1mb cygwin.dll file in the zip. if you'd like to avoid manually copying it into each of the 7 folders, just move it into your windows/system32 folder for windows xp, or windows/system for windows 98/me

pentium-m version: www.fractographer.com/binaries… (newer machines)
athlon-xp version: www.fractographer.com/binaries… (older machines)

requires:

* directx 9
* 300mb of memory for the aa versions
* a bit of practise getting used to the keys+workflow :/ the readme contains important usage info!

suggestions for improvements are totally welcome, but i'm studying+exam'ing soon so might not get right on it (especially obvious requests like a gui and some proper documentation). having said that, my procrastinatory powers are legendary ;)

:blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah:


funky new questionaire/survey stuff:

Spell your first name backwards:
samoht

Story behind your DEVIANTART name:
my "full" online nick is lycium, but roundabout my irc'ing demoscene days i got  to abbreviating it.

In which month were you born?
late september (libra)

Where do you live?
in a horrible sub-sub-sub-urban town, in southern africa, on a planet carried around in a leather bag by an old man.


DESCRIBE YOUR:

Wallet:
leather billabong; functional

Car:
heh it's a red toyota, unlicensed, and it's getting sold because i'm emigrating :P i've driven it some, hmm, 100m or so.

Toothbrush:
my vibrator is a braun, recharable, and one of those high-powered models (not the tame one).

Jewelry worn daily:
only those i haven't had surgically removed (ouch).

Pillow Case:
brown / blue (not both you silly, alternates).

Underwear:
black boxers :)

Sunglasses:
i feel the same way about those as i do about those "helper wheels" kids sometimes have on the side of their bikes.

(of course, that's because i could never find a pair that suit me)

Favourite shirt:
my thinkgeek "code poet" and "kung foo" tie :)

Cologne/Perfume:
mostdays ego/axe/whatever they call it now, but i have this fine smelling diesel stuff for when i'm feeling optimistic ;)

CD in stereo:
right now, felix laband's "dark days exit" (if stereo means 5.1 surround pc setup).

Piercings:
none


WHAT ARE YOU:

Wearing now:
not spandex for a start: www.spandexwear.com/buffet/buf…
more specifically, black jeans and an orange t-shirt. *yawn*

Wishing:
mostly not to fail all my exams this year ;P um, some more free time would be nice otherwise. oh, and a decent internet connection. also some friends and/or a girlfriend would be cool ;)

heh, i suck!

Wanting:
where do i start... i guess a solution to the world's clean energy problems would be the least selfish and most long term thing, the complete opposite of which would probably be a roast leg of lamb.

The last thing you ate:
ham and mustard :D

Something you are afraid of:
lost youth...


DO YOU:

Do you like candles:
that's circumstantial; on average, no more than i do highland cattle, but since i've peeked at the nest few questions i'll go with "yes" ;P

Do you like the taste of blood:
er, not really.

Do you believe in love:
aye, painful thing :/

Do you believe in soul mates:
yes :)

Do you sleep naked?
never alone.

Do you eat seafood?
yup, but most fish isn't very tasty.

Do you believe in God?
if god is defined as the most powerful being in the universe, there kindof has to  be one; the bible is a horrible book though, ironically the last thing children should be reading!

Do you remember your dreams?
rarely (quite often for the better).

Do you consider yourself a study freak?
in a university context the most accurate answer would be FUCK NO.
however, since i'm almost completely self-taught wrt maths and programming and have done very little else over the last few years, that's a strong yes.

Do you consider yourself a health nut?
nah, mostly because i've yet to be affected in any noticeable way by what i do or don't eat...

Do you like tattoos?
if they don't cover every cm^2 of skin there is, sure.

Do you believe in miracles?
statistically, "miracles" are an inevitability ;P
i'm pretty big on statistics and not so big on religion, so again it's down to interpretation.

Do you burn easily in the sun?
what is this "sun" to which you refer? :/

Do you speak a language other than English?
german and afrikaans.

(and sometimes c/c++, java, pascal, basic, x86+mips assembler, etc. yes, spoken out loud and in chats.)

What's something you wish you could understand better?
why civilisation wants to judge me by a worthless piece of paper rather than relevant accomplishments :(


RELATIONSHIPS:

Are you shy around your crush?
hmm probably would be ;) alright, definitely...

Still have feelings for anyone in a past relationship?
*sniff*

Do you know what it feels like to be in love?
yes.


FASHION STUFF:

Where is your favourite place to shop?
hmm, where they're selling good stuff?

What colour looks best on you?
i've never been a good judge of my own looks :/

What is your favourite thing to wear?
jeans and a comfy jersey. ahhh...

of course, when going out to a club (as i did in a past life) i'll wear something  else.

How much money have you spent in a single clothing store?
don't recall exactly, quite a lot >_<

Who is the least fashionable person you know?
um, difficult to say; we all have our own style eh.

Do you match your belt with your hair colour?
no, but i wouldn't mind black hair.

How many pairs of shoes do you own?
three.

What is the worst trend you see today?
generally i don't care, but this business of guys wearing pink must stop.

Do you do drugs?
not for a while now...

What kind of soap do you use?
the clean kind.

What are you listening to right now?
autechre's cichlisuite ep.

Who was the last person that called you?
probably my brother (because he left his keys at home, because i'm always there to open the gate for him and thus there's no consequence... grrr...)

How many buddies are online right now?
hordes.

Do you send out holiday cards each year?
i suck soooo much with stuff like that :(

Hair right now:
in DESPERATE, DESPERATE need of a cut!

Mood:
hmm :/ university... bane of my existence...
