It Is A Mystery…

I suppose it’s about time for me to announce a status report of what I’m up to lately…

First: I’ve picked up my Pixonomy project again, and while I’ve JUST put it on hold again, I’ve progressed the library with a refactoring and I just need to do some cross-platform hacking (to get it to compile nicely on OS X as a universal binary), and implement a couple of search functions to actually get it to a state where I can actually start programming client software in GTK+ or wxWidgets (I haven’t decided which) to demo the library.

Second: I’m currently taking a break from Pixonomy to work on a nifty font for OpenTTD.  Since I noted that they finally implemented TrueType support and Unicode support in 0.5.0 (which I’d tried to implement before, but never really got around to), I figured I’d try my hand at something fun.  After I get all the lower case characters done preliminarily, I’ll start adjusting the bounds and kerning by testing in game…

Third: Been watching some of the subs for this season, and I think Allison & Lillia does seem to have some promise, but we’ll see where it goes.  Zettai Karen Children, though, is not so much up my alley.  We’ll see where the other series I want to check out go (namely, Library War)…  There’s a few others that might be good, too.

The following is my TODO list for the next week or so: (more…)

Here’s a list of things for me to remember to do:

1. Brainstorm more ideas for navigation on the Zukan project.
1. Perhaps using the cursor to hover over locations, or clicking on them with dynamic AJAXish positioning of the ‘location’ marker and bolding of location name.
2. Alternately, hover over text to show location.
3. Need to add Advanced Generation maps, but that might have to wait until I can get access to some International Emerald ROMs for proper grepping of names.
4. In addition, I’ll probably want to construct a BDF file to convert to GDF for writing on the Advanced maps.
5. Should organize the location names better, now that I’ve added a column that categorizes locations into Cities, Routes, and Other locations.
6. Start thinking about the ‘initial’ locations page as well as Pokemon data arrangement.
2. Updating this front page in order to do a mashup of interesting things, as well as adding the remaining pages.
3. Fix GUI for Live+Press and tweak the linkback to be more like Kiera’s, because it looks cooler :3
4. Genealogy program for Mac using Gentech specification?
5. A new AMV?
6. The perennials:
1. MSF3 (Which I should get back to)
2. NeoMUCK
