Well, I was working on PageCat again last night and after a few stupid mistakes I got some things working pretty neatly.
I can now add graphics via URLs to articles using the HTML editor. You just click on the Add Image button and a dialog pops up. This dialog will eventually allow you to specify an existing file from the web server or upload a new file for inclusion in the article. Before I complete this, though, I will need to add a database configuration plugin, so I can add/edit/delete the database config table.
I got a new juggling toy recently called meteors. It's basically a thick nylon rope about 7 feet long with large monkey-fist knots on the ends. You swing the weighted ends of the rope around until eventually the centrifugal force pulls the rope taught enough to be used like a staff. Deadly. Rope. Juggling.
It should read like a B-Movie thriller, "Return form the In-Laws!!!" Will our heroes return with their sanity in tact? What strange dialect of English will they speak when they return??
Fortunately, a convergence of events led to a late departure to Johnstown this weekend. I wasn't feeling very well, and the doctor had prescribed something that made me sleep for most of the weekend. Besides that, it was raining fairly heavily. Although, I did take the time to coat Berta's car windshield with Rain-X before the trip.
I was wondering today how much our dreams affect our waking lives. I had a very... I can't say strange... unusual dream last night, involving a gray vintage VW Beetle and a girl I don't know. There was another part where I was walking with a guy I don't know who was playing with some cards and telling me strange things. I was hiding from some people, I think I may have killed someone in my dream. As many of my more "important" dreams go, this one was pretty surreal.
So I suppose I've been thinking a lot about it today. Who was that girl? And as I describe the dream and who these people are, they're not really people that I don't know - they don't actually exist. It's not like I'm sharing my dreams with someone else. I don't buy into a collective dream state. There's no evidence for that. But I didn't want to say "dream-girl", since that implies something completely different from the role this person played in my dream.
It’s a Javascript-based RPG that runs in your browser. To anyone who doesn’t code, this game will probably seem mundane, but as I said to someone when describing it earlier, “There are very few things on the web to which I respond, ‘How did they do that?’ And this is one." Note that you right-click to cast a spell, and that your mouse cursor isn’t an arrow or index/hand, like it is everywhere else on the web.http://www.smokymonkeys.com/triglav/
