I have 2 spare tickets to go see a recording of "The Deadly Knowledge Show" hosted by Dave Berry on Friday the 25th August at 4:00pm. If anyone would like to come along with Jane and me, please email me at the address on my info, or text/call me on my mobile - available to those who know and to those who ask.

The recording's taking place at Whiteley's centre on Queensway, West London (W2 4SB).

At the moment we have no other firm plans for the weekend. Anyone in London or the southern area fancy doing anything on Sat, Sun or Mon of the bank holiday weekend? We'll have a car, so anything goes :)

The highlights of this evening included hoovering, washing and tidying the kitchen, and sewing up the enormous hole in the crotch of my other half-decent pair of trousers. I've no idea how long it'll last, I must admit, as it's my first serious attempt at sewing up holes :)

I came up with a project today on the way home. I've been playing around with the Bloodshed Dev-C++ IDE for a while, doing some basic C++ to try and figure out how much I remember. It's surprising how much I do, but I'm worried about how out of practice I am and how long it took me to figure out how to do some basic things.

I was wondering how easy it would be to do a simple traffic simulation. I'm wondering if it's even possible for me, as I haven't done this stuff for a while. All I want to do is a basic motorway sim, assuming basic single laned traffic flow and allowing for variances in speed of individual vehicles. Shouldn't be too hard. Right?

<lj-cut text="Musings> So we start off with a vehicle class. Possible members: o Speed o Vehicle in front o Vehicle behind o Length? o Min distance from car in front The simplest way would be to have a fixed length array with each vehicle class taking up /length/ elements in the array. Dynamically sized linked lists are another option, how do I then cope with empty space? I'll get there. </lj-cut> Bed now.
