Mouth full of cubes - 2004-04-13 - Entry 452 - TOGoS's Journal

Spent most of today and yesterday working on TE3D. I've got the basic scripting business down, now. But there's some bug in bimage__load that makes it go into an infinite loop and stop, which is strange as it... I bet I know why it is. Has to do with segments and file descriptors. But I've gotta study biology and physics.

I just took a couple hours of nap.

I had a dream in which Ben and Fizz and Matt and everybody lived in this big building that I had defined a couple long routes through (whatever that means; I remember frawing some big square lines through it with some program). Sometimes I went way up near the top in the back where people didn't go often, but you could see down through to a lot of balconies on different floors from a balcony up there. I was practicing jumping down from there to a balcony 2 floors lower and startling people (in this case Ben), but I think I scared him or something and he killed me.

Then there was something about this guy wanting a matress but the inflatable thing he had wasn't the right kind for making a matress so he didn't. And Dad and Jon and I were doing this thing with tomatoes. You'd cut lots of little cuts into the edge of a tomato slice and it was supposed to make it sour or something. I couldn't taste it.

And there was some part about this guy in a certain kind of little car trying to run me over.

Fizz and I were noticing how just about everyone was driving SUVs (except for the little car guy). As we were running (!) down the highway out of Dubuque (!) I started asking random people what kind of car they usually drove (as we ran along side them). This one girl that had been giving a presentation or something started talking about all her cars but I wasn't really listening.

Then it was like I was riding in the van. It was still night out, and we were driving through platteville, except it was all highway-y and had 3 Marcus cinemas in it. Each time we'd go by one, I would see the sign and my mouth would fill with all these little white inedible cubes, and I'd have to cough them up and spit them out and it was very uncomfortable and annoying. The advertisements didn't have that effect on anyone else, so it was just a bug in their code that only affected my configuration. I figured as soon as I could I would find a way to block their ads. So after we had passed the last one...I got transported into a movie that was playing there. This movie took place in a shower room, so I went to a computer in the shower room and started googling for "mouth full of cubes" and the like. Somehow I discovered how to access my config file that affected these advertisements and made a line like so:

config ad Off Off Off 0 0 0 - Marcus Cinemas

That fixed the problem.

I woke up at about 21:30. Now I have to study bilogy and Physics as I have tests in both of those tomorrow.
