Bitscape is going to fall asleep very soon, if he hasn't already.
Tonight, Bitscape stuck around the office for a few extra hours in exchange for a yummy dinner from Amici's.
(So you might call me a food whore.)
Right now, trying to think of something to ramble is proving a tad difficult. Perhaps because my brain feels a little like a dried raisin. (Is there any other kind?)
But I have a strange, silly grin on my face, and I'm not quite sure why. Maybe it was because of that song.
It is a restaurant where dae buy food ta eat
It is a good place to listen to the music
...
Rock and roll McDonald's
Rock and roll McDonald's
Rock and roll McDonald's
Rock and roll McDonald's
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuh.
uh uh uh.
[Just for the hell of it, Bitscape gets up, grabs a DVD, and throws it into his PC.]
Braindecompose
Drunk by six
Kissing some kind stranger's lips
I'm not happy
Not happy
[Full screen mode for a few minutes.]
Ya know, I just had a really nutty idea. What if the flicrew project, as it was originally planned, were to be resurrected and implemented? (How many of those early plans, drawings, documents, and whatnot, actually still exist?)
Anyone who was not originally involved will probably have know idea what I'm talking about. But I was just thinking: All that stuff that we wanted to do back then that would have taken literally years to render on our at the time single-tasking PC's could be done much more practically with our current hardware.
And this idea of finding some wacky VCR which would record single frames at a time through a video production card, and distribute copies on VHS... Obsolete. Now, we just get an mpeg encoder, and distribute the mighty production online. (Back then, the thought of doing full screen animated video on a PC was but a faraway dream.)
It's a thought, anyway. From a tired mind. Doesn't mean I'm gonna jump up and start back into it this weekend. (Actually, I intend to finish last weekend's embrace and extend job on Jaeger's Collective satellite code.) Just a wild thought. Technologically, it is now a much more practical possibility, now that we're all far too busy on all sorts of other activities to really spent serious time working on the project.
Ho hum. Well, I'm gonna zone and sleep. My brain needs it. Peace, vultures.
