God, I’ve been feeling so under the weather this week after having so little sleep due to the nippers odd waking hours. I’ve always had what could politely be described as an “erratic” sleeping pattern, but as I’m getting on in years I’m finding it a little bit harder than usual to actually function after being awake all night.

Oh for the days when I could pull an all nighter and still manage to creep into work (reasonably) on time. Not that I have to go to work…so thats a bit redundant then! The rest still stands, ok?

As is invariably the way when utter cream crackered, I’ve had no interest whatsoever in coding. Its been difficult enough trying to concentrate on the screen without having to concentrate on doing any coding.
Of course, I don’t get off so lightly in the quiet life stakes and have been badgered (well, asked nicely) to finish off a few things. Turned out I’d managed to miss a couple of sprites from Automania - which really confused me as I have a quite vivid memory of actually pixelling the things. Senility obviously struck early there. So, doddled my way through them - not a great deal to do anyway, but mildly irritating considering just how convinced I’d done them I was. Of course, once the pixelling urge strikes - which fortunately for my good friend Scott - it did, you then start turning to other stuff you’ve not got round to finishing.

One polite nudge later, and its back to the Finders Keepers graphics. I was so close to finishing them just before Christmas, but with being rushed off starting the decorating (which incidentally, never got finished) and then falling ill I kinda drifted away from them and sort of forgot to ever go back to them. There’s somewhere in the region of 10/11 sprites left to do so I’ve been banging into them the past two days. Got a couple of the nasties finished off and the final two traders (Anna is a very fetching young lady now). So, 2 more nasties and the rest is wall tiles I think. Oh - and a giant pussy.

A quick plug before I go for my article which made it into this months Way Of The Rodent on the cracking little Flash game - Hamare Su. I don’t write nearly as much as I should these days (both text and music) due to a distinct lack of time, but thats certainly something I aim to remedy over the next few months. The last article I managed to sit down and complete was for the as yet unpublished Rewind Issue 2 - so many idea’s, so little time.

Anyone got an extra hour in the day they don’t want?
