LD11 April 18–21, 2008
Compo Prep at the Zoo & Desk photo
Done!
Four hours left
I’m just posting to say that I’ll compete. But don’t get too scared, last time didn’t go that well – I ended up somewhere in the middle. This will be my third LD though, that’s got to count for something.
I’m going to try pyglet this time, the performance can’t possibly be worse than mirra that I used last time. But first, sleep – 4 am is not a good hour for creativity.
Workspace messy ..must clean.. workspace.
My desk
This time, I’m also going to send in photos of food and a time lapse video. I may as well concentrate on these categories, since I probably won’t have enough time to write a decent game. Anyway, here is a photo of my desk.

Desk Photo
Here’s my setup! That’s 1 computer and 1 laptop there. No cats this year, I just created this stack (Usually the desktop lives elsewhere.)![]()

It begins…with dinner!
My girlfriend offered to cook me dinner for LD #11, and I am really glad she did. Otherwise, I probably would have made a sandwich.
The beautiful and lovely Mandy at work:

The meal. Rice and stir fried chicken, broccoli, zucchini, carrots, garlic, and shitake mushrooms, topped with chopped spring onions and nori strips, washed down with Sapporo beer:

When
Barely three hours to go!
Okay, so here’s my flickr’d deskshot:

Got sick last night and exchanged the planned house partying for some medicine. Only more reason to focus on some desktop zen and healthy food during the compo.
Timelapse is set in place and I might give the foodcompo a shot

Pre-compo food and setup
Everyone ought to have a healthy breakfast, even if it’s at 3pm and it’s Taquitos…
And of course around the two hour mark it’s time for dinner already.
And finally I have my setup just the way I want it.
I hope things go better this time around; though I’m not quite sure what I’ll use my second lappy for at the moment…Both are running Gentoo, so both are all ready for any developing. =P
Looking at these low-quality photos reminds me that I need to get a new camera…Or maybe recharge the batteries…

Good morning..
And the theme is minimalist, like everyone who reads this blog probably knows by now. Bleh. That has no edge to it. Do something that does a little. Some ideas sprung to my mind but nothing .. interesting. Oh well, I guess I’ll think of something eventually.
Lunch pic
Akiko decided to make a traditional Japanese lunch. About half the things on display are edible by my standards (stay faaar away from those bean things), so I’m still hungry.

Woohoo.. Desk Photos! Me too…
Just my workspace photo to get into the spirit of things here..

Just a close-up of my ‘chariot’ for the competition… code in style. 😉

Don’t have any food photos to contribute as I was out to dinner in town and sorta forgot about that aspect. Well, I’ve gotta go get xchat installed now so I can be distracted by IRC too. 
health food
Food and desk picture at the same time!

… hmm.. maybe I should get some groceries real quick
