The results (and more waffle)

Responses to the challenge in my last entry have come flooding in, and neither of them were correct. Actually I was surprised at the lack of guesses, as when I ask something as mundane as what shape people like their sandwiches, it sparks a huge debate that keeps resurfacing in my inbox for days. Still, from these results I can conclude that not only is my password non-obvious, but people aren't really that bothered about what it is anyway - this makes for a pretty safe livejournal if you ask me.

I'm sure I was going to write about something here, but I've forgotten what it was. I've been doing my gigantic project plan on and off today (mostly off) and I've only got about three thousand words into it. With the amount of reporting and documentation that we're expected to produce, it's rather difficult to imagine when we'll have time to actually open up Emacs or some other less mad editor and get to work on the projects themselves.

Another inhibition to the completion of the project is the continual rediscovery of games that I didn't know I had on my hard drive - this afternoon Whitney was most impressed with Toejam and Earl 2 for its almost Tombi-like lunacy. It's true that there are no pigs with pitchforks in it, but not every game has adversaries like ghost cows or naked men in cardboard boxes singing "Figaro".

Speaking of Tombi, I noticed that it had a torrent at the bottom of this page if anyone doesn't think that they've had enough Japanese madness recently. Unless you're in ResNet, in which case you can't (but if you are in ResNet then I'm surprised that you can get to this page at all, to be frank). Enough of this - I'll try and gather some thoughts together and piece together something that resembles an interesting read for tomorrow.
