Base for marble track

10:27am JST Tuesday 5 August 2008 (day 14013)

Bringing the base for my new marble track to work today. Since it appears I won't be making it super-easily levelled, I do plan to make a stop-action movie of its construction. So first I'll be making a camera holder to stablize the camera relative to the track. Not sure how to keep consistent lighting, but if I do the whole thing inside at my office, it should work out relatively well.

I plan to make the camera holder primarily with chopsticks.

11:06am JST

As opposed to my regular request for no bag and no chopsticks when getting food at a convenience store, today I got no bag and three pairs of chopsticks. One good thing though: these choppers happen to actually be bamboo instead of wood from China.

Making progress

4:25pm JST Tuesday 5 August 2008 (day 14013)

Today, overall, has been a more progressive day than last week, overall. Progress per time spent. Anyway, got some coolness done: the actual labels of the page change depending on what options are selected by the user. So if they choose Japan, the states are called Prefectures. Wait. No they're not. wtf? I thought I had that part fixed. Anyway, though *that* part isn't working quite as planned, the text on the screen changes according to the user's location choice, *and* their language preferences.
