As web based games go, it doesn’t suck. One of the quirkier features though is that it lets you export your current ship configuration to HTML as the following ASCII art and link:

Sadly it doesn’t let you save if you’ve loaded from a ship exported in this way – it’s a kind of one-way thing really. Bit of a shame really, I rather like the game otherwise. It also appears that wordpress’s input filters have mangled the generated HTML a little. I might need to look at that.]]> http://www.jamiecraig.com/2009/09/captain-forever/feed/ 0 Tiny Mammoth http://www.jamiecraig.com/2009/01/tiny-mammoth/ http://www.jamiecraig.com/2009/01/tiny-mammoth/#comments Wed, 07 Jan 2009 20:34:48 +0000 jamie http://www.jamiecraig.com/?p=23 Array

I just finished building up a tiny mammoth kit I got from kfarrell on etsy. It’s only about 20mm high! These kits are lovely, but they’re awfully fiddly. Make sure you’ve got some tweezers before you start trying to make one; I didn’t have any and it was more than a little tricky! ]]> http://www.jamiecraig.com/2009/01/tiny-mammoth/feed/ 0 Canon 35-350 http://www.jamiecraig.com/2009/01/new-toy-canon-35-350/ http://www.jamiecraig.com/2009/01/new-toy-canon-35-350/#comments Thu, 01 Jan 2009 15:20:13 +0000 jamie http://oxygen/wordpress/?p=1 IMG_9677IMG_9712IMG_9696IMG_9708IMG_9702IMG_9700IMG_9698IMG_9709IMG_9713IMG_9710IMG_9718IMG_9694IMG_9706IMG_9704IMG_9673IMG_9695IMG_9676IMG_9715IMG_9705IMG_9711IMG_9701IMG_9681IMG_9716IMG_9717IMG_9719IMG_9703IMG_9699IMG_9675IMG_9674IMG_9679IMG_9707IMG_9714IMG_9678

Don’t blame the lens for the grubby spots or the motion blur; I really need to clean the sensor on my 5D, and in my excitement to play with a new lens I had it set up completely inappropriately for what I was shooting at first!]]> http://www.jamiecraig.com/2009/01/new-toy-canon-35-350/feed/ 0
