Remembering PRESTAGS

Could have been embarrassing ...

got up for Mass in a hurry, pulled on my pants.

About to go out the door, and my rear end feels very airy ...

Huge hole in seat of pants. Explains why it was feeling a little airy last night.

Better at home than at Mass though ...

New car

some comparison and interior shots of my 'new' and 'old' Camrys. The white one has more extras and is very tidy.

typepad being horribly slow loading my downsized pics. so just 2 pics for now ...

 uploaded some more - hopefully conveys that although old it is in nice condition

 

 

 

Sunset, Prestags quiz - crop circles?, filing cave

Gorgeous sunset this evening, had a quick attempt to capture it. Not that satisfied. Vantage and angle didn't do it justice. So many blasted power lines as well.

What has the chicken discovered?   PRESTAGS QUIZ - can you tell me what it was that caused this?

 

Filing cave

Bachelor food

Kangaroo burgers, pasta with fried onion and garlic + parmesan cheese and pepper, fried cabbage and soy sauce, steamed brocolli and carrot.

Plus laptop. What else do you need?

Retaliation demo ...

Hi baby, want to play a wargame with me?

Barbie Dolls

I am concerned that perhaps Thygocanberra is not posting because this blog is too macho. I have created a new category - More Sensitive Side - to enable posts that appeal to our, you guessed it, more sensitive side.

In this vein I  wish to express my disappointment that Barbie Dolls are being replaced by more realistically proportioned dolls. This is a retrograde step. There is nothing wrong with a little fantasy, especially for children.

I would have thought Thygocanberra may have used the Little House on the Prairie category, but this new category should definitely draw him out.

Speaking of Little House on the Prairie, the show was so saccharine that you could get diabetes just watching it. I grew up with three sisters, and the Saturday evening sound of the title music for Little House on the Prairie ie embedded deep in my consciousness. The father in the show was just so p-e-r-f-e-c-t that no real father could match him. And the mother was pretty much a Stepford wife. But it was a nice fantasy, and much healthier for children than most of the garbage on TV today.

When I grew up boys were boys and girls were girls. None of this unisex crap. Barbie dolls were for girls. Little House on the Prairie was for girls. Jet aeroplanes were for boys. Toy soldiers were for boys. A simplier and better time.

A place for everything and everything in its place

I am beginning to feel really comfortable with this graphical software now. I am able to guess how things should be now, rather than having to engage in empirical experiments.

I want a nice interface for initial deployment. I hate the deployment tool with Empire as you never know if your click worked until you run out of transports and they are all in the wrong city. So with this one, I am working on a little tray with all the goodies laid out. You can just drag your unit to where you want it (see the unit half off the tray in the picture), then adjust the facing (not shown). When the number underneath the units drops to zero, no more banana. You can drag the tray to where-ever you like.

Your target is the green dot with a number inside (showing the range from the deployment point). Not my best idea, but I'm sure I can improve.

Onwards!
