Brief Hiatus

I'm just temporarily logging in while I'm having lunch somewhere.

I've lost my internet connection at home, and it's probably going to be pretty erratic over the next few weeks. Between paying more important bills (such as food and electricity), and then moving house at some random time over the next couple of weeks, I can't be sure when I'll get the chance to post anything. I might have to make use of the free wi-fi internet at coffee shops or McDonald's fast food restaurants if the withdrawal symptoms get too bad.

I'll still be plugging away at various projects, and hopefully when things settle down, there will be some great new things to reveal to the world.

Being a wireless nomad sucks, I've been at it for various complicating reasons for the last two years or so, but soon I will have sweet, sweet high speed internet in my home again.

Is a cellular wireless modem w/subscription a viable option for you? I have some friends who have been very happy with those, but for me the 'use anywhere' feature doesn't outweigh the cost and slow speed/limited bandwidth.

Good luck with moving and such.

I've got access to a pre-paid wireless internet dongle-thingie...but that's a worst case scenario device. Living the free life of a wireless nomad is fine at the moment. I've got limited intrenet access through college (where I've resumed some study in web design and multimedia studies).

Hopefully I'll have a more secure connection to the information superhighway before the end of the year.

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 7)

A working computer and scanner...that means it is time to get back to work on the geomorph sequence. A lot of the discussion in this set of tutorials has been focused around square geomorphs. They're the easiest for most people to wrap their heads around.  But my preferred form of geomorph is based around the hexagon, these tend to produce more organic and interesting shapes. This is true for natural environments, but it's no less true for urban environments. The example set of geomorphs above as a simple two-phase system. One edge type is plain, the other edge type has a road piercing the centre. There could be dozens of combinations and permutations for each of the two phases around the hexagonal edges, but a quick look at the variety of buildings and road shapes shows that there could literally be hundreds of possible options when drawing these map fragments. But you certainly don't need to create hundreds of designs for the system to be effective. Usin

A Guide to Geomorphs (Part 1)

Image
After numerous requests to get back to map tutorials, it's time to start our new series. This time focusing on the concept of geomorphs, modular map fragments that can be mixed and matched. We'll start with a couple of theoretical tutorials before sinking into a few more practical posts. I'm predicting a dozen or so posts in this sequence, but let's see how long it lasts.
