< Has never witnessed a door-to-door carolling, < suspects that's not really a thing in Australia. < Would have loved to have heard your group's carols!

< Wanted to use specific corruptions to swap Rayman's face sprites, but doing so always causes the sprite location to jump down at certain frames.

< Found a solution to this issue. Now < is going to use the ROM corruptor to make a 'cursed' Rayman Advance ROM.

But first, < is gonna take her evening walk around the block.

< still sees the fridge filled After yesterday.
< Didn't even get a taste of the wine yet. (non alcoholic, of course) Yes, non alcoholic.

< did not open any presents yet.

< is giving Qt a shot, though <'s struggling with the install process. To Google!

< probably needs to upgrade <'s Qt installation.

< has managed to successfully compile an ugly and very basic calculator using the qt widgets and C++. It's far more fiddly for < compared to using WinForms with C#, but <'s glad to make some headway.

< mostly needs to finish a secret santa < was late for

< just found out that the Solitaire that comes with Windows 10 now offers the option of guaranteed-solvable decks. Where's the fun in that?

The version of Solitaire that < downloaded for Windows 8.1 comes with the lovely feature of <'s stats, medals, or Star Club progress randomly wiping for some unknown reason. :/

< wonders if they have some mathematical method or if they just use solvable decks that they’ve collected from other people’s countless previous games

<'s been trying to set up serial over bluetooth between <'s laptop and smartphone. Sadly, it seems to work only one way, with the smartphone capable of transmitting to the laptop, but not the other way round.

< Has altered several of Rayman's animation in Rayman Advance for <'s 'cursed ROM' project, but < still needs to find the byte ranges for several of the other animations, such as skidding to a stop, idle animations, planting seeds, etc.

In fairness < would find it fun on a "how to code it myself" standpoint

< just ordered like 7 Disney classics on Blu-ray

< might be taking a little stroll around town today.
But not for too long though.

Been a very muted New Years countdown for <. < will probably watch a livestream of the London fireworks tonight though.

< hopes that Rayman Origins arrives sometime soon in this following week.

< wishes everyone a happy New Year!

< wishes everyone a happy New Year as well!

< hopes that 2018 will be less stressful.

EDIT: < Thinks < said that too soon, unfortunately.
