You can also get the expanding foam post fix, but, I wouldnt trust it really, especially where I live on the side of a valley and when the storms blow in the right direction, whistling down the valley, nowt is safe!

Cannot beat a breaky uppy mode, saves the hand cramps and chipped knuckles knocking ten bells out of a chod of conc with a hammer and chisel.

I have a massive JCB drill with a concrete breaky uppy mode which has got me out of jail free a couple of times replacing rotted fence posts that has been concreted in.

Putting my 2 deckings in.... I've dug enough post holes to last me a life time... I feel sorry for the future poor sod who may want to shift'em... Like most things I do, I tend to go over the top, and as such, I've probably got shares in postcrete! :D

Consult a qualified electrician for compliance with BS 7671 and local building Regs! Avoid areas where future digging is likely. ;)

That depends on where the cable is to run. Minimum depth in a garden in 450mm. Under pavements 600mm.

Two "project" ideas that I've had (one is more 'adult' in nature)

I'm still working on my current game, but am unsure where to take it from here.

But - I had an idea for whatever my next project would be (probably a turn based tactical game in either a dungeon or space installation).

But...I had two side-ideas that relate to developing this project:

Idea 1: Record the development of the game from start to finish with a screen capture program - all the development...and then of course upload it sped up 10-20x since a lot of the time as anyone who develops knows is very dry and boring doing nothing much at all beyond looking at a screen and thinking.

Idea 2: Using a second monitor play a distracting 'film' or such on the second screen and try to code the game while this is playing at the same time. For example - an automated rotation of randomly selected 'camgirls' (adult stuff) that play on the second screen off to the left or right while I'm coding/doing graphics etc and trying to do my work as a silly humourous attempt to do my work under 'distraction techniques'....a bit of harmless fun. (Potentially record my development of the game as well with this too)....(does cost money though - I'd need to buy a second monitor).

Personally I think the second could be harmless fun. But it would be better if I had an actual task assigned by someone to complete with a proper spec to work from, then it feels like I'm having to do a 'job/work' under silly conditions like that.

Idea 1: You'd need to speed it up more than 20x otherwise it'd still take more than two weeks (based on average game development time frame) for somebody to watch it. But I don't think anyone would. I wouldn't bother.

Idea 2: What you get up to in the privacy of your own trousers is your business.  :o

Dabzy

Idea 1: Same as what Gfk said, but, you could create a game and document it with a bit of narration... So, not exactly a "speed run" setup, more like a make-umentary!

Idea 2: Erm.... Dirty boy! :P

If you've dug yourself into a hole. Just keep digging. You're bound to come out the other side eventually.

Im your man for idea 2  ::)

Also, As a long shot idea. You mentioned a turned based game.

Do you remember the old Text Adventures? I remember Inca curse on the ZX81.

You were in an Incan temple and had to escape form it. Mix it up with a bit of Final Fantasy. And play the Text adventure in a graphical sense along the lines of Final fantasy.

If you think its a totally shite idea? It was just a thought.  :-X
