Saturday and Tuesday and Tuesday

[jack]

Last Saturday, I cooked dinner and had sonic, mobbsy, martin, owen, mcg, alex and rob over and to watch Tron. Thank you for coming, it was fun! I was pleasantly surprised everyone got on well. Though I think a couple of people were a bit annoyed at a sudden Poohsoc critical mass :( And Alex was reading from a different page from everyone else as to why anyone would want to watch Tron at all, but I think we all enjoyed that. I lent him a stack of books to turn him into a proper scifi geek.

Tron is good. No, it doesn't make sense factually, but most of it feel right, and looks good.

For the record, apparently red/blue used to be blue/yellow, which is why the lightcycles and a few other other things are confusingly coloured.

For the record, no you *can't* digitise someone like that. Nor do the trials and tribulations exactly make sense from a programmatic perspective.

However, can anyone explain why Flynn goes red when he attacks that guard? Do you think it's just representative of stealing his uniform?

When I first saw it I was very puzzled why this happened (No, not not as a programmer, but just as Joe Average). Does it mean something? Is it just a random effect of the physics?

Doh! Sorry, force of habit. I *invited* Martin, and he said he might come, and there were evil comments on the night, so it would be just the same whether he was there or not. (Hi Martin, if you're reading! Sorry, just kidding. It was fun, I hope you come next time.)

PS. Sorry for wibbling this morning, I was trying to schedule lots of things in my head :)
