How much wood would a wood-chuck chuck, if a wood-chuck would chuck wood?

Well, no updates in a week. There hasn't really been much to talk about, things are going slow slow slow. We've been hard at work all week, but so far, little to show for it, hopefully that will change over the next couple of weeks.

I've been teaching my Spanish partner's family English and French tongue-twisters, which has been crazy, to say the least. The French "Si mon tonton ton ton tonton, ton tonton tendu sera" was especially popular.

In gaming news, I've installed Zero Hour again, hoping to get in a few epic multiplayer battles with JonB, and, as usual, I'm messing around with the .ini files already. My current pasttime is combining all of the sub-Generals' units and abilities into the original side, I.E. giving vanilla USA all of the subunits and powers from Airforce, Laser and Superweapons. I'm pretty sure I've got all the USA units done now, just need the General's Powers. Once I'm done with all three sides, it'll be time to throw in some other minor changes here and there (I'd like to give the laser tanks a continuous "stream" laser, rather than a "zap" laser, and I think the Stealth Fighter needs to be balanced vs the Aurora to make it more useful) and then try to balance the new sides to a reasonable level.

Project Lightfoot has been advancing well, but it's slowing down now, as the basic theory is coalescing nicely, and now I need to start prototyping things to see how they work for real, and to start building the world. Which means improving my (pathetic) 3d modelling skills, and finding a decent platform to prototype from.
