I’ve been making some headway on my senior project. One of my main concerns was how to tell a bee object to go to the location of its target (say, a honeycomb), and then proceed to go there while facing in that direction. The cool thing is now I’ve solved that problem by making the bee take the difference between its current location and its target’s location, and travel along that vector. In other news, my roommate’s laptop and my router seem to be feuding. Regardless of which wifi card we put into his laptop, the router will refuse to give his computer an IP address. His computer uses a Chinese-language version of Windows XP, making things much more complicated for me to diagnose. Next on the “try to install windows list” is Windows XP 64 bit edition. This installer also bit the dust on my hardware (resulting in a Machine Check Exception). I’m thinking that the problem centers around my add on SATA card. I have the driver disks but that does not seem to help. I might give vista another chance, but doing a slightly different install procedure. Evidently Vista will only recognize drivers if they are placed alone, on the root of a device. I’ll seriously have to consider dusting off some floppies now. I was surprised to see the day when Linux had better hardware support than Windows. Woohoo!
