BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: Miniseries (2003)
(Ragnar Anchorage - Adama and Leoben are in some sort of room with lots of pipes and steam. Leoben is extremely pale and sweaty now.)
Leoben: What is it about this place? What's it doing to me?
Adama: Must be your allergies.
Leoben: I don't have allergies.
Adama: I didn't think so. What you got are silica pathways to the brain, or whatever it is you call that thing you pretend to think with. It's decomposing as we speak.
Leoben: It's the storm, isn't it? It puts out something. Something you discovered has an effect on Cylon technology. That's it, isn't it? And this is a refuge, that's why you put a fleet out here. Last ditch effort to hide from the Cylon attack. Right, well, that's not enough Adama.

Some other things I would really rather be doing right now.
1. I miss playing SimCity 4 by Maxis. I love that game. I have been buying their product since the first version. I hope in SimCity 5 they bring back the terrain editor that allows adjustment on a tile-by-tile basis. That diametrical tool is interesting, but I prefer a finer control over the terrain because I can better sculpt lakes and beaches. I am also hoping they add to the next version the ability to drive through the city in the point of view of a person in the game. I think SimCopter did something like that but I never tried that game. Lately I've been thinking of a new way to lay out a city structure for one of the mega-sized plots. On one edge, maybe the longest, I'll lay down a zone of Industrial and let it run the whole lenght. I set the tax rates to the maximum for the two polluters so I only get High Tech companies. It doesn't bring in as much revenue as the heaviest polluter, but pollution is light and then I can put high-density residential next to it and have it reach a greater potential. I am also thinking more about those dual-lane city streets. I've tried using the highway structures through the city, but I don't see much value to it, unless I put down a lot of them and then they take up a lot of space that could be generating revenue. Typically, I put down 6x6 blocks of Tech Industry, hi-density residential, and high-density commerical, with two-lane streets around them. I always leave a 3-tile section empty and one corner of the 6x6 block for a bus station, a subway station, and a single tile park. What I'm thinking of doing is putting down the dual-lane road around every 2x2 block of those 6x6 blocks. I've looked at putting down the monorail but that just takes up too much space and I don't like the way it messes up the symmetry. It's too bad the track doesn't share space with a road, maybe only the dual-lane road, in that the track occupies the median. So anyway, I start at the edge and run tech all the way. Then I put down a 6x6 block of high-density residental, maybe with a dual-lane between them, not sure how the symmetry would work out yet. So, from the edge, I have a 6x6 strip of high-tech, then a 6x6 strip of high-density residential. Then I would allow for at least 4 empty tiles for hospitals, schools, etc. I may need to make it 6 tiles, but I'm not sure. Then I would put down another 6x6 strip of high-density residential and then a 6x6 strip of high-density commercial. The cool part about this is that I could then put down another 6x6 strip of high-density commercial and just sort of mirror the three previous sections. With this wide section of commerce, I would have space to put in the rewards elements so that they wouldn't have an adverse impact on my residential sections. I think high-tech industry is equivalent to residential in terms of nimby/yimby. I'm not sure how the dual-lane roads would work out as I am laying out the strips from left to right, but it would be simple to put them down while going up and down, probably with two 6x6 blocks between them. When I am getting the city started, I would put down a lot of the heavy polluters on the left hand side and run them up that side, while running my residential and commerce to the right and away from the pollution. After I raise the taxes to maximum, the polluters will stay in operation as long as something doesn't happen such as losing power and some kind of destruction.
2. I would much rather be playing Command And Conquer right now. I have been following that product since its first version too. They haven't made any real improvements in a long time, but they have a scenario/terrain editor that is useful. The AI is impossible to beat, for me at least, unless you get the right kind of terrain. Basically, if you have some kind of choke point, you can consolidate your forces and fight off the assaults.
3. I've got a lot of ideas I want to work on with ASP.Net that I can't do now. I can't do it for two big reasons. One, I have absolutely no control over who is monitoring my work. There are many reasons I don't like that. One, is that I don't like people looking over my shoulder as I am trying to work.
There's a bunch of other stuff I want to do now but those are the ones most on my mind at this moment.

I actually may try creating 3 cities that feature mixed approaches to the dual-lane roads. In one city, I'll take my normal approach where I don't use them. In the second city, I'll use the mix I was thinking of yesterday. In the third city, I use the dual-lanes around every 6x6 block of high-density zones. I can't remember how the intersections work out though. I think they are like the 2 lanes, but can't remember for certain. I have also been wondering if I can boost the population of the mega-cities by changing my approach to the adjacent cities. Maybe if I configure the smaller adjacent cities so that they are light on residential but heavy on heavy industry, I will have sim residents that work in the adjacent cities but live in the mega-city.

The problem is that the high-density high-tech Industry doesn't seem to fill up the high-density Residential. I assume that I need a balance of I, C, R, in that I need a tile for each. Or for every tile of high-density I, I need a tile of high-density R. That doesn't seem to work for high-tech though, as it doesn't seem to employ that many people per tile.
Someone made a SimCity-equivalent for the moon that was really cool.

In addition to those song lyrics this morning, I do remember a scene from one of my dreams. I was in a house, I didn't recognize it but it was really fancy and I guess I didn't recognize it because I had never lived in any place like it, or something like that. I was moving across the floor passing a staircase and I had a blanket over me, with an opening at the front so I could see where I was going. As I was moving towards a hallway, a pair of feet appeared in front of me. I think it was my mother. I was trying to make it to the hallway because I was hunting a deer, which made no sense because I was inside, and the hallway gave me a perfect shot to a deer that was at the other end of the hallway. I don't remember what my mother said, if anything, but sometime around that point, I remember someone telling me I was clever. I don't remember anything else happening in the dream after that.

[Seen a lot of familar stuff on BSG too. One of the most obvious references, to me I guess, considering when I walked into a retail store the other day the song playing reminded me that I am so vain to think the song was about me and then an employee asked me if I wanted to participate in a contest for homeowners and which I realized later was pretty funny, was about a reference to ddg-62 engines. The DDG-62 is the USS Fitzgerald. The Fitzgerald is named for a Navy Cross recipient whose first fleet assignment was the first USS Samuel B. Roberts.
The photo below from the USS Fitzgerald reminds me of just how big are those Harpoon missiles. We had those same missiles on the Wainwright although I didn't have any responsibilities with them. But I wonder often if you feel differently when a known weapon is coming at versus a missile that you don't know a lot about. If I could have chosen between having an Exocet shot at me or a Harpoon, I would have definitely chose the Exocet.]

This connection to Battlestar Galactica reminds me of a time back in '99 when I told my mentor that I had gotten up early that morning because the SciFi channel was playing reruns of the original series. It was right around then, maybe a little later, that she said something about doing something so that her son wouldn't grow up to be like me. I wondered what the hell she meant by that.
BSG also shares a familar characteristic with the MK152 computer Tactical program, although I haven't discussed that with anyone. It was just a trivial feature though, to indicate that the tac program was running. I easily wrote my own routine in octal that performed the same function. I suspect the original programmers actually put that feature in the program, because they needed a visual indicator and that they were fans of the original BSG.

She must have been referring to what those people were saying when I was at that house for the Superbowl party. I was out riding bicycles with one of the people at that party some time later that year and I was describing how my hobby as a kid was building model rockets and then I became a missile system computer technician. I was very annoying when one of the people there made some kind of comment comparing missiles to some kind of phallic symbol. I dismissed it as some kind of anti-military hippie talk. But it also reminded me of something that happened at another job I had in the early nineties. I didn't start figuring it out until I had quit that job and went elsewhere though. My manager at that job had turned out to be a closeted homosexual and I realized after I left that job that some people had been giving me clues about stuff he was saying about me. We had a support contract with a bank and I had a good rapport with all our customers. A lot of them even invited me along to group activities such as after work dinners, etc. I had been working there for 2 years before he had and I thought he was a real dirtbag. My future ex-wife, whom I had tried to break up with several always found a way to get me back. One time, she told me she had slept with this manager after I had broke up with her, another time she told me she had slept with my coworker, another time she told me she was pregnant, another time, after I finally got her out of my house despite threatening to call the police to have her removed while she kept unplugging the phone cord, she ran her car off into a ditch that night so I would let her stay the night at my house. I am either a loner because I attract these freaks or I attract these freaks because I am a loner. Or maybe both.
