It was good dinner, don&#8217;t get me wrong &#8212; but throughout the evening my thoughts were dominated by three distinctly anti-social questions:<\/p>\n <ul>\n <li>What is the next milestone I need to hit for my Ludum Dare entry?<\/li>\n <li>When is the earliest socially acceptable time for me to bow out and get to work on said entry?<\/li>\n <li>Dammit, I&#8217;m eating during a Compo and I don&#8217;t have a camera.<\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <p>Not all was lost: I worked out the details of my course editor over a glass or three of wine. And behold! An hour or so after my return, here it is:<\/p>\n <div id=\"attachment_24861\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-24861\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/editor1.png\" alt=\"If you're reading this, Celia, I'm only kidding.

It&#8217;s amazing what you can do with a bit of Photoshop glow and additive blending. Mmm, blending.<\/p>\n <p>Oh, and the food I failed to photograph? Homemade (vegan) pizza. Mmm, despite the distinct lack of, well, anything I&#8217;d ordinarily put on a pizza. Since I don&#8217;t have a picture, can you just envision it? Maybe?<\/p>\n <p>Ah, there you go.
