" What would you do with a room if you were
basing it solely on the phrase "There are seven layers"?
"
i'd probably have seven long platforms, with, like,
stuff moving around in each one, but that's just
me.
" I read this article on Bob Dylan the other day,
and it said that during his first pot trip, Paul
McCartney scribbled the above on a sheet of paper,
believing it to be the meaning of life. "
oh, pot's
like that. the amount of times i have read things i
had written while stoned and thought ----"WTF??"
:)
usually, the problem is not the insight, but your
inadequacy to write down the insight you are getting (or
language's inability to contain the insight). i'm sure there
really *are* seven layers, in one way of speaking or
another... (problem is, which one?)
incidentally, i
stumbled into the 'memory map' in jswed today and realised
that you can have three guardian tables and loads of
extra sprite tables - the memory is just sitting there!
you guys had probably worked this out but there's me,
trying to conserve guardian slots, quite oblivious
:)
