I'm honestly sorry to hear that. Even though I'm only some guy on the other side of the monitor and nothing can be said to make the situation any better, you have my deepest sympathies.

headdie · **Reply #19481 on:** February 15, 2012, 05:40:25 pm

Damn Flipside, my thoughts are with you mate.

watsisname · **Reply #19482 on:** February 15, 2012, 06:22:13 pm

Oh man.

I'm sorry I'm not too good with comforting words, but you have my best regards. We all care for you here.

CommanderDJ · **Reply #19483 on:** February 15, 2012, 07:28:28 pm

My sympathies for you also, Flipside.

Well, it's about time you all knew, my Father is in the last few days of terminal cancer, he is currently downstairs in the front room being fed by a tube in his throat because he cannot eat, and he does not even have the strength to pull the covers back over him if they come off. To put it bluntly, we are on deathwatch.

So if I snap at someone or start acting irrationally over the coming days or weeks, please don't take it personally.

Be happy that you're with your father for his last days. I had the infinite pleasure of being wholly uninformed of my grandfather's path to his deathbed and wasn't told that anything was even wrong until <12 hours before he died. Meanwhile, my father (who was there and well-informed) didn't think to make the damn phone call.

Thanks guys

@Bob-San, yes, he is where he would chose to be for his final days, with his family around him, and even though he barely responds to us, I think he is, at least, content.

It's always difficult for all parties involved; as I said, be glad that you're there. You've been given another day or week or however long to be with him.

Sincere condolences, Flip. You're a strong bloke.

I know a bit how that feels: My uncle died of a dangerous infection --- He died whilst he was recovering. So whilst everyone thought that he had made it, he died anyway

.

But anyway --- Condolances, Flipside. I have no idea how it would feel, so it will be a fat conselation, but still.

my game engine now knows how to tell time, oddly i had planned to work on making my console window dockable. funny how you never do the thing you planned. though this does lay the foundation for physics. i now have timestamps, frametime, and fps computation. should also keep track of paused time, but i need to add a pause mode for it to be useful. it was dificult because timing isnt something lua does well. its built-in os time functions are only accurate to a second. fortunately the socket module has a timing function proper, and i had planned to use that module for multiplayer anyway.

I've been where you are Flip.
Best of luck

Why am I still awake it's 4:23 AM

Oh wait, I know why! It's because I was awake until 6 AM yesterday!

Nuke · **Reply #19492 on:** February 16, 2012, 07:02:56 am

it was probibly a waste of time but i made my debug console dockable. iup is a ****ing awesome gui library. it so easy to make do what you want, unlike wxlua which is just a convoluted mess with pages of worthless machine generated documentation that sucks and is completely inintelegeble. anyway i thoroughly tested the timing features, and put some work into enhancing the keyboard controls. tomorrow, i hope, i can do some camera and object stuffs. so i can do more than make a model spin. i still need to revamp my matrix maths for column row order, opengl is wierd like that (actually its probibly the most elegant library ive used, so who gives a **** how its matrices work). though knowing me, il waste the day fixing bugs.

Colonol Dekker · **Reply #19494 on:** February 16, 2012, 10:01:42 am

How old's she ?

Dilmah G · **Reply #19495 on:** February 16, 2012, 10:24:50 am

She's 15. And just got rushed to the Emergency Ward of Fremantle Hospital (for the West Aussies around here).

Colonol Dekker · **Reply #19496 on:** February 16, 2012, 11:07:28 am

Why? Hope she's not done anything silly?

Dilmah G · **Reply #19497 on:** February 16, 2012, 11:09:27 am

I found a suicide note and blood in her room, but fortunately some kind fella found her tonight...passed out on an intersection and called an ambulance.

Colonol Dekker · **Reply #19498 on:** February 16, 2012, 11:13:30 am

Goes without saying, you've got our best wishes for what they're worth.
*manhug*

headdie · **Reply #19499 on:** February 16, 2012, 11:39:41 am

Best wishes to you, your sister and your family and I hope you all are able to help her
