Data Entry, Thesis-Wrangling, Moar Beetles

[gnommi]

I've acquired a paying job on a very ad hoc basis, doing data entry for a clinical trial so at least I shan't starve in the immediate future. Also I now have a more-or-less working copy of EndNote that doesn't need to connect (HA!) to the web every time I want to use it. Today's beetle is in a particularly flippant vein, to reflect my celebratish mood.



Oh, I joined DeviantArt too, in a spirit of experimentation, but it has the most retarded search function I've ever seen. That or I am just Too Old To Use The Internet. Which is possible. Anyone have a better clue than me? Also is it *really* 90% furry pr0n and bad fan art or am I looking at it wrong?

Web game maybe, "Beetle manager" then "Championship beetle manager" and on to "World beetle manager". A Tale In The Desert let you breed 3D scarab beetles, which look like this (http://atitd.org/wiki/tale4/Jade_Scarab)

Making a 3D beetle who can walk around is very time-consuming, but it's possible. Something like Blender would do it, a machine that can play WoW ought to be able to run Blender somewhat. If you wait until you're done writing up, Blender 2.5 might be out, which should have a shallower learning curve.

But actually I really like these naturalist-style sketches. I don't think any 3D beetle, no matter how brilliantly constructed and artfully animated, would move me the same way.

something like Monster Rancher with beetles would be awesome
