We Are All On Drugs
So... Mass Effect 2 is remarkably kick-ass. I have one complaint about the game: it's chewing into my Bayonetta time [crying]


Also, sleep is for the weak.




And now back to your regularly scheduled lack of content. (What? I'm busy! Got games to play, things to do! Get off my case.)

Mmm, goodies.
Last week my nice happy 22" monitor on my main workstation decided to die. That's left me with just two 17" 1280x1024 displays to use, and that just doesn't cut it for serious development anymore. (Two or three instances of Visual Studio, a half dozen Notepad windows, a couple of Skype discussions,…

Juicy crunchy tasty sweet
I've scraped together a couple of free hours and spent some time hacking on Epoch Release 8 this weekend. A couple of minor task-list items have been knocked out, and I've done some architectural improving in the parser to help boost compile times.

At the moment I'm working on Issue 9 which involves…

The Hardcore Development Box
Recently, I've been doing some Unix-land hackery for various bits of fun and profit. Very long story short, I've strayed from OpenBSD (my first choice of Unixes) into the wilds of FreeBSD, because of some wireless driver compatibility issues. From there I've returned to Linux, which I left a long t…

Please. Kill. Me.
Let's just say that you should generally make decisions on how to clean up your memory before you're 300,000 lines deep into your project. Updating all of that code to use smart pointers is a bitch.


[Addendum] In a similar vein, if you spend the bulk of the day waiting on a JDK compile on your secon…

*Poke*
I just realized that I haven't posted here since July.


I kind of left on a bad note, I guess. The intervening months have been, for lack of a less loaded word, completely insane. I've been on and off my medication, in and out of carefully monitored family care, and into a few other situations I'd ra…

The Thing That Should Not Be
My clock reads 1:00 AM exactly. So does my cell phone, which I've obsessively checked every 30 seconds for as long as I've been awake.

At least, I think that's what I've been doing; my short term memory is so butchered I can barely remember what I'm trying to document here. Gaps in my recollections …
