Hi all. It's been a relatively uneventful month for me. My niece had her second birthday, and her parents held a celebration for that combined with Father's Day. She's starting to approach intelligible speech. Maybe for her next birthday I'll give her her first game system. >)

Hi all. This has been a pretty ordinary month aside from the fact that I happened to have events taking me out for the past three weekends. On the first weekend, I went to get a haircut. Not a huge event you would think, but my parents wound up with a certificate for two free men's cuts and they wanted me to use one ( Read more... )

Hi all. Not a whole lot to report this month in terms of general life happenings. I applied for a job with a company that does military simulations, which is a step closer to game development. I got to the phone interview stage, but I stumbled quite a bit on the C++ questions they asked. Such interviews tend to focus a fair bit ( Read more... )

Hi all. So as foreshadowed in my last post, I went out and bought a car. :o I went to a Hertz dealership, as they sell cars from their rental stock after a fairly small period of service, which means they're low-mileage, recent model, and well-maintained. They also do no-haggle pricing, ( Read more... )

Hi all. This has been a month of breakdowns. X) First, my car started making familiar rattling noises, and sure enough, it had run out of oil again. So I took it to my local auto mechanic, and they were able to determine (since they'd degreased the engine last time) that it was leaking oil in three ( Read more... )

Hi all. Things are settled back into the usual rhythm of life for the most part. My sister gave birth to another daughter recently, which is of course a big deal. ^.^ I went and met her last Sunday, a couple weeks after the birth. It also doubled as my sister's birthday celebration. She asked for a Blu-Ray player, which ( Read more... )

Hi all. Had a merry Christmas? :) Mine was a pleasant stay at my Grandma's place as usual. Didn't get as much game time with my brother and his wife as I have in the past due to her feeling under the weather, but that's okay, we have regular game nights at home nowadays.

Hi all. Work is still pretty slow. We knocked out as much of our second project as we could in a couple days once we got the information we needed. It's still not fully complete, but it turned out there were vital details yet to be decided, so it was back-burnered. Our next project is still uncertain at this ( Read more... )

Running To You by Newsboys

Hi all. Work is slowly getting better. Our next project is in Java, which is way more modern and streamlined than the mainframe stuff we were dealing with before. Still, getting set up with a working programming environment and example code showing the style and framework our client wants us to use proved far more ( Read more... )

Soul On Fire by Third Day

Hi all. I've had another slow month at work. It only took a couple of days worth of coding time for my team-mates to create the code modifications necessary for our project, but testing was an absolute quagmire. Other teams were modifying code related to ours and putting it in the testing environment, so anytime any of ( Read more... )
