Tuesday night at the gym baby. Oh yeaaaa! [smile]

So this guy I met online a few weeks ago showed up at the gym again tonight. He had emailed me earlier that he was working in his backfalls, so I had just the game for him to play: The Backdrop Game. The idea is simple: you have to jump backwards off…

So if you read my previous post, the saga continues after I get home from work at around 7:30 pm. My first order of business is to get online with Sony tech support and make sure I have to start from Disc 6 every time the damn recovery system burns me a bad CD. Turns out that I do. Wunderful. By th…

So the stork stopped by my house today and dropped off a little bundle of joy. Okay okay it was really the FedEx truck but... you know.

Yup, my new laptop is finally here. First order of business? Wipe it clean and reinstall my copy of Windows XP Pro to get all this factory crap off. The hitch? Seem…

So yea, third entry of the day I know. But after posting my last entry, I noticed I still had a tab open to my order status page for my laptop. So just for kicks I hit the refresh button to see if maybe it had been at least processed and scheduled for production. Now, I last checked this page four …

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! BASTAAAARRRDSS!!"


So I checked online for the order status of my new laptop and it seems the 256MB memory sticks they need for my model (I'm having two sticks to make 512MB) is on back order with no project ship date as of yet. The projected ship date for the laptop is the 10th!…

This is mainly a brain dump for my future self, should I ever encounter this problem again that I'm having right now with one of my students. So read on if you're a teacher of some sort - otherwise you can probably skip this entry unless you like psychiatry. I don't, but looks like I'll have to app…

So here we go again [smile] If you missed the first Blast From The Past, be sure to check it out!

So happy new years to everyone and all.

I'm kinda excited about this year. I haven't had a really big year since 2001 (when I joined GI, joined GDNet, wrote for a book, restarted the NJ IGDA chapter, joined the IGDA, and some other stuff) but I think this one will see some more personal milestones, …

I don't really know why I've never used Ebay before. Thinking back, I can't come up with any real good reason, except maybe it's because I've always had this thing against used stuff. I can't explain it really but buying a used item never really made sense to me. I don't even know when I came to my…

So it's the middle of the week, which means vacation is pretty much half over, so I figured I might as well post an update.

Nothing major lately. I've been working on Katana for about 2-4 hours a day since Monday and made some good progress - the listbox widget is almost debugged finally. It's been …
