That's my new iMac on the right, collection of USB gadgets on the left. Not nearly as impressive as some of the rigs I've seen in the journals, but I've got enough stuff now to do pretty much whatever I wish, game dev wise.

It looks like I've broken the 4000 post mark sometime in the last few days; a clear indicator I've been hanging around here longer than is good for me [smile].

Yesterday I finished up my first Python game; I made a post on it, but I'll duplicate the code here. It's not particularly spectacular; it's…

Alongside writing up my dissertation and sketching down ideas for my webcomic project (still keen on starting that in the near future), I've finally cracked open a Python tutorial and started learning. I'm currently working through Dive Into Python - not got very far, just up to classes, but so far…

Hi everyone! Hope you've all had a good end of 2007 and are ready for an exciting new year!

Today I'm back from my trip to visit and generally hang out with family in Melbourne, and I'm preparing for 2008. It was a decent time off, although I didn't get nearly as much hobby stuff done as I thought I…

I've been procrastinating at work more than usual in this last week before Christmas. There's been a whole bunch of distractions in both end-of-year shenanigans and so on, but admittedly I'm wasting time looking forward to the holiday week. I've got plans to get stuck into projects I've been puttin…

I checked in my laptop for repairs again, meaning I'll be without my laptop over Christmas so no new Flash games over the holidays. Grr.

Since I'm annoyed I haven't been able to use my Mac software this month I'm putting in serious consideration to getting an iMac in January. It seems a bit counter-…

Well, my MacBook Pro is back and looks partly repaired, and partly broken again. The good news is that the screen appears operational again - maybe one more dead pixel (why do I keep attracting those?!), but at least the back light is on again.

The bad news is that the laptop seems to be randomly re…

Hey all. I've been lazy in posting updates and let my journal slip off the radar. Although that has something to do with my lack of actual game related progress. Annoyingly I've been geared up to play with Flash some more, but my MacBook Pro screen's backlight broke and it's been in the shop all we…

I've been neglecting this journal so long it slipped off the page. I feel guilty when that happens. Unfortunately, I feel more guilty that I don't really have anything game related to post. I've hardly had anything to do with games in the last few weeks - making or playing them. But I feel obliged …

Sorry about the lack o' updates; I've been skimping a bit in the ol' game developing department. I've been using my spare time to work on my desire to start a webcomic, although that's led to me spending a lot more time surfing the more interesting sites I've found in my "research" rather than work…
