So do we have any musicians in the house? Composer folk? People looking to delve into the field of game audio? Hopefully our non stop slew of programming and... uhm... programming articles (with a bit of design and biz/production thrown in every now and again) haven't scared off all the people who …

VGXpo Coverage is finally up, sorry it took longer than I expected. Good stuff there - for anyone looking to get into the games industry, I definitely recommend the read!
I mentioned in an earlier entry doing a little piece on slimming down Firefox. All the things I've done have been taken from the …

NaNoWriMo Entry #1
I finally spent some more time writing tonight, another 1:48 that netted me only 1,602 words, which is just beneath daily quota and so I'm still behind 5,515 words. But if I fall further behind at least this Saturday I actually have the entire day to myself with which to spend wri…

So I was in Philly this past weekend attending the VideoGameExpo (VGX) Breaking In conference. Philly is only about 1.5 hours from me, so I drove in both days. I've never driven into the city before, so of course when I got off the highway on Saturday I was of course instantly stuck in gridlocked t…

Howdy folks. In case you don't know, this is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and I'm trying once again to pen a 50,000 word short novel. My last attempt was back in 2005. I skipped it last year and now I'm back at the drawing board. 2005 netted me a whopping 7 pages and 4,689 words. I thin…

I banged this out in 30 mins or so using Paint.Net. It's a layered image so I'll be pulling elements out of it to use in the prototype. I'm going to code some basic functionality tomorrow, which means flying ships around the screen. Wheee. I'm not going to say any more about it, but I'm excited to …

News?
Just stopping by to do some updating. Nothing much exciting has happened in the past week, though Dave and Lissa are being threatened by the California wildfires, so cross your fingers for them. I still see em online but yesterday Lissa told me they were probably moving out for a while because…

I finally sat down and completed my IGC coverage, which amassed 8 pages in Word and took me the better part of 5 hours to write up, referencing my notes and researching online and all that wonderful stuff. But hey, if you missed out then you can at least get filled in on what you happened to miss s…

I really really really really wanna go to bed but this just can't wait till I wake up again. I started to back up files to Mozy before I went to bed and I happened to notice something that made me laugh out loud quite suddenly - it seems Mozy has a SimCity fan in their programming dep…

So I'm finally back from IGC after spending an extra day in Eugene thanks to a canceled flight, but that worked out because I was able to attend the TGB boot camp instead of being stuck twiddling my thumbs and toes all day. I had a great time and accomplished many things for GDnet, Bl…

So I show up at the check-in desk at the airport last nite to learn that my flight to San Fran has been canceled. The lady at the desk managed to get me on an alternate flight heading out at around the same time though, with a first-class upgrade as well. So that was pretty good. But then when the …

So I was getting my ass handed to me by Davey Jackson in Soul Calibur III so I challenged him to some Guitar Hero riff-offs and we went to plug in the GH controllers but for some reason they refused to work. We had to hook up some sort of adapter to get the controllers to work with PS3 and while we…

So last night didn't go exactly as planned - many of the GG guys realized shortly after the conference that they were beat and didn't really make it back to the office. Davey and I just played some Soul Calibur with Brian Richardson before they went out to grab some dinner. So I just chilled on the…

Hey people. I'm sitting on the nice comfy couch in the center of the GG common area here in the offices just chillen out after the last day at IGC. Josh Williams gave a keynote this morning to further demystify the deal that went on between GG and IAC several months ago, ensuring developers that GG…

Great day today. Woke up early and got out to the conference venue early. Picked up Rich's badge and went out to find something to eat for breakfast. Came back and chowed down while waiting for the keynote to start. Alex Seropian form Wideload Games gave a nice speech on the state of indie games an…

So I was sitting next to Randy Dersham during the morning for the keynote and InstantAction lecture. He's the big player for IA and getting games on the platform. I showed him a quick look at GC saying I'd like to demo it for him later. Lunchtime came around and he was gone. I think I scared him aw…

Tues 10/9
I was going to make this a decently detailed entry, but it's gotten too late for something like that. Also, the internet here at my friends house isn't too good on the upload for some reason and so I can't get any pictures online anyways. I'm going to try tomorrow - hopefully they will hav…

I took a little time to kick back and relax tonight after spending around two hours on my monthly report to the board of directors here at GDnet. Yes, we have a board of directors. See? You learn something new every day. If you're wondering exactly what I mean, check out our company chart. Oh and n…

The Biggest Article Yet
if you haven't looked at it yet, the recent programming article, 20 issues of porting C++ code on the 64-bit platform, is the largest article I've personally posted to date. In fact, when I uploaded the entire HTML content to the database, it spat at me:

Awesome, I just spent two hours way earlier tonight (from 10pm to 12am) shooting the first scene of my short fight film. Before I go any further, let me stress exactly what I mean when I say "film". This is not a home movie. This is not shot by me and my buddies with a Handycam. A good friend of mi…

There was something else I had forgotten earlier this morning. Each new entry I'm going to be posting up links to my favorite free applications (some are paid for, but the majority are free) for the rest of you to take advantage of. Some of them are very mainstream, others not so much. Hope you can…

Just wanted to mention that I signed up for Mozy's online backup service this week. I've been a really bad person when it comes to data back-ups. Heck I rarely even use CVS to keep track of my code changes. Call me lazy, call me old-fashioned. Whatever. I've been fortunate enough never to lose any …

John posted a review up and scheduled it to appear next Thurs. Well, it showed up today. So ok, I moved the two articles before it back two days. Check the schedule for the changes. Nothing major, but in my last post I did promise an article tonight so I wanted to make sure no one was confused as t…

My monitor came today on schedule, NewEgg hasn't failed me yet. I unboxed it in record time and threw it together and put it on my desk... geez this thing really is monstrous. It has only like 3" of clearance beneath my desk light. Anyways I plugged it on and configged it no problem, and now I have…

But First....
AGDC coverage is still in the works. Whatever I can wring from people by this weekend. It's getting posted this Monday no matter what (it's back on the schedule even). There may be updates after the fact, but if that's the case I'll notify you here of course.
Okay, that out of the way,…

AGDC coverage postponed
First off, if you were looking for AGDC coverage today (as per the schedule) then I'm afraid I have some bad news. It's been postponed for the moment. I have no idea when it will be ready to publish so I removed it from the calendar entirely. We're still having trouble gettin…

Howdy folks. Busy week so far, unlike last week where I was pretty much worthless while adjusting to my new work/sleep schedule. Still not on it 100% but at least it's manageable now. Oh man, where to begin?
