Figures. I get to the end of the day and what happens? My computer decides to finally keel over and die. This is before I have a chance to back up for the day mind you. Why the hell did I not edit all my files remotely? I feel like such a freaking idiot for continuing to work on files on a hard dis…

Well, looking at the radar map on weather.com it's supposedly snowing rather heavily in my area. But I don't care enough to get up off my ass to go check out the window. Snow what, I say.
So yea, my computer is on its way out. Well, the hard drive is at least. But that's pretty much…

K so I finished up my GI paper tonight, the project is now officially started. Like I said hopefully I can announce something in mid-December. So until then I'll stop talking about it.
Saw Aeon Flux tonight. It was an okay movie. Charlize Theron is hot as hell in all her outfits - I love the short h…

Anyways tonight I spent all my time working on the new GI thing I still can't talk about. I have a 3-page document written up on it so far. Yea it's gonna be big [smile]. Most of the time I just sat around thin…

While I can't really talk about it yet, starting tomorrow I will be in charge of a new venture by the Game Institute. While I've been involved with GI since they started back in early '01, this is my first paid position with them. Obviously it has to do with online learning, but …

Aye caramba, another marathon coding session. I've been at it since close to midnight, so I think I can safely log 5 hours tonight. I was hoping to get the Mini Conquest menu and the Game Settings menu working, but I've only managed to get the Mini Conquest menu done, though that was …

Introduction
Hoookay. So. I got the database done, that took me about 3 hours mainly because I'm so wiped out it was hard to concentrate and keep my thoughts in order. Especially when your editing a plain text file in Notepad :P Ugh. Another issue was remembering the various menu options and whatnot…

IGDA Meeting Stuff
So I attended my first IGDA chapter meeting in... ooohhhh six months?? Something like that. The chapter met this month up in Bloomfield College. This was a location we had met at previously last year (or maybe the year before?) before we started hopping around a bit, mainly stayin…

Well, I finally got around to cleaning up the Blade Edge server space and replacing the website with a message letting everyone know what the current status of Blade Edge is. We're not dead, just.... hibernating. Yea [smile] I'm putting all my focus behind getting my stunt career rolling. I just fi…

Well, finally got to peice together my myriad clips of craziness into a cohesive video showcasing... myself. Yes, a bit egotistical there but that's the purpose of these things you know. I have to sell myself to stunt casters in order to get jobs. This reel took me three days to compile, mostly wor…

I figured it was time to put up a quick blurb to let everyone know I was still around. I haven't done much game development lately and so I haven't been posting much. I know it doesn't have to be just a game development journal, but I do know that there are a lot of ppl here with good development c…

Here's a short video of me doing some high falls, wire work and rapelling. The wire rig was constructed as part of a stunt I was doing with a friend for Fright Fest - we had a full-body harness hidden under a sweatshirt and a rope noose attached to the wire so it looked like we were being hung as w…

Finally! The east coast has been hit with rain (finally) for the past few days and the park was closed Sat and fire shows were canceled on Fri. Last night I finally got a chance to do some fire breathing and boy oh boy! It was cool as hell! They started me off spitting out water to practice getting…

So Fright Fest has opened at Six Flags Great Adventure this weekend. I'm supposed to be flying on a wire rig over at the Haunted Hollow, but something happened Thursday after I left the park to coach. It seems the test weights had fallen off the rig while they were ascending, yet both the loops on …

My hard drive got screwed up somehow, and I don't know how. No viruses or serious spyware/adware popped up on my last weekly check this past Sunday. The comp was on for 3 days but that's nothing unusual, although I did have eMule running constantly throughout to download stuff. Maybe the strain on …

Last week, the gym was a madhouse, and I had neglected to bring my camera. This week I did, and of course nothing crazy went on last night. Of course.
Still, I took some videos of me playing some more Add A Trick, and I had my buddy Sash do that tramp trick with me again so I could capture that. So …

So I finally spent some time this weekend installing Konfabulator and browsing the entire widgets gallery in search of ones useful to me. Here's what I ended up with:

I'm going to be kicking myself for a long time. I recall thinking about bringing my camera with me to the gym when I left tonight and deciding not to bother. But it turns out that tonight was one of those nights when shit goes all to hell.
For starters, a bunch of people from the Batshow and other …

So my girl and I drove into town to get some lunch - she wanted some Japanese but the place was closed - we forgot it was a Sunday. It's open for dinner though so we may go back in a little bit. Anyways it was next door to this bus terminal and I noticed a bunch of lights and stuff set up and at fi…

So I'm up in Vermont right now visiting my girlfriend at her college. It takes an entire tank of gas for me to get up here (and for her to get home), so when I was in the area of her college I pulled up to the pump to fill up for... $2.99??? For 89 octane?!? Holy crap!
Now let's pause from my story …

Got up early to go to the DMV today, but my dad got hung up at work and I had a class to teach at 1pm so that didn't happen. Dammit. I need to change the title on my car over to my dad so that I can go under his insurance and not have to sell my soul in order to cover the cost of full coverage on m…

I had a revelation last night, while catching up on the latest T2D developments. Version 1.1 is supposed to support turn-based networking, not real-time networking (not officially anyways). So why the hell am I working on a game that requires real-time networking when I have another game designed a…

Pretty long and fun weekend. Friday was a pretty easy day, cept for having to wake up at 7 in the morning (thx sweetie!) and then finding out I didn't have to be at Six Flags until 10, so I napped for another hour and then went in. It took the guys from Garden State Fireworks longer than they thoug…

Alarm clocks suck, girlfriends rock. See, she can actually get herself out of bed, and so now she calls me to get me up in the mornings when I have to get up early enough to get crap done before work. How effective is it? Lets just say that I set my alarm for 10am and she called me around 10:30 and…

So it's been a while. Fancy that. Bet you all missed me. No takers? Ok nevermind [wink]

So I saw War of the Worlds tonight. It was pretty good. Those tripods were crazy insane and were all I had hoped for. It kinda sucked a bit when my friends started poking holes in the damn movie - I hate that crap. I finally got them to shut up, although they did make a good point in that if the EM…

Finally scored some shots of me in the show - one of the Jokers took a bunch of snapshots last week on his day off, and I took snapshots of the snapshots with my camera. Yea. Anyways here they are.
I'm about to punch Robin, but he lifts his feet up and kicks me in the chest instead.
I'm coming in to …

Some punk from Six Flags snitched me out today about my Batman video I posted a few months ago. It wasn't a bad fallout, my boss just called me and asked me to take the video down since there were some legal issues involved, mainly one scene where an actor gave his line from the Batmobile (no audio…
