It's been *how* long??
Sunday, October 10th

So we (the cast) were sitting in the trailer today between shows, and I recalled how Josh (the Joker) had mentioned last week that we had been on the show for 6 months. Six months!! That's half a year! It's so strange to look back to May 7th, when we started rehearsals. I barely…

So Tired...
Saturday, October 9th

Whoo, what a day. Well, I didn't get to sleep as early as I wanted to, so I ended up only getting like 3 hours before I had to wake up and ride down to go paintballing. I had to cash my Six Flags paycheck first - that was my spendin' cash for the day. So I get down to Top Gun -…

Shark Tales Rules!
Friday, October 8th

Ahhh... another wholesome day.

I coached and did two shows today. Nothing spectacular. We still have like 50-75 people per show, in a stadium that can seat like 1300. It's really pathetic. I'm so disheartened to doing a show for that few people, but I find that once I get out ther…

Stupid Microsoft
Thursday, October 7th

So I finally took out my kite for the first time in like 5 months. There wasn't much wind, prob only about 3-5mph, so I had to work a bit at keeping the kite up, but that's always good exercise. It was an onshore wind though, which kinda stinks cause the kite looks much cooler …

Bug Be Gone
Wednesday, October 6th

So I fixed that bug I was bitching about on Monday. Turns out I was on the wrong track. I thought some wires were getting crossed when I copied a button object. Turns out that the buttons were just unsubscribing themselves from receiving MOUSE_BUTTON_MSGs from the kernel after…

It's Too F**kin Cold!!
Tuesday, October 5th

Good lord! www.weather.com lists the current temperature in my area as 37 degrees farenheight! Ack! Now imagine that while riding on a motorcycle with no leather jacket. Just a shirt, sweatshirt, and windbreaker. Ouch. It was bearable, but only barely so. Just barely. Luckily I …

Bugs Suck
Monday, October 4th

Weh. I started working on my wonderful log reporter when disaster struck in the form of a bug in my button object. Seems something funky is going on when I copy button objects. It lets me click a button once but after that the button refuses to display its "down" state, even thou…

Hayride Stunts + Even More Logging Goodness
Sunday, October 3rd

So we've been doing meet-and-greets all weekend (except Friday) because on of our main Robin's is injured, the second main Robin is hand balancing over in Korea, and our back-up Robin is doing stunt training out in California. Funny huh? This is the first time all season that we …

More Logging Goodness
Saturday, Oct 2nd <- Just so we're on the same page here!

So ok, I mocked up the Messaging displays. I came up with 4 views:

Total Sent



This is a vertical bar graph that shows the total number of messages sent by each object throughout the entire run time. The graph scrolls horizontally. I'm still …

Ehhhhh....
It was an OK day, tho kinda on the sucky side. We had a paltry audience of only like 50 people for both shows today. That was a drag. Then my wisodom tooth began acting up again and now I have a pounding headache. Gonna pop some more Tylenol before bed.

I guess the only highlight would be seeing Lad…

Logging goodness
So I read this article in a recent issue of Game Developer Magazine about this cool logging and reporting system that was developed for Ghost Recon. And I looked at my current logging system and broke down into sobs at the mediocrity of it all. It doesn't even make use of my cool new messaging syst…

New monitor! YEYEYEY!
So the FedEx dude woke me up this morning... errr.. afternoon at 12:45 with my new Samsung 172X 17" LCD monitor. Whooohoo! Of course then I had to suffer through seperation anxiety since I had to work at the gym for an hour. But then I got to come home and set it up and play with it for a while bef…

Day off
Ahhh... since I managed to get my game build done on Monday, I was able to take today off to do whatever the hell I wanted, so long as it didn't involve programming. Okay, I admit I did open VC++ to start reworking my log system, but it was only a momentary weakness, and I didn't actually write any…

Ain't that a bitch...
Yea, I've been whining about my cracked laptop screen for a few days now, but none of you have actually seen it, so I took a picture with my sister's camera (I need my own).



How's that for absolute suck? I got the shipping notice for my new Samsung today tho. I should have it by Thursday. YEY!

This journal entry is hereby decalared to be entered on 9/27/04. I mean, if I were to convert EST to DST (Drew Standard Time), …

Wiped out...
I slept in for an extra two hours and got to work at Great Adventure an hour late. I needed it. We hung out at our boss's place last nite, so I got home at like 2am and didn't go to bed until like 5am. Man was I sore today from running around playing paintball on Sat. The other cast members who had…

Paintball!!
Today (9/25 - lest there be any confusion since I'm posting in the AM) a fellow cast member from the Batman show was having his bachelor party, and before all the guys went out to hit the strip clubs in Philly, they decided to play paintball at a local arena which happened to be conveniently 5 minu…

Where I Am and Where I'm Going
My first journal entry here at GDNet. Cool. I think I'll take the time to explain what's been going on in my life this summer, in broad terms. I can't tell if anyone even noticed, besides those at GDNet I talk to a lot, that I've become a lot less active over these past few months. But for any that…
