Wow, computers!
Well, I got the game job :). The interview went pretty smoothly (3 hour thingajib), and I just got an e-mail today asking me to come in tomorrow for a lunch with the other programmers and to sort out the contract ^_^.

I just realized I never said in my other post what company it is. It's MicroForte,…

Happenings and Jobs
I just finished my last computer science assignment. Ever. :O Once the exams are over, I just have to finish some maths to complete my degree -_-.

In other news, I have got a gamedev job interview lined up for next Friday :D. I went in yesterday to do a pre-interview C++ test that went pretty smooth…

what you say?
This might be "welcome to X units of time ago" material, but I just discovered Paint.NET. :D This is a fantastic, very usable, free little paint program with heaps of features. It's great for tweaking and converting files for webdev and even gamdev with the help of this DDS plugin. Another indispen…

Musics!
I rediscovered these recordings of myself I made a little while ago (ie. while procrastinating ^_^):

A Fig For a Kiss
The Hills of Lorne (a duet with myself)

It's on an Irish tin whistle type thingy, grabbing some music off this site.

Anyway, I'm supposed to be making a motion compensation video compre…

Doing stuff
I actually managed to get stuff done today! Yay for only semi-procrastinating!

i. I managed to bullshit my way through another abstract algebra assignment question (it's probably wrong, but hey at least I got something on paper). I think I'm going to be fucked in the exam :(.

ii. I put in the network…

Wow computers
I got MGE onto the GameDev.net IOTD recently, which was fun. Being on the front page generated a LOT of hits (> 1000 according to statcounter.com), and I've noticed people from places like Midway and Ubisoft checking it out, so i think the site is fulfilling its purpose ^_^.

I even got an e-mail…

Something useful
Here's a little program I made a few weeks ago to address the the fact that SOME GAMES DO NOT SUPPORT MULTIPLE MONITORS PROPERLLY >_<. As you can imagine, with my setup it very much sucks when you try to play C&C Generals and the mouse goes off the side of the game window when you try to …

HGGggggnggnn
Well, been a while since my last update :/. I've been overworked doing uni and a webdev job.

I hate webdev. I've been writing a CMS system, and had to integrate it into several website (some havn't gone live yet):

Art Of Simon Cowell
I thought I'd mention that my brother just posted a new painting of his on Deviant Art here: http://www.deviantart.com/view/32299629/. It got featured on the daily deviation.

I like it and decided to show off the artistic skillz that I have access to for my own apps ^_____^ (he's also pretty handy w…

Introducing the WhiteBoardDesk(tm)
Well, the Easter weekend is finished, all the relatives have gone home and life has somewhat returned to normal (as in, back into the grind of work).

Anyway, I've had a whiteboard for a while now, and I've found it indispensible for working out programming problems, scribbling diagrams, reminders, a…

Sacked from the coolness
Well, I was just poking around on the unit website for the maths subject I am doing this semester (AMTH247 - Scientific Computing), because I was wondering why we still havn't got even the first assignment marks back.

I went into the forum and found a nice pleasant message:

Journals et. al.
Hello to journal land!

I really havn't got a clue what I should put here as my first post. However, ravuya has instructed me to list some projects with thumbnails. Thor told me to put in a bunch of animated gifs.

So here goes.

My Big Project(tm) at the moment is Mango Game Engine (MGE). I feel I need…
