So, last post (only a couple of days ago I know) was informing you all/myself that I was reenrolling at uni. Well, I have just completed Assignment 1 for STA2300 (Statistics/Data Analysis). Now, this assignment is due at the end of this week. THANKS A LOT USQ! To be fair though, this will be the se…

So if it wasn't already apparent that I am far too busy for my own good, I have gone and put myself right into it even more: I have enrolled back at university with a goal to finishing the degree I started 6 years ago.
If it weren't already enough that I work full time and am studying for my MCSE's…

I have been working pretty hard over the last couple of weeks on a Server that seems to have had a spike take down every component in it. The server still runs but I am unable to create RAID arrays in any way shape or form. I am still awaiting a replacement motherboard, but this has been far more t…

It has been one of those weeks where everytime you try to get something done, something stands in your way. I have found on my new 300GB HDD none other than Bad Sectors. Not so much of a problem as it is still under warranty, but considering that my Boot partition has gone off wandering a number of…

Game Demo
Have been working on the audio sequencing class. This should enable a fair amount of options with regards to dynamic music in game. I hate repetitive music in game, and this should allow for something a little less predictable, but still sounds great. I have had this idea since I played th…

Now why is it that when you want to be able to fade out one stream and fade in another, that SDL_mixer says "thanks for the new file" and cuts short the old to start up the new. I would have thought it possible to have ogg streams running on different channels, but as yet have been unable to actual…

Gotta love SDL_Mixer for ease of use and documentation.
Great place to start and Where to get the stuff
Wasn't too difficult to rebuild the sdl_mixer libraries, just a matter of adding the right include and lib directories for SDL, then for building the project remembering multi-threaded dll's settin…

Just had to post this after the previous few comments...
MP3 Licensing is teh suck
Long Live OGG
WinLAME - MP3->Ogg Conversion (thanks to Rob Loach)
Although mp3 licensing is not such a problem for games of less than 5000 copies, it is still some obvious problems when you start to reach close to tho…

Well, as I have been going along with documentation quite well, I have found that others have not. In trying to get mp3 support (purely from a testing standpoint) for one App I was working on I found that I completely despise sdl_sound and smpeg... no documentation whatsoever...
Now to see if I can …

So, I was getting on with development of the Game Demo, and doing quite nicely with it, until such time as work intervened.
So everything had gone wrong. I had to rip up half the driveway and repair some pipe-age. Then the pool needed some attention. So far in the 11 months we have owned our house w…

So I have started playing with SyncToy for synchronizing files across computers/folders (in particular to my USB key which gets utilized so much as a Ghost Boot Device that it is common for things to get totally screwed up). One little gripe I have with synctoy is that if you schedule it, I find th…

So, what exactly is with VBScript and its useless implementation? Why can't I have integers larger than 32Bit, or more to the point, why can't they be 64bit at LEAST?!
So, I know that some people are going to ask why I am using VBScript at all. VBScript happens to make a lot of sense simply for the …

Well, I had to get some pics up again, since the last one is pretty old. Here we have a collection of 9 pictures taken over the past 3 months. But before I flood the screen with pictures, I should get some actual Developer Notes off my chest first.
I have been running through writing the SRS (Softwa…

And for everybodies satisfaction a Darcy Rawr!

Darcy is our puppy, and he has just recovered from some fairly nasty infections. The Vets thought he was going to die (most of the 4 days he was with the Vets they said this). Anyway, he is now terrorizing the house and barking a…

So it has again been some time since my last Journal entry. Work goes on as does family life.
My wife and I have a dog now, Darcy, whose picture I now use as my avatar.
Work, like I said, goes on... Trying to find time to study for MCSE's and build a game demo up this year. Most of my coding for th…

So I am now sitting here at 11pm on a work night, trying a little to get a business working, and also trying to learn whatever I can about Windows Server 2003, and more importantly Group Policies and Active Directory.
