God I hate John and Kate plus 8. The Mrs. loves it. Life is unfair.

Go and download the awesome.

The swine flu was created by your government to control the population. Please do not be distracted by my shiny tinfoil hat.

Please don't put this in the "Weekend Reading: Tales from Journal Land", it's filled with questionable language like "the" and "busy"
Indeed it is.
I have been at the same company since March 1/2004. And since that time I have never been as busy as I've been in the last month + 0.5. I've …

So I've updated Gorgon. You can read about it and any changes I've made here.
A quick question to anyone who's using Google code
First the back story:
I never really questioned it until tonight. But when I went to remove my old version of Gorgon, it told me I couldn't delete it because it had been d…

ATTN Drew Sikora: You don't need to mention this entry in the weekly reading section, there's nothing of real substance here - kthxbye.
So I'm jumping ship and am moving my "journal" (i.e. blog) to my own site. Eventually this journal will disappear since I've cancelled my membership. But until t…

Version 1.1.0.0 (Ionian) is now live. This is a final release version and that means v1.1.x is now out of beta. The list of changes are located here.
Note that since the beta, I've yet again changed installers. I know some people don't like installers (and I don't either sometimes), but it's real…

So, after several failed attempts over the years, I'm actually able to use Blender. I can't count the number of times I've tried to learn this program. I think it has to be one of the most user unfriendly unintuitive programs I've ever used. The developers seriously need do some time in UI priso…

I've uploaded update #2 for the v1.1.x BETA of Gorgon. Go here and get it if you're interested.

I've put up an update for the Gorgon BETA. It fixes a few small things I found this evening. So you can grab the update from here.
One of these was actually kind of simple to find, and given how little feedback I've received on the library, it's either extremely stable (very unlikely) or no one is…

So I released a beta of v1.1.x (Ionian) of Gorgon today.
You can get it here.
It's got an extensive list of changes, and those are noted in the changelog.html file. The big thing is that I've dropped the awful LGPL license and switched over to the MIT license. It just seems like a more permissive l…

Why is it that these so called "professionals" all act like children when their favorite toy is being called into question? The only person on that thread who's even making the least bit of sense is stimarco.

Just got back from the concert. It was awesome. Satriani was in fine form. My friend spent most of his time staring in some sort of trace-like-amazement. Especially since we were right up against the stage (I managed to get us front row seats) and it was his first time seeing Satriani play (eve…

Since Moe constantly complains that I don't update this journal enough:
Today I started working on the next update to Gorgon again (I had to take a break from it). The library is actually pretty complete, it's just the additional examples that need doing. With that said I've uploaded a couple of n…

Ravuya deserves cold hard cash money for this link (which I found on his twitter web gadget thingy):

So while my journal is still active (I've cancelled my gamedev subscription, please don't ask why). I thought I'd post this to you optimization experts. Namely those of you doing .NET optimization (if anyone actually does that?):

So I'm finally going back to my home for the first time in 5 years. I don't expect to be sober until I get back to Calgary on the 10th. Watch my plants for me while I'm gone.
Oh, I've created another piece of shit song to make your ears bleed.

Yay! I get to see Joe Satriani play in October. Your dark master is pleased.

For some odd reason, for the last year, I have felt compelled to visit Paris.
Why though? I have a French vocabulary of about 4 words. And my knowledge of the language never extended beyond Grade 9 French with Mr. Pender, and what little I abosorbed from that class has long since been overwritte…

So as a few people here knew, Wednesday was my birthday. I turned 33. I'm fucking old.
But the birthday is not the point. No, birthdays are about caek. And while it's not floorcaek, my cake was TEH AWESOME. My fiance, Lacey, made me a wicked little R2-D2 cake (I'm a starwars nerd btw). Behold …

So today I took a little tumble off of the stairs at work (I wasn't very high up, only like 3rd step, so I managed to avoid suicide) just because I wanted to see what it felt like. It turns out the experts were correct. It hurt. And now I'm hobbling around on one leg while the other repairs itse…

Another "vs." Linux thread in the Lounge. Oh joy. Yes, I know the OP is trying to make it look like it's not going to be a hate-fest by labelling it differently, but that's like saying a green apple is not an apple because apples are red.
And now there's a XNA vs. the universe (which is quickly tu…

I just bought the new Joe Satriani album Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock. Aside from having a very odd name, the album is pretty standard rock guitar with a bit of shreddy goodness. It's quite good, but it took a bit to grow on me.

So I just got back from the Iron Maiden concert. It was fucking awesome. All stuff from the 80's and Eddie. I'm surprised at Bruce Dickenson's voice, it's incredible even after all these years.

So yeah here's a cut of the previously mentioned song. I'm a little happier with it since I redid my track, but I think it still sounds like shit (it = my stuff, the rhythm and secondary solo are my friends work and it's fantastic).
It's only a preliminary recording, and there's work left to be don…

If only I could master the technique.
Tonight I got a nice surprise from an old friend of mine in Toronto whom I used to go out and get extremely drunk with every odd Friday. He sent me a small clip of a track he recorded and it had positively the most awesome rhythm (which he wrote). And at my …

This is ridiculous. Can someone please close that thing before it gets out of hand? We all know it's not going to end with everyone agreeing to disagree.

So this week I decided I had enough with Sourceforge and their "service". Getting less than 3K/second at best and more commonly 0-0.5K/s at worst during a SVN upload is less than ideal. So I dumped their bloated open source hippie loving asses and embraced another less bloated but equally hippie …
