I have the heart of a philosopher.

Man o' man!
You haven't lived until you've come close to death. About two hours ago I came near to a comatose state here at home. I can hear the bells, uh, uh ... nope, sorry.
For those of you that don't know I have a very unique disease called Emery Drifuss Muscular Dystrophy. It alone is a very pow…

A weird turn of events happened this week. For thanksgiving my parents came up to Ottawa for dinner. Only this time around I cooked the turkey, and good I might add. I can cook anything as long as I have instructions.

This past month I've in some cases let myself go, as if all my original plans went to hell in a hand basket. Before I came back here to University I wanted to start working out, getting my body in to shape and not letting it fall in to the pits. But everyone in this house insist on buying nothing b…

I'm pretty damn tired right now, and I've slept through one of my classes. Last night was a blast, I went to see Bad Religion and Dropkick Murphy's in concert. It was a fucking amazing show, a whole crap load of great songs were played.
The downer of the night was that I wasn't shitfaced drunk. But…

Well, I'm still having those god damn ACPI.sys errors. The ones that make your CPU speed drop to 10% and lag your whole god damn computer. Well, I phoned microsoft today because I haven't been able to figure this out, neither can anyone else. It fucking pisses me off. So apparently being a good guy…

Well, I recently got settled in to this place and I'm already not doing much programming. I recently got addicted to Diablo II after I bought the expansion with the pack. I've been playing network Unreal 2k4, Diablo II, and it looks like Counter-Strike soon. To be real honest, I think I've lost int…

Well, this is the first week in the new place and it's quite nice. There is one small room in the 5 room house and at first it seemed as if it were going to be chosen when everyone arrived, but that slowly changed to first come first serve. I was the second here so I got one of the big rooms, which…

I finally got my optical prescription filled, and according to the guy who made the lens I have a very mild stigmatism. So I got the glasses back yesterday, and to be honest I don't ever remember seeing things this clearly. Tree's before looked like a shape with multiple colours, but with the glass…

Recently I've been a bit more tired then usual, with my computer back I should be loading back up visual studio but I haven't. I should be working on my application, but I'm not. I just don't feel like working on it. I don't even feel like posting this message.
It's either that I've just become more…

Well, there has been a slight issue that this ACPI.sys stuff is far from over on my machine. What I'm actually thinking of doing, because I believe these problems are related to drivers and or IRQ conflictions is steer away from on-board devices. Right now I use both on-board network and audio. I d…

Well, I finally got my machine back. I bought this machine I'd say around 2 months ago, used it for a month and a week before it broke on me. Brought it in and it has taken 2 1\2 weeks to get it fixed.
I take a look at this thing and notice that the data on my hard drive right now is toast, so I ref…

I finally got back my machine, boy does that suck.
I took it to the repair shop and after 2 to 3 weeks they figured out the problem was the memory and board. Wow, this is the first time in my life where a part has just failed before it was even used.
Good by old A8N32-SLI deluxe

Over the past few years I've tried to develop a way of speaking, or expressing myself in reasonable matter. One of these things is the how to type perfectly logical sentences. I remember back in High School I used to bastardize the English language with internet lingo and a variety of misspelled wo…

I've been working with Flatland recently for Hollow Halls physics code. I've put more hours in to design then I personally think I should have. Although, creating this is another step towards a drawing unit perfect for drawing sprites.
The physics code uses a combination of Flatland and Open Dynamic…

Only 24 hours left. I found myself bloated beyond belief, because of this it was harder to walk then usual. Before I went to university I was idling around 160 after losing 25lbs from exercise and wise eating choices. When I got to campus I was forced to eat the food that I paid for at the cafe. Th…

I have a coffee in my hand; this should dictate what type of state I'm in. To be honest I have a lot of rant about, but I'm just too tired to do it. So I'll tell you about what I was doing last night.
I posted that example of my "TinyXML Handle Addition", what I did last night was expand that handle…

You know, up until around 2 months ago I was using small libraries to do specific things. Like to create a sound model I used DirectSound, and Vorbis OGG. Now I see how much of a waste of time that was, why bother trying to reinvent the wheel when everyone gives you free better ones. I've created a…

Honest to god I am sick and tired of reading the news, I'm sick an tired of listening to the news and watching it. Most of all I'm sick and tired having to try and convince others that of peoples absolute stupidity. War is a great example, another Canadian soldier was killed today. In a country of …

This is something that I've always hated with some buyers, actually a lot of American sellers. Back when I was on eBay buying from Europe, Japan, China I didn't have problems with people not allowing international orders. But something that has always pissed me off was that some Americans only allo…

I just shaved my head. [smile]
My head has been itchy for a while, and while I was sitting up at to cottage I decided just to take it off. So I did, after having this for 11 months and trying multiple products, from 6 doctors my hair just seemed like something preventing the itch from going away.

I'm at the stage in my program where I'm developing the underlying game play of the game. How everything is going to interact with the end user, and one thing I don't want to do is apply a generic model on the game, because from my experiences this leads into massive and unpolished code as well as …

I hate this machine, I really do. I can't get myself to throw it out the window, but I may if it pisses me off enough.

I'm now going to be updating you guys on my 4 elements entry, I'll also be posting screenshots at the top as they come. As you can see I'm doing this pretty much myself. The story, questions and character designs are going to be handled by Crystal, she's good at that stuff. I've been thinking about…

I've recently decided to use FMOD as the primary sound library, with an overwhelming fan base and support it seems like the only logical choice. For the new game I'm going to be creating a system to get story data from XML files, which wouldn't be secure seeing as they're going to be stored in PAK …

I've come to the conclusion that everyone here just doesn't see humour in the obscure. I don't have any problem making people laugh normally.
Anyhow, I'm going to be participating in the 4 Elements contest this year. I've never done one of these before so it should prove to be interesting. What migh…

It seems my relationship with Direct Audio has worn thin, our relationship just isn't going anywhere. When I commute to different countries, you are incompatible with them. You give me runtime errors, I try to ignore them but they hurt my feelings.
Direct Audio, I'm cheating on you. I can't help it,…

What's your poison?
I've always enjoyed smoking a cigar when coding. Either a colt or captin black.

I'm just about to head off to a meeting, and I doubt this coffee will be able to keep me awake through it. Tossing and turning all night isn't a good thing.
Now, when I went for my usual walk with my father last night we started getting talking about my younger brother. For his whole life he's been …

Well, I've been trying to keep most of my code portable such that I can compile on VS 7 and DevCPP. However sometimes I come across packages like FreeImage that the only dev pack I can get is really outdated. Now compiling the source in Visual Studio is easy so the windows library works, however I …
