Listening to Rhyme Torrents Volume 7 while I write Perl.

Moving a futon from one room to another (for the second time). Note to self: Yes, you need to take it apart to move it.

Having my butt handed to me on a crystal skull in Spelunky. Great game. http://ping.fm/qR38d

Blowing up balloons for our company's farewell party/bbq.

Playing "How to Raise a Dragon". http://ping.fm/rMiTO

Whoa! Whoa! One does not simply purchase id Software. How can one purchase id Software? What? And a BioWare/Mythic merger? World upside-down

Learning the *stuffing* out of Slick and its conventions. July and August are looking to be great months.

Feeling the urge to rework http://n3wt0n.com Thinking of transitioning from Wordpress to Drupal.

Just printed off MakeUseOf's "The Productivity Guide: For A Computer Geek". I'm productive today! http://ping.fm/K29sL

Bobbing my head to RhymeTorrents Volume VII. Setting down for a couple hours of programming.

Chapter 8 of Fission Chips takes an interesting turn... Gare, the main character, doesn't know when to shut up http://ping.fm/2mkvj

Just got back from a Sunday afternoon with my Dad. Walked around a car show looking at classics, then had lunch at a pub. Happy Father's Day

Headphones, engage! >_< This just in, MCFrontalot fronts the most, 24/7. Me? I'm zoning out so I can refocus.

Tearing things back down to basics. Generic2DPlatformer gets a redesign, code-wise.

A can of Old Milwaukee in one hand, a bag of licorice in the other, a movie on the TV and my wife in my lap. What it is to be married.

Hrm... Will be so close to Nerdapalooza but my trip ends the day after Nerdapalooza begins.

My summer vacation is getting extended... indefinitely. Company lost contract, now lacking funds. Thank Canada for Employment Insurance.

I don't know how I missed this, but Intel has a Game Development contest under way. http://ping.fm/UiSu6

Done yet another project someone requested of me. Getting a feeling of what freelancing is about. Now if I were to actually charge someone..

Emptied out the staff fridge. Found items as ancient as August 2007. #ancientfood

It's saying something when in the winter you complain when a shower runs cold, but in the summer you complain when it's not cold enough.

Had a great day reading Penny Arcade and watching Star Trek TOS. Maybe tomorrow I'll get some programming done... yes... always tomorrow.

Me: "Hi. How are you?" Them: "Good, how are you" Me: "Great, thanks. How are you?" -- my bad habit :-p

Aha! I found the fix for LWJGL to work with Ubuntu 9.04. Development on Generic 2D Platformer commences.

Watching the main city bus-stop outside my window at work, three police cars roll up and cart some guy away.

I just "finished" Blueberry Garden. It took one "The End" before I had figured it out. Great game.

Showing support for Indie Developers (and artists alike). Just purchased "Blueberry Garden" off Steam. It looks awesome.

Hello, World. I've said this before, and I'll say it again. When I have children, I will read them these stories: http://books.1889.ca/

Looking forward to reading Chapter 7 of Fission Chips tomorrow. http://ping.fm/xoddI Heading to bed in the meantime.

I've just posted the alpha of "Auctioneer" for the MUD #medievia http://ping.fm/y7Ua8

Aha! Back on March 4th I responded to a post for some GitHub stickers! http://ping.fm/WQ2Bl

Just got a couple stickers in the mail (my wife phoned, I haven't seen them yet). I can't remember what they're about. "Delta Stickers"?

Enjoyed reading an article on teaching your children to argue. http://ping.fm/UfRud

Eating a can of beans in molasses. Oh, how I love beans. They are delightful. And the molasses feels good between my toes.

Help me get my name in print :D Read a great story while you're at it. http://1889.ca/9aw

Insured my motorcycle today. Just getting my legs back.

Eating bugs. I mean blueberry yogurt.

Heading out to watch my last unmarried sister get married.

Messing around with perl and SQLite. I've written an "Auction House" script to gather and parse in-game item and avatar activity.

Please consider making a $10 donation for a good cause. You're entered into a raffle, too. http://ping.fm/fbogg

Wow! What a weekend deal on Steam. $5 for the Penumbra series... if I bough it, though, I'd feel bad for not supporting the Linux release.

"I'm too sexy" by Right Said Fred just came on the radio. Does anyone else envision the scene from "Encino Man" every time they hear it?

Aaand the season of forest fires begins. Looking out my window I see clear blue skies... darkened by a uniform sheet of smoke.

About to get in on this Fission Chips thing. http://ping.fm/bsZfW Hello chapter one!

Chewing on Licorice AllSorts while writing SQLite queries.

It's beautiful how things just seem to fall into place at the end of some days. Done work, task accomplished. Time to head home.

Lifting weights of Perl... with my mind.

Two years after starting my profession I just started a stash of cola under my desk.

w00t w00t! I just finished a milestone with my current project. This calls for a PB&J & coffee.

Been listening to the Mass Effect album on loop all day. It's nice. Somehow it's keeping me focused on my work.

Farming a relatively low level zone in Medievia. Killing Quiet Monks & farming Holy Flasks. Feel bad for it, but it helps with a -1000 align

Checking out OpenGoo. It's like Google Documents, but Open Source and can be run on your own server.

Loading up the car and heading to Kelowna. Swimming pools and gamer geeks. Bad attempt at Beverly Hillbillies :-P

Breaking and fixing things in Generic2DPlatformer. Sleepy time now that it's stable.

Sweet! My regional library took my suggestion and are circulating some copies of BioWare/David Gaider's "Dragon Age: The Stolen Throne"

Putting away the Mozart and kicking it into gear this afternoon with some @mc_frontalot

Eating blueberry yogurt makes me think I'm chomping on bugs.

Whoops. Prey wouldn't run so I tried to install the latest ATI graphics drivers. Now I broke XOrg and can't even get to shell.

Just got my IR remote control working with XBMC in Ubuntu 9.04, now installing Prey (using the Linux installer from Icculus.org) w00t w00t!

Listening to a Mozart album. Co-Workers are calling it "Church music". Hmph! I'll show them when I gain focus. It's like Spinach for Popeye.

Backing up the contents of my laptop. It has been on the verge of death for years. Good ol' lappy.

Relaxing at home, reading an article on how to stay focused. I'm so bad at sticking to the task at hand.

Building graphs'n'stuff for the game Ikariam. Figuring out the cost/attack & cost/defend values for each unit.

Automatic driving got me home today. Was off in La-La-Land when I left work and suddenly I'm home.

Brushing up on even more Java. I'd shifted focus from Java to Perl in my last year of University (both great languages to know).

Just watched @garyvee 's 2008 Web2.0 Expo speech. Awesome, inspirational.

Heh. Just took the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. (INTJ-44/12/25/11). Career indicator: Computer Programming. Crazy.

Emailing my former Research Supervisor/Prof at University, thanking her for everything she'd done for me. #oneyearsincegrad

Donate to this worthy cause for a (possible) chance to win one of two computers. http://ping.fm/0NNMT

Can't get enough of the 99 Balloon Fights remix by Baddd Spellah (Sure I could if I tried). It would be nothing without @beefy #followfriday

Rocking the workday like Albert Einstein pwning a blackboard.

MCM's novel, "Fission Chips", launches today. http://ping.fm/TStsh Mysterious!

Responded to too many Nigerian scammers. Hard to keep track of them all now. Bright side, I won a car, and the Irish Lottery and got $1/2mil

w00t! I just performed my first Bridge to Rail (B2R) jump in QuakeLive. And to prove to myself it wasn't a fluke I did it a second time :D

Left the house for work this morning to find I'd left my car headlights on. Whoops. My wife, my hero. She drove me.

July 24 in Las Vegas for the Blink-182 tour sounds like an awesome time... last minute deals? Heh.

I'm not wearing any socks. They were just blown off. How did I miss the "Old Nerdy Bastard" album for so long? http://ping.fm/g3LIf

Up late, ripping apart Generic2DPlatformer and putting it together again all better, stronger, faster.

Drinking a strong coffee. 6 cups, 4 scoops. Less liquid, more kick. Mmm. #strongcoffee

#followfriday @1889ca (Author: TorrentBoy, Fission Chips, The Pig and the Box, +). @mc_frontalot @beefyness @mc_lars (Nerdcore FTW)

Putting my (almost Minor in) Philosophy to use regarding a new Creative Commons concept. http://ping.fm/LfnzO

I missed it in theatres, but July 21, 2009 I'm getting the BluRay Director's Cut of Watchmen. (186 minutes). Ah yeah!

Revelation: Any online trip planner (WestJet, Travelocity, etc) is cheaper Wed, Thurs, Friday regardless of when trip is.

Fire In The Sky: Crispy Duck #sixwordstory

Heading out to vote. #vote #britishcolumbia #elections #bc

Family tech support, Kyle speaking. I'm sorry, we no longer support Microsoft products. Only 5 more tries? Unacceptable. Try OpenOffice.org!

Daydreaming and listening to "The Darkness" makes a person write funny things...

Harboring a secret fantasy to rock out on stage wearing tight leather pants grinding a wicked axe while screaming falsetto. The crowd cheers

Playing with Phys2D, the 2D Game Physics engine for Java. What else would I be doing on a Sunday night?

Listening to tunes and reading Lawrence Lessig's "Free Culture".

Tip-Toe'ing around getting my collision detection working within Generic2DPlatformer. Playing with sound effects instead.

Received my Linux Format magazine in the mail. The joke is on me. It's the same one that was given away free via bittorrent.

Happy Birthday wishes from the internets to my Mother-in-Law. She won't get the message, but history says it's here on the internet forever.

Barbies FTW. Going to hunt for Kirk and Spock Barbie dolls this weekend. Original packaging 20 years later, anyone?

Experiencing a case of "I'm never going to use this in real life" like people say in school. Thing is, I'm at work.

Rawking out to "Dragon Ash" and looking forward to a nondescript evening at home. I'd have to say, those are the best kinds of evenings.

Suffering a case of "brain-dead" today. An awesome side-effect: 2+1/2 hours have passed like a fart in the wind.

Shifting gears at work. In the spirit of "body building", I wonder how my brain would look in a speedo at a "brain-building" competition?

Trying not to have my view of Orson Scott Card's novels skewed after reading that the guy is kind of a dick. http://ping.fm/7y2Z9
