The creativity begins. Fries With That: http://ping.fm/H4h4s

Waiting on the "Intel Swag Bag" from GameDev.net to arrive. In the meantime, development of G2DP continues.

Home, Sweet Home. Showering and getting to sleep.

Happy Free Slurpee Day, everyone!

Trying to come up with an original premise for why a hero should enter a series of worlds to kill off a big bad guy.

Back home from Medieval Times. Great show. Definitely recommended.

Heading out to Medieval Times for dinner and a show.

Tonight's activity: 3 Royal Seats at Medieval Times restaurant. This is going to be awesome!

"It's a dry heat" is not what you'd expect to hear in Georgia. Especially from a GA native. It's wet here. Humid.

Back on solid ground after 40 minutes flying in a 4-seater Cherokee Warrior 151 with my Dad.

w00t! I just ordered these books -> Undead and Philosophy: Chicken Soup for the Soulless. The Living Dead. Mister B Gone: A Novel.

Back from Six Flags. Relaxing tonight and tomorrow. Had a fun time today.

Heading to Six Flags for a few hours of Roller-Coaster'y fun.

A new, @1889ca approved TorrentBoy story is available! "Pirates Attack!" today! http://ping.fm/F2W4D

Played two rounds of Pink Godzilla Dev Kit. Three hours later my Brother wins one and I pwn him in the other.

Finished a two-hour round of 3 player Killer Bunnies. Played with the Blue, Yellow, Violet and Red decks. My brother won. Now for PGDevKit.

Heading out for our anniversary dinner. I hear most people only get one first wedding anniversary.

One full year of marriage? Check.

Heading out to my old high-school for 4th of July fireworks.

"The Chaos Book" sounds interesting. A collection of stories about an efficiency expert for the supernatural. http://ping.fm/yQo6m

Just got home from Turner Field. Didn't stick around to watch the Braves game, but it was cool being shown around by ex-Braves Brian Jordan.

Trying not to get too far behind on my RSS feeds. Only 42 new articles left to sift through.

Soaking in a caffeine bath. (Not really). Been awake since 7:30am, June 30. Survived 12.5 hours over three flights and layovers. Mmm, coffee

Leaving on a jet plane.

Sitting through my last day of work. I wonder, am I expected to focus? I've heard stories of people indulging on beer on their last day...

I've got 28 candy bars sitting on my dinner table... I'ma eat some.

One of these days I should reply to a "You're the winner of Lottery". I could have helped my whole family tree retire by now.

Another minor milestone met for Generic 2D Platformer. Heading to bed where I'll no-doubt be dreaming of stick-men and red dots.

Preparing for my trip. Spending almost two weeks with family in Georgia. Best way to start July :)

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
