Giving Dr. Awkward a listen. Considering drawing up another tileset while I'm waiting on laundry. Boring and loving it !.}

Sincerely working on the backdrop layer manager for G2DP. Maths is hard wurk.

This tweet started it all: http://ping.fm/UR6vq

Working on G2DP. Writing a "backdrop layer manager" for the illusion of depth.

Oh snap! What's playing at the drive-in? G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and Star Trek. All. Week. Long.

Spent the day with PHP and MySQL and Apache... Rewrote the Medievia Auctioneer. http://ping.fm/hg1pK

Grooving to "Brad Sucks", a musician from Ontario, Canada. http://ping.fm/F8iEm Free music for the poor.

Some last minute coding and writing before bed. Another small step for G2DP. http://ping.fm/boQNz

Spoke with my former employer. Still no work for those of use who were laid off. Continuing the job search (and game development).

Hating on the only job postings (Monster, Workopolis) being advertised by recruiting agents. Agents == my job search stigma

G'morning. Oh, shiny. Something of a short attention... Mmm, coffee.

Looks like stardom will have to wait. Was about to fill in an application for movie extras... but they're asking for a $25 registration.

Late night sleep-challenged fiddling: http://ping.fm/CY6x0 More work on G2DP (nifty tiles).

I just discovered "Develop", a print and eZine that appears to cover the game industry. http://ping.fm/WLvFq free

Putting some caffeine to use. Reading "Everything you always wanted to know about going indie (but were afraid to ask)" http://ping.fm/GJ4rL

Whoa! DSOrganize, ftw! How did this escape my attention?

Messing around with DSLinux. Getting the DS ready for PAX.

I am computering.

Today's accomplishment: http://n3wt0n.com/ <-- Putting to use the last month's creative images (Updated Theme).

K... so I haven't started on the packaging article yet. But here's how to set up Eclipse for use with Slick: http://ping.fm/AJZId

Writing up a quick How-To sign and package Slick and lwjgl for jnlp webstart.

Getting down and dirty with the #PAX schedule. http://ping.fm/xsXbo

Trying my hand at The Great Old One. http://ping.fm/Ps7QQ

Looking forward to the #Perseid #MeteorShower tonight and tomorrow night. Might even head up the ski hill after midnight.

Waaaaaah! Two hours worth of bug hunting, and it comes down to two lines of code, only 6 words, to fix the problem.

Clowns and zombies! My creative efforts today combine the two. http://ping.fm/1KJCG & http://ping.fm/mxrbo

Introduced sound and a "camera" to G2DP. Note, will ask to launch as webstart: http://ping.fm/I5Gst

No longer listening to wizard rock. Maybe I got a bad batch. Seems that @hipsterplease already found the best of the bunch.

Listening to wizard rock and programming on G2DP. Wizard rock, fyi, is Harry Potter inspired tunes. http://ping.fm/AbLha

Just fixed up my "Auctioneer" script for the MUD Medievia. Does anyone else play MUDs these days? I'm a level 91 multi-class Warrior.

Home from a nice night-time motorcycle ride. See, if I say "bike ride" then people think I'm peddling my butt around.

Currently sitting in the top 4 of the Future Shop hunt leaderboard. http://ping.fm/VJh8q

Club Penguin got back to me for the first time ever. Hopefully this is lucky number 3 (times I've applied over the years).

Finally got the WebStart working in Generic 2D Platformer. You, too, can control a stick man. http://ping.fm/efsrD

It looks like I'm all set for the Penny Arcade Expo. Greyhound: check. #PAX 3-Day pass: check. Green Tortoise hostel: check.

Applying for a job at Club Penguin that looks dang-near tailor made for me. Best part: it's only a 50 minute drive from home.

Fiddling with Generic 2D Platformer. Today I have goals (and I got my creative work done yesterday). w00t for Wordpress scheduling.

Sharing the free entertainment via a poorly worded article: http://ping.fm/R6xAr

Alrighty... here goes. In preparation for PAX, I'm turning on incoming SMS messaging for certain PAXers.

Can anyone confirm that with Telus, incoming text messages don't count against a monthly text message limit?

Getting flubby and doing something about it. Crazy how it just creeps up on you! w00t. 20 situps. K, I'm done 4evar.

Heading out to watch "The Proposal" with my wife. All the ladies I've talked to said the movie was good.

Oh! I forgot the link! http://ping.fm/Yv81R Torchwood x The Office!

Laughing out loud (yes, I literally LOL'd) at "The Chaos Book". It's like "The Office" meets "Torchwood".

A (very) short story inspired @doctorow's story I, Rowboat (among others) http://ping.fm/2CYGt

31 days exactly to pax http://ping.fm/iHu4n

Reading a series of articles on "Effective Networking in the Games Industry" http://ping.fm/3yjq2

Hooray for the BC Day long weekend tomorrow.

Preparing for tomorrow's "Creative Juices." Expect something like an angel, someone locked in a box, and something else.

Stirring up trouble... in my frying pan. The frying pan of *doom*.

Happy System Administrator Appreciation Day, everyone. In appreciation of the guys and gals who keep the internet running, I'ma drink beers.

The burgers are done, and now the night of horror begins. We have: Various Hellraisers, A Haunting in some place called Connecticut and more

Making myself an early dinner. Early first half: 3 hamburgers. Later second half: Licorice Allsorts (because no one can tell me otherwise)

w00t w00t! I just got the "Level Up 2009" Intel Swag Bag from @gdevnet It's full of swag!

Working on my daily Creative Juices. FYI, that's one image, one haiku, and one 50 word story. All original.

Listening to Optimus Rhyme. They sure know how to drop the funky beats.

http://n3wt0n.com/ sees a *long overdue* update. Small changes. Time to get a little less "me" and a little more "professional".

This 32°C weather is surprisingly bearable when you strip down to just your boxers. Looking forward to the lightning storms tonight.

I'm on today! A trio of robots: http://ping.fm/fg4jO & http://ping.fm/zcOXw & http://ping.fm/Oerrv

I need to take a lesson in selling myself. Phone pre-interview: 1, Kyle: 0

Elegent solution found. I've got a stick man walking without complications. http://ping.fm/S4lfh #g2dp

Just applied at two different companies re: PHP/SQL programmer. Crossing my fingers.

Puzzling out an elegant solution to a problem in Generic 2D Platformer. The physics library has my hero colliding with tiles on a flat floor

WHOA! Bear Hugger, from Punch Out is from the small town where I grew up, Salmon Arm, BC, Canada. http://ping.fm/PANnF

Keeping indoors, reading, playing games and listening to music. It's like I'm on autopilot since I'm the only one home.

Looks like we're going to have a repeat of last night's strange weather. Uzumaki over my house.

Hooowow. It's hot out. Taking the bike out to help cool down.

Chickening out. I'll just stink. Quite the storm going on outside (for the last 3 hours)

Going to brave the lightning because I need a shower. The clouds seem high enough anyway and the thunder is quite delayed #famouslastwords

Harvesting ADAM from Little Sisters. The time is about right for a second playthrough of BioShock. Evil this time.

Browsing through "Comic Con" photos on Flickr, wishing I could filter out all the Twilight cast.

Ash is starting to settle here in Vernon. Not the demon slaying ash, but the other kind.

Watching Ninjas rock *HARD* on guitars. http://ping.fm/q1ch3 Totally wicked. And awesome. And Ninja. All of those.

Heck, yes! Another season of Hell's Kitchen starts tonight. Oh, Gordon, you are dee-lite-ful http://ping.fm/wdDOT

Watching my 3 favorite Nerd-Artists on stage *at the same time* http://ping.fm/f2zAf @mc_frontalot @beefyness @mc_lars

Just freaked out my Chihuahua by walking out of a darkened room while wearing camo pants. He was focusing on the camo pants.

Watching Vernon become engulfed in smoke while the Kelowna forest fire burns. http://castanet.net/

Still looking for work. The ThinkGeek job (Perl-code-monkey) would be sweet, but I'm still just a Perl-Chimp.

w00t w00t! The last of my order, "The Undead and Philosophy: Chicken Soup for the Soulless" just arrived at my door.

Creative Juices, day 2, starts with an anniversary. http://ping.fm/yfBPV

Making slow but steady progress with Generic 2D Platformer. That's what I get for letting my java programming skills slip for two years.

w00t! Two books from my latest order have arrived. Clive Barkers "Mister B. Gone" and the collection of short stories "The Living Dead".

More juicy creativeness. Picture: http://ping.fm/GHxlT and Haiku: http://ping.fm/h6OMs
