Just watched Trick 'R Treat. Great movie. I'd watch it every year. Like "The Grinch" but for Hallowe'en.

It's "living room re-arrangement day" in our house, today. That translates to "make room for your stuff in your office day", too :-D

I shut off all distractions this morning and I got so much work done by 3pm. I wonder if it was a fluke... Yeah. A fluke.

Heading out to visit my Dad. Bringing the obligatory pizza (and maybe beer).

Oooooh. I really want Dragon Age: Origins. Just finished reading the novel tonight. Steam and D2D have the pre-order up starting today.

Caught in the stumbledupon trap! http://ping.fm/aaYRP Not productive!!!

Kicking butt and chewing bubble gum at work. And I'm all out of bubble gum... lame throwback to the 90s and Duke Nukem.

The deadline for Beer Bottle Rocket Man is getting closer. So is the finished product. Yeah.

The internet is awesome today. The DragonAge character creator is available: http://ping.fm/RLgYW

Happy Birthday, World of Goo! Fans: Name your price. http://ping.fm/yin7R

Installing WinXP within Ubuntu. Wait, is that not allowed?

Awake early (relatively) on this Canadian Thanksgiving day. Getting some work done because none has been done thus far this weekend.

The GameX http://gamexpo.us/ and GameX Industry Summit http://ping.fm/6SLdKsummit/ is coming up soon. What fun! I wish I could go...

Wow. The Left4Dead deal on Steam is uber-tempting. Almost expecting a $5 Left4Dead with pre-order of Left4Dead2 (closer to release date).

I just thought of something that felt important but now I forget what it was. I hate when that happens. Oh. There goes the recycling truck.

Up late last night with my mind that would not shut off. Effectively a zombie today. I LOVE ZOMBES!

Spending a nice afternoon playing Mario Kart and reading Digg between circuits.

Taking my wife out to dinner. Like a boss. Because it's her birfday!

Reading http://ping.fm/aBcPs

Just watched Bored to Death. It gets two of my opposable appendages in upright positions. Will watch it next week.

When you're on the high seas and your crew throws a fit to head for the shore, whatcha gonna do? http://ping.fm/SMJIK

Me wife got outta tha house 'afore'n I could talk Pirate to her. Blast me luck and grogginess.

Refactoring G2DP in a massive way. Stripped demo code from it. Now exists solely as a library. Learning from mistakes.

Just a reminder, tomorrow is Talk Like A Pirate Day. You still have time to catch up on Pirates Attack! http://ping.fm/4MEjc

Encouraging you, enthusiastically, to play "Time Fcuk". http://ping.fm/iBLH4

I'll be the first to admit, I haven't (yet) put much thought into the levels. http://ping.fm/qdB6C #alpha

w00t! Helicopter Ninja now has level transitions. Still have to create the end-game and menu plus a few more tweaks.

Talk Like a Pirate Day is coming! September 19, everyone. Why not check out "Pirates Attack!" http://ping.fm/8KYVX

I picked "Best. Concert. Ever." at #PAX. Finally getting around to watching it.

I've been playing Braid throughout the weekend. I'll just say: I enjoy it. I enjoy it for myself. Not because I'm supposed to. Great game.

Everyone's favorite Helicopter Ninja gets a minor update. http://ping.fm/6Kpj6 He's smaller and carries a sword.

Spent the last hour playing Braid. The parallax looks awesome, but I have a feeling that is done in 3D rather than layers.

I'm done writing my #PAX notes gathered from professional (and indie) game developers: http://ping.fm/lmj2s

Hauled my office chair downstairs to use the bigscreen PC. Writing out my notes from PAX in blog form.

Ooh! Braid is only $5 this weekend. Methinks I should make a purchase... in the name of Research. And stuff. Oh! And celebration. Of work.

WTF! I haven't received texts since Saturday and now I'm getting a flood of them... ALL OF THEM since Saturday #telusfail

I'm working. No-fooling honestly working. Gotta build up that stockpile of savings again.

Some Helicopter Ninja alpha linkage http://ping.fm/7Ohkj

The 7-day game I'm making is called "Helicopter Ninja". Details here: http://ping.fm/bjXgh

Nice! Looks like I'm in the "50% ad revenue" bracket on GameJolt. Here's to making a little bit of monies.

Started to work on my first "made-in-7-days" game. I'll try to post the results this weekend, though I started on Tuesday.

I'm activating the KOTOR code that BioWare was giving #PAX attendees. Free KOTOR, everyone. Check your swag bags.

Listening to "Underbeard" by The Grammar Club. By Sunday, I was rocking my own Underbeard at #PAX09

Back home now from #PAX and it was a helluva time. Just looking through the photos. Will post to Flickr soon.

About to go wait in line before getting into the line-up room. Doors open officially at 10am.

Met up with 5 other Canadians. First thing we talk about? The half-priced beer. Cheers all around.

Hanging at the Green Tortoise in Seattle. Meeting other Twitter Shitters. #PAX To my wife: Miss you. But still having fun :D

w00t w00t! 1 hour until I'm on the Greyhound to #PAX. The Seattle station is right next to the Grand Hyatt. Convenient badge pickup!

Drinking some sort of a Firetruck. Had Jager in it. Tasty. Tasty and effective. Shower and bedtime now. Bus leave in 9 hours.

Heading out on the #PAX journey, heading to Checkpoint A (Kelowna). Leaving from there tomorrow morning.

My (slightly silly) business cards are ready to pick up, in time for #PAX. http://ping.fm/kx4Lj

Back from Dentist. Taking care of your teeth through the year is like making tiny payments daily. You could just pay up once at the dentist!

On hold on the phone. They've got "The Cranberries" screaming in my ear :P

Reading the tail end of the series of articles by @tinysubversions -> Effective Networking in the Game Industry http://bit.ly/YzUIH

Hello, Sunday. You're pretty cool, like the day of the week that shows up late to the party and doesn't even care.

In mere days I'll be heading to Seattle for PAX. Loading up my PSP with all the Pure Pwnage eps for the bus ride.

Being a zombie in front of my computer. This time next week, I'll be singing along with @jonathancoulton (from the crowd)

Updated the G2DP blog. You can see how my game is coming together right here: http://g2dp.n3wt0n.com/

Done with my foreground-rendering problem. Time to teach the Shadow Queen who's boss. Then on to Metroid Prime Trilogy.

Approx. 3 weeks until Fission Chips wraps up. It's not too late for you: http://1889.ca/9aw

One of my gouramis got stuck in an ornamental castle. I got him out, but he's hurting something fierce :-S

The urge to get the Metroid Prime Trilogy Collectors Edition for the Wii is pretty intense. BDay present for the wife... right?

The Camera object is complete. Backdrop now plays nice with everyone. http://ping.fm/bnQYj

Quote should be: "Reggie, I write HTML. Do you know what HTML is?"
"Of course I know what HTML-"
"If it's proprietary, I'm doing it wrong."

That was a fun quote :) I'm reading "The App" here -> http://ping.fm/UDy4a

%u201CReggie, I write HTML. Do you know what HTML is?%u201D %u201COf course I know what HTML%u2014%u201D %u201CIf it%u2019s proprietary, I%u2019m doing it wrong.%u201D <-- "The App"

Still kicking it with Mario. It has been a long time since I sat down with a game as long as I have tonight.

Rawking Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door for Nintendo Gamecube. I got it years ago. About time I finish it.

Well, Generic 2D Platformer gets a few more bugs worked out. http://ping.fm/sI2wY Time for some zombie stories.

Hooray for Friday. AFAIK, I've got no plans for the weekend. I smell... horror movies? My wife holds the veto.

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.
