What's this? A home for something I've espoused about quite a bit? http://the-vector.com/ My thumbs go up. Up in more espousiness.

w000000t! I'm feeling good. Just finished one-heck-of-a-task. Might still have a bug or two to squash, but it's functional :)

#DesertBus is still going strong. Almost $47k raised. Proceeds go to Childrens Hospitals. Donate at http://desertbus.org/

Watching #LRR sing The Darkness' "I believe in a thing called love" for #DesertBus of Hope. http://desertbus.org/

I'm disappointed "Rainslick Precipice" hasn't been on sale in recent memory. Episode Two is already over a year old.

Done lunching. PC is set up and working properly with Ubuntu 9.10 and I've re-configured my Firefox. Next time I shouldn't have to do this.

Everything backed up, I'm removing my Ubuntu 9.04 and 8.10 partitions and installing 9.10 in their place.

When the chess game is over, the king and the pawn go in the same box. Dungeon was a fun experience. http://ping.fm/nWPc4

Finished the main quest of Torchlight in 12 hours as a level 41 Warrior. That was fun.

I just read a nice article about Indie Games and their potential future. http://ping.fm/fHYrY

The Overlord Complete Pack (1, 2, & Raising Hell) at 75% off ($8.75)? I'm there! Steam ftw.

Just watched "Orphan". It was predictable, but still a good movie.

Making a run for Tim Hortons. I need a caffeine and timbit fix.

Rocking even more Java SWT programming. This is a nice breather from web development.

Going crazy with Eclipse and SWT. When I click my app tray icon, it displays. Now if I can get it to display only on Double-Click...

Going on an "I own it" spree at Amazon.ca so they can stop recommending books I own and start recommending awesome books I don't.

Reading a great article at Lost Garden re: Testosterone in gameplay http://ping.fm/0VMiW

Resisting the urge to start a new project. Or to buy a new game. November is going to be a very busy month.

4 groups of kids so far, I'm handing out the cavities at record pace. "Take what you like" has been half the bowl so far.

I'm done! The game is done. Information here: http://ping.fm/3YC4a

Whoop whoop! I just won "dinner and a movie" on the radio. Hello, Rogers movie rental and Little Ceasars Pizza.

Getting a whole lot of grunt work out of the way. 170-something instances of closing a database connection on try-catch-finally exception.

What a lucky day! I just got an ABS Mechanical Keyboard in the mail. Thanks, @GameXpo and @gdevnet http://ping.fm/9ZZZV

Rocking the java game programming with Beer Bottle Rocket Man: http://ping.fm/gEZVU

More Pomplamoose goodness: http://ping.fm/76lbA (1st half music, 2nd half show info)

Watching "Night of the Living Dead". It's in the public domain, so you can download it, too. http://ping.fm/NT9y7

Just as I'm shopping around for a laptop, my old laptop (5 years) decided to repeatedly lose power while plugged into the wall.

I have a love affair with Steam. It's what I imagine shoe shopping is for women. Steam prints money $5 at a time (when I give it to them).

Let's give this "productive day" thing a go again. Distractions are put away. Let's write this login page.

Just spent half an hour reading section 43 of the Canada Criminal Code. Is spanking a child illegal? No: http://ping.fm/6rh9n

w00t w00t! I've just been informed I'm a lucky winner of a GameX GameDev.net prize. http://ping.fm/ifszK

Did some work today. Currently playing Neverwinter Nights. I never did finish that, back in the day. Half way through chapter 2 (of 4?).

Another article: Resources for the Cheap-Ass Game Developer. http://ping.fm/V8f33

New Article: VirtualBox Network with WinXP Guest in Ubuntu Host http://ping.fm/EiCKu Quite the puzzle when it doesn't work.

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
