April 2006 Archives

First, new pictures are coming soon, i promise! I wanted to point out this announcement by Darron Schall about a Commodore 64 emmulator being written in Flash!! The track wiki is still protected at this point, but it should be opened up soon. I thought the VNC thing in flash was cool, but this is a whole order of magnatude of greater geek coolness.

So, its finally happend. Croquet has released its 1.0 beta. This is pretty cool news, i’m going to download and try it out.

Motorcycle running! Step Two - clean bike. Step Three - get bike tuned up.

Our ‘net connection was down for about a day and a half. Its things like this that really bring home the depth of my addiction to both computers and connectivity. I was a stressed out mess all day yesterday, checking every 15 minutes to see if the connection we back up or not. In addition to losing a day or more worth of work, i just got so frazzled, i couldn’t really do anything else. But admitting you have a problem is the first step, right?

Ok, i’m sure i owe somebody some money. Apple is officially endorsing and supporting dual booting on their new Intel hardware. I really thought i’d never see the day. In retrospect, i can see that its better for them to support it then try to clamp down on all the hackers that have it enabled already. Still. Shocked i am.

Here we are in april.

I’ve got my first confirmed gray hair! I’m pretty stoked about that.

My contract with TVO is finished, so i’m back to the freelancer life for a bit. I’ve got some old work for clem that i can now finish up. Lots of stuff around the house to take care of too, so i’m sure i’ll be busy - no slacking for me!

That is all for now. Possibly some pictures this week.
