Addendum to Up a Level
I think I'm going to start a series of programming books called "What the fuck does this mean?"I will be a co-author. I will sit in a room with an expert programmer. I will hand them a basic tutorial question and they will write out a small response. Then they will hand it back to me. Then I... Read more...

Up a Level
I think I've figured out that my difficulty with programming isn't the programming language itself, it's the specific syntax used to describe the language.Every language builds up its own specialized syntax. Even when there are common terms the implementation of those terms can vary wildly.I'm... Read more...

Request
Can any of my older/more learned readers recall the names of any of those classic programming magazines? The kind of thing that would feature little snippets of BASIC code and simple algorithms. I'm still toying with roguelike stuff and it's tough to get a grasp on things. There are a few... Read more...

Avoiding Homework
I've got homework to avoid, so I'm going to suggest some answers to a question posed by Unfettered Blather and backed up over at Man Bytes Blog. The question at hand is: "Now, please explain to me why future weapons will have less options than weapons available today?"With pleasure. 1.... Read more...

The Ground Went Sour
This falls under the category of Ancient Pointless Trivia. The movie "Pet Semetary" isn't horrible for a Stephen King adaptation. In other words, it's not a good movie but it's not the worst, either. But the setup is terrible. This guy moves into a house in the country. There is a road nearby.... Read more...

The Perils of the Digital Age
One of the big drawbacks of companies merging is that suddenly you have one less way to recover your account should something go wrong.Last year my Yahoo account suddenly rejected my password, the password I've had for years. The auto-sign in would show me mail going to my account but it... Read more...

What?
I just saw a commercial for Lost Odyssey with "White Rabbit" playing throughout.It's fucking horrifying and probably the weirdest attempt to create an association between two completely different media creations I've ever witnessed. Read more...

Ron Pall
Is it a requirement that the field of Presidential candidates must always include a third-tier wacko?I speak, of course, about Ron Paul, he who has galvanized a motley procession of internet glibertarians, gold-standard tin-foil-hatters, colloidal silverfish and neo-paleoconservatives.---There is...

Surfing With the Alien
Audiosurf just may be the best rhythm game ever created. Go to the site and sign up for the beta. Trust me. As a game it has a mix of both timing and puzzle challenges, your speed is determined by the music tempo, you collect colored blocks that fill gauges and you try to grab three blocks of...

Dead Waning
I'm glad I waited at least a year before purchasing the 360. It has a respectable catalog and the early titles are already released as Greatest Hits, putting them in the 25 dollar range. I tried out Dead Rising and it is an example of how some of the best core gameplay can be completely marred... Read more...

Merits a Look
I'm addicted to a simple, fun roguelike called Meritous. The rooms appear to be generated fractally. On my current game there are 3000 of them. Part of the fun is going room to room and watching the larger pattern appear on the map. It's not quite a one-button game but it's close. You move... Read more...

Excuses
Every time I miss the Round Table I always have some kind of dumb excuse. Well, this time I have a real reason. I wanted to write a post. I tried to write a post. But I already wrote it. I wrote it June 19, 2005. I spent a long time researching that post and a long time writing it. It was... Read more...
