Or eat chocolate and watch UHF? Well, it's been a long hard night of coding and what else to do afterwards? Why UHF though? I was watching Sharpe but it turned out that the set I have had a duplicate DVD. Turns out that Amazon actually has good customer support because within minutes of me sending them an email they're sending me another copy. Fantastic!

Do remember to change and make from the new project source tree directory rather than the old one. It's very confusing when you keep changing a header file and the compiler doesn't output expected errors.

It's kinda tough to be reverse engineering, init? Well, there are different degrees but sometimes things are just far too obscure.

Four games on Saturday, three games on Sunday for Snowplate then a five hour drive back followed by an indoor league game. Needless to say, tired now and sleepy but code must be written first! Yes, things to do.
So, in case you don't want to click on the link: Snowplate is a two day outdoor Ultimate tournament that takes places during the winter in Sudbury. Sudbury is cold and the snow is deep. You have to keep moving lest you catch a chill and it's all the fun parts of Ultimate combined with all the extremely tough parts. There are a total of seven games that each team must play and that means standard tournament format and very tough play. That is it's "tough" unless half of your team is snowed in in Ottawa and can't make the trip so you're left with three guys total (usually you field four guys and three ladies for each point) who must then play every point of every game. Then one of your guys gets hurt during the first game and then you're down to two gents which leads to the ladies having to play overtime as well. The tournament then goes from merely tough to perhaps as masochistic as an Ultimate tournament can get. Needless to say, fun times in the harsh winter weather and very tiring as well.
Good night.

Back from Sudbury. All muscles hurting, I'm also smelly and tired. I have my league Ultimate game tonight so I must prepare for that, ciao.

So many of you know that I'm a programmer and that I write quite a bit of code (or at least I did). So why, unlike other blogs, do I not paste code here or show you something interesting and neat? That question has been posed to me many a time and the reason is that the code I run into these days that's interesting or neat or code that I write that's interesting and neat simply isn't short. The code requires a deeper understanding of the system it's being implemented for and without understanding the problem the solution is useless to the viewer. So why not tips and techniques? Well, for the most part the internet is a large enough place that it's going to be far easier to find such items out there but I will endeavour to post some interesting tidbits from time to time.

Ryan just had his second daughter, Kaitlynn. She's so tiny!

As you know, WPT released Wiiminder earlier this week (video here). Today JohnnieTV responded on YouTube...yes, I know what you're thinking: Who's Johnnie? A very interesting person.

Eric helped me pick out some boots at Adventure Guide yesterday.

Chad has been chugging away overtime on this one. Wiiminder Forum post. Wiiminder itself.

Yes, I've been posting about WP a lot recently but that's been mostly what's been keeping folks busy 'round these parts. I reckon that towards the end of this month you'll start hearing about Snowplate.

Gotta get back to work on them engines again. Seems like there's so many projects on the go these days. I think I dodged a bullet on not having to work on one (goooooooood) and I think I finished off 90% of another. That's the problem with being a programmer, people keep asking you to work on things and you keep saying yes because you see the challenge. Unfortunately problems in these new projects get solved within a few days and it's boring after that as it's all implementation. Of course, I echo the sentiments Jonathan Rentzsch who also stated that programmers don't like to code.
Fortunately, as projects wind down it brings us one step closer to working exclusively on games and WPT projects. It's hard to convey the excitement and electricity knowing that projects are coming about and that soon all will be well. Again, not very soon but we'll chug away and over time tackle all of our ideas.
