i have been compelled to blog ever since i created an "online diary" on
tripod many years back. (please don't look for it.) i have a livejournal for
personal / amusing things, and a blog called geekstorming for me to spew out my half-formed
opinions and ideas about software.
i think too much about videogames. sometimes that turns into writing
too much about videogames, and it ends up at the gamer's quarter.
i like to write software; much of it is ridiculous is some manner or
another.
- i am in the process of bringing back the anarchic spirit of mid-90s
shareware with my new website, glorioustrainwrecks.com.
- the ludum dare 48-hour game
programming competition is a lot of fun. the last time i managed to
put together a nice little faux-japanese shooter i call magnificent
gunbright. before that i tried to make a game about sneezing but i didn't finish.
- i ported kenta
cho's noiz to the nintendo
ds.
- i wrote a reimplementation of the world's second videogame, tennis for two,
that you can play with a friend over the internet.
- i enjoy constantly re-implementing robotfindskitten for
all known platforms.
- would you like to read my undergraduate thesis? it's about writing
hard realtime interrupt handlers in sml. i'm fond of ludicrous ideas
like this.
- would you like to read the last paper of my
undergraduate career? it is technically about just-in-time
compilation, but at the time that i wrote it i was so burned out on my
thesis that i just couldn't do it straight. watch out for page 3.
- looking for some wacky toast-modern (as opposed to that postmodern
crap) gameplay? look no further than scong! be
the ball! note: does not contain naked people.
- i created a language to piss off my professor. it is called intbigot and it is very silly.
- a long time ago, i developed a little mac app for my wife called the
excludotron. nothing fancy, just a wrapper
around grep which allowed her to search for words in the
english wordlist built into macos x that may or may not contain certain
letters. (she is a poet.)
- i ported linux agi studio to macos x. you might like to play with it. i'm not really supporting it, though.
- there's some interesting qnx-related stuff on my qnxzone page.
i am a band. its name is livestock at large.
i have a great deal of old
computers.
i wrote some articles about how big of a geek i
am. they're a few years old now (ah, first year university!), but
hopefully they're not too embarassing to continue to exist.
lucky charms in the united states are magically
disturbing.
internet animation! it's the future! i'm the future! watch and
enjoy this fantastic movie trailer for a film
that probably shouldn't exist.
i am proud to say that i have created the greatest
mother's day card of all time. i have also created one of the greatest birthday cards of all time.
i think i may give up buying cards entirely.
one day, years ago, i came in to work to find an old hairdresser's chair sitting
right in my parking spot. no one ever came by to claim it,
so myself and a friend smuggled it home. my then-girlfriend, now-wife
painted it black and used it quite effectively in a play as a torture
device. it was perhaps the most surreal thing that has ever entered my
possession.
here is a lovely picture of me and my wife on
the day we got married. here is a lovely picture of my entire family giving the thumbs-up. here is
a lovely picture of myself in a boss hat,
wearing sunglasses and posing to look like a feka
goon.
