Ogre Game Labs: A Proposal

(This is intended for one person, really, but I thought I’d put it on here so you all could see a new project I’m wanting to work on and maybe express some interest.) Myself and several other members have a particular interest in designing games, and enough new online tools have emerged recently that I [...]

How to install Windows XP SP3 on Mac OSX Lion and get drivers, too. [updated 5/2/12]

I considered various triple and quad boot options for my new (to me) MacBook Pro, but eventually decided on a simple dual-boot, OSX Lion and Windows XP.  If you’re reading this via a Google search, you likely ran into some problems too.  If you have been trying to do this without involving Boot Camp at [...]

Read My Lips, No New Fart Apps

I took the plunge, bit the bullet, followed the crowd and clichéd all the clichés. I bought a Mac, specifically a MacBook Pro from Late 2008. I’ve already pre-emptively deleted a paragraph that sounded like gushing because I’m honestly very impressed with OS X, moreso than I expected to be. Anyway, the reason I’m writing [...]

The Toolbelt: Some of my most-used code snippets for PHP, MySQL, HTML and CSS.

I’ve meant to work on this for quite a while. These are some of my most used code snippets to shorten a process, handy workarounds, pieces of code I need all the time or other such things. HTML: The Meta Redirect Use case: You need to redirect someone to another page, and don’t want to [...]

Pie to Finger Ratio

I thought it would help me focus if I wrote down all the web projects I’m working on now. Project Havana: Lot of work to go, got some pretty jQuery animations going on but very little content. Lot of data entry to go, but I feel like this project has the best odds of being [...]

First World Dilemmas

My creative impulses are dragging me all over the place. I’ve got about a half-dozen projects I want to work on and I’m paralyzed with indecision. Maybe writing them down will help. In no particular order, I want to… – Get started on the perfume I’m making for Eve. – Play the hell out of [...]

Brevity

Brevity is fine, I need to remember this. See you on Monday.

Am I a writer? Or just restless?

There’s a certain self-righteous quality to calling yourself a writer when you have no published/paid work to your name. At that point you are closer to the truth if you refer to yourself as a “typist.” I have some friends, though, that exhibit that trait that I think is the telltale sign of a “real” [...]

Brought to you by the letter 5

This morning I started in earnest on converting a WordPress theme for thelegendofmax.net into the nostalgic, 2003-2004 era site. So far it’s going quite well. I’m not sure exactly what I will do with a new old TLoM once it’s up and running but that’s neither here nor there. Step 1 is getting it set [...]

Music Club?

I’m thinking about starting a Spotify-centric music club. They’re a lot of fun, they get you to listen to stuff you wouldn’t normally listen to, you get to share your favorite artists with others, and you get to do some critical writing. I’m in favor of all these things. The format would be something like [...]
