Yo dawg, I hear you like programming
December 01, 2011
My full-time job is teaching both computer networking as well as programming at a high school. We have a few courses that teach Visual Basic and then transition into programming with both the CLI and GUI with C#. Last year I tried to shake things up a bit and make the course more interesting by…

After having played both games, I've decided that BIA is much, much better than COD2. I don't play many games usually because of having no time, but I do play games that come with a relatively small time commitment that you can play a quick few minutes and then get back to doing whatever you *shou…

So today I got a random phone call.. It was from a phone scammer. "ooooooooh, my first real phone scam!", I thought. This was not an opportunity I would pass up.
For the next few minutes I was fed a story about this company called "Grant Procurement Corporation" based out of Champlain, New York th…

Here are some of the designs I made that never made it out the door. The color scheme pretty much had to be the blue you see now. Though the process of picking colors is a considerably difficult task. Ideally I would like to see a good balance of colors.. I think a few highly contrasting images …

I hope our server troubles are over. Then we can finally get around to finishing up our new site design.
Happy Thanksgiving to all you people from the states.

Hi all, my name is Opera. I am a web browser that has advertisements unless you pay for me. You know what's great about me? I do everything Mozilla Firefox does.. but for $39!

This is going to be on my "if I had the money list". Right now I have a p4 2.4ghz w/ 1 gig ram, 2x250 gig SATA150 hard drives in raid 1, 2x120 gig ATA133 hard drives in raid 1, dvdr/rw, ati radeon 9800 pro. I want to replace it when the 4800's become more commonplace I think.

Anybody who claims that web designs should not contain tables or be based from tables and adamantly insists upon it is an idiot. Why? Because the time is not right yet.. it takes too many hacks to get a CSS-based page looking okay on IE browsers because of so many f'ed up bugs and implementation …

The rating system was controversial when first implemented, but it was immediately proceeded with a rather large community shakedown where all of a sudden acting like a total ass got you slammed down pretty quick. Not only that, but others could see the lasting effects of your actions.

Went out playing paintball on sunday.. it was probably not the best experience I've ever had at Skirmish. It took a long time just to get out on the fields. We played castle games for much of the day.. which are basically attack/defend scenarios that allow you to waste a boatload of paintballs.

How did gamedev.net get it's name? Well, we had devgames.com, sweetoblivion.com, and gameprog.com all available since those were our pre-existing sites.. and I guess we were too proud to settle on one of those names. So gamedev.net was available, but not gamedev.com (and still no gamedev.com to t…

The GD Gathering was at least a year in the making. It initially started when I stumbled across a zipcode database for the U.S. I ended up doing some more searching and came across a world database that mapped cities to latitude/longitude coordinates.

My grandma's funeral is wednesday.. and I've been doing a lot to keep myself occupied.
One thing that has me excited is a new project for gamedev.net. We've been working on it for a few months now and I'm convinced that it is by far one of the coolest projects we have ever undertaken. Not only is …

My grandmother had been living with my family for the past five years. Last night she died in her sleep in her bed. They took her to the funeral home about an hour ago. I hope she's looking down at us from heaven.

As a school teacher I have the luxury of having summers off. During that time I managed to get my sleep schedule so flipped around that I was going to sleep at 8 AM and getting up at 4 PM. Sooooooo.. now I initially have to get up at 6AM and that will roll back to 5:00ish once students start comi…

I'm chillin in Salt Lake City, Utah at the moment. We tried finding a grocery store yesterday and found it to be a bit harder than we expected.. it doesn't seem like there is a whole lot to do around here either after driving through the city for a while. Though I did wander into a park with my …

So yeah.. so this is my "developer" journal. More like a diary really. This entry concerns the U-17 soccer team I'm coaching.
