  The State of the Education Address: What I Have Done – Vocabulary and Grammar

  06.01.11 | Permalink | Comments Off

  Vocabulary and Grammar I suppose I should count the Japanese classes I took a year ago (nearly 18 months ago, now). There is some debate over whether taking formal classes is good or not, but as said previously, I definitely think that neglecting my Kanji study for the vocabulary and grammar I leaned in the [...]

  First post in my “State of the Education Address”, where I talk about where I am in my Japanese studies, and what the future might hold.

  Upgrade!

  05.30.11 | Permalink | Comments Off

  I’ve not been blogging lately because I was going to migrate the blog, so obviously I couldn’t add more posts because that would just mean I’d have to redo the backup. And then the migration process stalled and I got out of the habit.

  myBreakout v. 1.4

  04.17.10 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  v 1.4 Added blocks that can take more than one hit. Added a map that demonstrates said ablative block, and also celebrates Scotland. Made the blocks “fixed”, which I’m hoping fixes some odd bounce/physics issues. Added “Yay!” sound when you clear a level.

  myBreakout 1.1

  04.07.10 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  Changed “Press X to start” to “Click to Start” (as it’s a mouse-driven game) The ball will now bounce differently depending on where it hits the bat, allowing control over the ball. Ball will speed up if you complete a level (but will reset if you die – may wish to fix that later) myBreakout [...]

  Game development on the train

  04.05.10 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  On the way down to visit Mum, Dad and 2/3 of my siblings, I took the work laptop with me. I, like most of my family, have a rather unhealthy fear of being bored. The intention was to continue with some of the Flash game development I’ve been doing. Somewhat to my surprise, I actually [...]

  A Delightful New Decade To All!

  01.01.10 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  I know some hold that the decade doesn’t end until 2011, but in my opinion, if the tens digit clicks over, it’s a new decade! So here’s hoping that 2010 is a good one, and the ‘teens treat you well!

  Snow!

  12.17.09 | Permalink | Comments Off

  It finally got around to snowing around my place, having started in England before Scotland, which is just wrong.  It wasn’t snowing when I left work in Glasgow, and I snoozed on the bus home (I was actually worried I’d missed my stop), and when I woke up everything was different… I took some pics…

  Mouse relocation

  11.22.09 | Permalink | 5 Comments

  I finally deployed my Live Catch Trip Trap Mouse Trap, as you’re supposed to check it every two hours, and this is really the first time since I bought it that I’d actually have the time to relocate the mouse should one turn up in it. Well, only three hours later I start to hear [...]

Musings of a Creative Slacker

"Creative Slacker" referrs to the fact that I should be doing creative stuff – writing, art, 3D animation, RPG stuff, but I don't. Maybe "lazy bastard" would be more appropriate.
