Best game ever. Enough said
waffle, etc…::06.24.2009+00:55
There’s a whole bunch of new pictures in the photos section, which I will probably end up posting about sometime in the future. Work is continuing on playing and beating awesome games, but it’s slow going right now.
Better than all of that, was that I finally got some time to sit down with my horrible, crappy, modular synth: waffle and start improving it. I think it’s a neat piece of software for exactly two reasons: 1) it proves that modular synthesizers (and audio software in general) aren’t that hard to write and 2) that jack has a really sweet API. Granted, it’s sometimes hard to get audio software right, but if you’re just looking for something good enough, you might be able to write it yourself. Hopefully, I will be able to keep up my motivation and get around to writing a gui (rather than an insane command-prompt-thingy). That’s it for now.
life, again::05.27.2009+22:51
I haven’t updated this blog in forever, and I almost wonder why I even bother. At any rate, I graduated in December and got a job working for this pretty awesome little company in Troy, 1st Playable Productions. I was working there as an intern last summer and was pretty lucky to get hired back full-time, given the current economic situation. Last summer I worked a tiny bit on Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force, a fair amount on Ener-G: Gym Rockets, and wrote a large portion of Imagine Cheerleader.
That’s pretty much it for now. I’m hoping to start updating this more often and maybe start posting pictures.
day three: pickles::07.28.2008+19:13
Part of the joy of being an intern comes from having hour limits for a given pay period. I recently managed to get myself a six day weekend due to the aforementioned limits, and this is day three.
mostly better karma::05.26.2008+00:40
So the battery came I went home for the weekend to go fix my Rio Karma. Everything went quite well. It was annoying that the battery happens to be soldered to the device itself, but whatever, it was only two connections. The new battery works and that makes me happy. However, when taking the device apart over a week ago to get at the battery board, I managed to snap off the lock-switch. I don’t know who designed it, but I’m surprised that the switch didn’t break during manufacturing. It’s the tiniest thing, and is held together by a miniscule span of plastic. At any rate, I didn’t manage to have the patience to glue it back together, so my Karma’s now forever in the unlocked position, not that I even used the switch in the first place. I’m just happy that it works again and won’t suffer a battery-crushing-the-mostly-irreplaceable-hard-drive death like it would have, had this gone unnoticed. I don’t want an iPod, and it’s going to stay that way for a long time.
