Thursday we had our first meeting for the Greek small group that I'm leading. 6 other people showed up. There are three others (one a 10 year old boy) that couldn't make it this week, one other who will start in a couple weeks, and one other who might start coming next week. That's a pretty good sized batch of people. Anyway, it looks like a pretty ( Read more... )

Well, for the first time in a long time (at least so it seems) I've had a weekend to just relax. I got a chance to play some Quake 4, do a little flying, do some reading, watch some Batman, watch some NASCAR, do some programming work, sleep. It was awfully nice to feel like I could catch up on a variety of hobbies without having to go short on ( Read more... )

Another long delay since I last posted. It's been a pretty rough week. We had another round of crunch time at work (we managed to get the beta out the door). Then I spent about 11 hours on Friday working on the seven day roguelike challenge with gauntman (that went pretty well, although we didn't make quite as much progress as we'd like). Saturday ( Read more... )

Wow, 9 days since my last post! Some of that is excused because I was off on vacation (although I technically had internet access there, even if it was slow). Then I had the excuse of having to catch up with things after getting back from vacation. My only excuse after that can only be that we had a deadline at work on Friday, and we've got another ( Read more... )

Well, on the plus side my throat and body are no longer sore. Mrs. Kheldar says that according to my symptoms compared to hers, I should be over the worst ( Read more... )

Of course, on my last day of vacation before going back to work I'm starting to feel more and more sick. I've been holding out against a nasty sore throat and sniffly nose that Mrs. Kheldar has been nursing the last week or so. Looks like it's finally catching up to me though ( Read more... )

Well, I got a little bit of a late start today, due to my typical Saturday morning City of Heroes session with my dad, Optiker. That, and my initial enthusiasm for the project is starting to wear off. So, work on memTrainer progressed a little slowly today. I did manage to get the quiz window working, so that means the program is technically ( Read more... )

I made some real good progress on memTrainer today. I've got the main interface essentially completed, with a summary screen that shows statistics and other details about the current opened box of flash cards. I've also completed the interface that allows you to add new cards:

Earlier this year, gauntman (a college friend that I work with) and I realized that we would both have three extra days off between Christmas and New Year's. One of the hobbies we share is designing and developing computer games (not that we've ever actually finished one yet, but that's only because we haven't yet fully fleshed out a concept that ( Read more... )
