On leaving .NET
|
I recently ran across a blog posting that echoed a lot of personal feelings that I hadn't yet figured out how to articulate.
It's a very hard decision. I'm very productive in .NET with C#. But I do often feel like it's me against the world here. C... |

Diddle, a DRY Data Definition Language
|
Introducing Diddle, my very hackish data definition language for people who don't like to type a lot.

need new development PCs
|
My desktop overheats, my laptop is a slow POS. It's time, it's time for an upgrade. I'll figure out specs on my own, but what I really want to talk about is manufacturers.
My desktop needs to be screamingly powerful. I have no patience for wa... |

JavaScript game loop

I have a number of uses for a "game loop" in javascript, either for old Dynamic HTML stuff or new HTML5 stuff, be it games or business apps. I'm not happy with the performance of setInterval (or its retarded brother, setTimeout) and was wondering... |

A poll on viewer reactions

I've put together a poll to test the subjective reaction of a viewer to certain stimuli. Basically, there are four images. Each image depicts the same pairs of circles. The images differ in the type of gradient rendered in the background. The poll is... |

the next 3 hour game contest

So, I'm thinking about running another contest soon. I was interested to hear what feedback people had about the contest. Any ideas on the format? Any ideas on ways it could be improved? Any ideas for thematic curve balls that would make th... |

What do you like about any game
|
I miss the original Bushido Blade's (a pre-SquareEnix Squaresoft title that wasn't an RPG and/or didn't suck) handling of sword combat with the realistic "one hit kills". It made the fights much more plodding and strategic, without making them long a... |

If the MPAA doesn't consistently apply rating standards, then consumers will lose faith in the system. It's basically a cartel.
It's not clear that the MPAA does consistentl... |

If movies are being already rated for their contents I don't see why games shouldn't. Anyone being against this law should also advocate for the removal of movie ratings too.

I respect Carmack as much as anybody.
But.

Booze to get mind off the code

I made myself a rule a long time ago: don't ever drink for any reason other than liking the taste. Drink for the enjoyment of the experience itself, not because it makes you forget things*.
If I'm just drinking, I'm going to just sit and think mor... |

RDP.
Configure the Windows machine to act as a desktop server. Then fire up the Mac. Use Microsoft's remote desktop client for Mac.
Or a physical switch.
also, OS X v10.4+ has a VNC server built in.
