Boss gave me one of our competitors spreadsheets (in paper form) detailing all of the products they supported over the past year. It was a nice thick 80-page spreadsheet. He wanted me to type it into excel and run some numbers on it; said I could have up to 2 weeks.

Went to their website, got a downloadable copy in PDF form. Noticed that it was in an easy-to-convert format, and got the whole thing in excel in 5 minutes. Had to play w/ some regex in MS Word first.

Now I have 2 weeks to f**k around and do some programming during office hours

I'm sure if I told him, he would do the same.
As far as he's concerned, I just finished page 3

Started making an RPG during work today.

Just finished making an astar implementation.
Uses the same engine as my FPS engine from the WIP forum

Just went to subway with my friend and ordered the following sandwich:



ingredients (in order):
flatbread
all the sauces
lettuce
pickles
cilantro
two scoops of tuna
now we toast it
three meatballs

I hate tuna on sandwiches but I really appreciate this post.

EDIT: Just realized I didn't quote @Archive about his post.

It isn't easy to be a great ( ) father, a gamer and a programmer (in my opinion).
But sometimes, when I'm not too tired, I had that feeling that said to me: The little angel is sleeping, now you can play. But with only 30 or 60 minutes it isn't easy to find the right game.

But after more than 16 month without gaming I fulfilled a childhood dream. I build a handheld, now I can play all my favourite old games. (final fantasy 7/8 for the psx, super mario for the snes, aladdin for the sega megadrive, asterix for the master system, pokemon yellow the the gbc, harvest moon for the gba, YuGiOh for the gba etc)

Yes, I build a supergamegirl, a handheld with a raspberry 3, 5000mA battery etc. =)
AND I AM HAPPPPPPPY! In the evening I can play in bed, when I travel with the train I can play ... yes that is luxury.



Next plan is to build a Pigrrl Zero. Why? Because I can =)

Defined more tree types in vangard, including ancient pine and ancient oak... Chopping down ancient trees is bad karma.

I have added more plant products as well.

Pine trees make pine cones but I can't think of any practical uses for pine cones. I suppose you could gather lots of pine cones and sell them as firewood bundles.

I read that acorns are poisonous but can be converted into edible food by leaching the toxins out. The downside is they don't taste very nice but the vikings did eat them occasionally. I guess they are free food for the viking underclass.

Vikings loved hazelnuts so I had better add those tonight.

I thought I'd take "a day" to learn how to save and load XML files of settings for a Java app. I chose the theremin I wrote as the target for this. If it is to become a useful program, it should have the ability to allow one to save settings for the various types of sounds it can make, ranging from classic theremin to space ships or the industrial-echo-overdrive effects.

It turned into a three day job. (Could have been worse!) Unanticipated or partially anticipated sub tasks included: getting JavaFX MenuBars working, getting Swing's JFileChooser working (including dealing with suffixes, warnings for overwriting files) Swing JOptionPanes (seems easier to work with than JavaFX where you have to build your own, AFAIK), and doing a bit of cleanup of my code separating "model" from "presentation".

Success.

Acorns are quite a widespread food, especially in times of famine, and is a regular part of korean food today. I remember trying to eat them as a kid. My older brother said they were yummy.

RUNESCAPE REFERENCE ALERT :p
(by the way, i think of an armadyl godsword too)

Anyways, thanks to Mr. orange451, I was able to add MD3 animations to this wonderful software rendered engine of mine

After a lot of days, made some more progress on my game, and drawn the king (appears in cutscenes, not in game play):

Right: Original hand made sketch with pen on paper.

Wrote a post on how LWJGL 3's approach to memory management enables clean and efficient code.

I'm reading a ton about Nietzsche relative morality, among other things. I've done a lot of thinking and I've come to a point where I hold the belief that someone's personal definition of morality and worth completely stems from how they place their wellbeing relative to others, which in turn stems from their biologically defined affinity for remorse, or how in other words how an action that affects another person affects your state of mind. It's a really really interesting thing to think about. I find myself going around in circles in my head doing so, discovering more and more rational paths of thought related to this subject and I always come to this conclusion. Sorry that this isn't exactly related to this forum's subject material, but I had to write it out somewhere.

Fiddeled around with webgl for the first time:
jsfiddle - Julia Fractal
(using highp anyway)

Implemented an occlusion culling algorithm i thought about in the morning, doubt it's original but here's a gif of it working :p

NOTE: yes I purposely made it not render behind a alpha tested texture.
