As a follow up to the lamentations of the last few days…
Son: Feeling better! Nice to see the little guy bright-eyed again.
Bandwidth Issues: Fixed! A friend has nicely allowed me to put my images on his server. More on this once the move is complete. Everyone thank Pixy Misa.
Funeral: I don’t want to say too much here. This is one of those things that needs 500 words or none. My wife attended the funeral.
Work: I can see the finish line on this project. Assuming I don’t do anything stupid, (like, write buggy software) I should have a nice, quiet holiday.
Bethesda’s Launcher is Everything You Expect
From the company that brought us Fallout 76 comes a storefront / Steam competitor. It's a work of perfect awfulness. This is a monument to un-usability and anti-features.
Shamus Plays LOTRO
As someone who loves Tolkein lore and despises silly MMO quests, this game left me deeply conflicted.
The Best of 2011
My picks for what was important, awesome, or worth talking about in 2011.
What is Vulkan?
There's a new graphics API in town. What does that mean, and why do we need it?
Trusting the System
How do you know the rules of the game are what the game claims? More importantly, how do the DEVELOPERS know?
I’m glad things seem to be going better for you now. All the best to you and yours for happy holly days!
Some may say I delight in bringing bad news, that I have ever been a herald of woe, troubles following me like crows. “Ill news is an ill guest,” they say.
Nevertheless, I say to you, I do not believe your bandwidth issues are solved, at least not permanently. You write too well. I just hope that when you’ve an audience so large that, in order to pay for the bandwidth you use, you have to triple your already doubled and redoubled rates, you remember those of us who can say, “I knew him when.”
Glad to hear things are looking up! I always hate when reality intrudes upon my Christmas holiday, but it always seems like something is looming… so I’m glad things are working out for you:)
What about your daughter? ;) Her tonsillectomy must still be coming up, eh? I hope it goes well. I hope she’s not too nervous.
Glad to hear your son is doing better.
Hello sir! It’s me, your neighbourhood “reading through your archives) fairy. Just letting you know once more that the link to your wife’s blog is broken. (on, obviously, a different page.)
I understand if the transitive nature of the internet means that you don’t really care if several-year-old posts have broken links, but I thought I’d let you know about this once, since it’s a link that shares your domain.
Cheers!
