Getting Hooked on Titan Quest

Monday, December 28th, 2009

I’m back, which only means one thing … it’s winter break. After 3 months of hell, I’m back for a month. Last year’s winter was actually spent regreting my shitty first semester, but this semester was good. Did well in all my classes and had fun socializing with college and the fun it has to offer. I’m thinking next semester will be even better.

Movie Review: Inglourious Basterds

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Just got back from watching Inglourious Basterds and I must admit, it was a pretty good movie. Brad Pitt was amazing … even for the short time that he was there, he was awesome! I must admit I would have liked the movie more if it had some more action than the long dialogue, but I guess that’s why it’s a Quentin Tarantino movie.

E-mail me your Tutorial Ideas

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

I have noticed a recent jump in activity. Over 10 new members have subscribed to the mailing list and the activity has risen from 25 hits per day to 150, most of you guys coming in from NetTuts.

For some reason, I am unable to reply to your comments on NetTuts. They’ve been in moderation forever. So to those coming here, if you liked my screencast and have some new tutorial ideas for me, e-mail them to me and I’ll pitch the ones I like to Jeffrey. If he likes the idea too, I’ll go ahead and make a screencast for it :) .

Tutorial featured on NetTuts

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

Last week, NetTuts editor Jeffrey Way posted an announcement for a competition he was holding, offering $500 to the next 2 Plus tutorials accepted. The offer sounded “tempting” and I thought I’d give it a shot. I sent in my submission on Monday but did not expect a response.

Uber Speed

Wednesday, June 10th, 2009

So I had recently upgraded to Windows 7 RC and noticed that it doesn’t run to well on my PC. I’m not too sure why either since i have 2 gb of RAM and it says that 1 gb is the minimum. After much struggle and irritation, I got myself a 4 gb pack and OMG THIS SHIZ IS FREAKING FAST!!!

Programs load in a second, the internet is twice as fast, omg this is sooo much more productive than my old shit. Wow I didn’t realize that RAM really does make all the difference. I’m much more happy now. Time to crack down to the coding :)
