Back from GDP training at SIDC Malaysia. Pretty awesome day. #
Another long day. Getting used to it though. Maybe. #
Terribly feverish. Grr. #
Still recovering. Now I have a sore throat from all that coughing. #
Restocked on blank DVDs! #
Still sick. Damn. Looks like it's gonna be weeks before I recover. Sounds like a certain outbreak last year. Grrr. #
Studying CT6 math. Well, more like revising MLEs and integration. #

I'm a huge fan of the Mersenne Twister algo, so you can guess what I just implemented into my game. #
Thinking of replacing my PDA phone's battery. The battery life has been declining significantly recently. #
I probably won't be working on the Hecatomb POC for a while – but it now consumes 9MB of RAM. Card handling will come next. #
Had a very busy few days, gonna be busy most of the time from now on, so updates will become very scarce. As if I didn't see this coming. #
I finally got my Wii Motion Plus unit. Adds a bit of heft to the Wii Remote – and makes it feel nice and weighty. #
@chewxy AHAHAAHAHAHAHA *falls off chair and injures back* in reply to chewxy #
Another busy day this week. This is going to take some getting used to. #
Messing around with my Wii again. Well, mostly really updating the firmware. #

Awake, but a little short on sleep. #
A great mystery beckons. What's for lunch? #
And so it turned out to be Lam Mee. #
And so now Black Diamond by Stratovarius is stuck in my head. #
Going crazy over sorting algorithms. Sort of. #
So many movies on my 'to watch' list. Time to clear up the backlog with some DVDs! When I get the time… #
Been working on coding the Hecatomb card game. Gonna update my blog with a screenshot soon! #
Fixed the speed problem by rewriting my entire transparency algorithm. The speed gain is so substantial, preloading is no longer essential! #
Don't have access to the computer I use for development for now. On the plus side, I did fix the card speed problem – one less headache. #
Planning out the resource manager while building a temporary database. #
Rewrote how the game handles visible cards again. Next focus will be the database – mostly under the hood changes for now. #
Taking a day off working on the game's backend and making graphical tweaks to it instead. #
And so I ended up repairing the game's backend to make a front end function work. I am sooooo terrible at programming. #
Rest day today. No work. No study. Just play. And probably loads of sleep. #
Doing strange things to my Wii. Like taking it apart. #
