Weird Hiccup
January 19, 2005Read moreMy sister points out that my site is messed up, like it can’t find the stylesheet. Links are also strange with a “redirect” attribute I don’t remember putting in. I can’t figure out what’s wrong with it, so I try unpublishing and republishing the last auto-posted article. Then it’s OK, but is it coincidence?
Update: It happened again between 830PM and 1010PM! What’s going on?
Update: Apparently it’s an exploit that allows the
site_urloption to be changed by unauthorized people…spammers or attempts at search engine optimizing?The temporary fix is here… disable some code in your
wp-login.phpfile and wait for the devs to fix. At least, I HOPE this is the problem. I had noticed some weird things happening with my site_url settings getting changed on me a couple months ago as well. I wonder if this is related to that incident. - January 19, 2005
Five of Ten
January 19, 2005Read moreI’ve queued up 5 game programming projects for this year so far:
- The ActiveEdge Winteractive, which I’m finalizing code for right now
- The resurrection of Crixa
- A Flash conversion of a game programmed by my cousin Ben Loh, originally created in RealBasic
- A collaboration with the “cool” Brad Fitzpatrick, Illustrator / Cartoonist. Not that other guy.
- There are also some tools on Ingeeni’s Website that look interesting, so I want to see what’s up with them. Looks like an interesting 2.5D sprite technology for Flash.
I’m also evaluating some cross platform third party game engines for C# development…more on that later. So many tools. So little time.

Stupidless Computing
January 19, 2005Read moreThe idea of “stupidless computing” came to me in the car this morning while returning Diane’s PC. Has a certain ring to it, doesn’t it? I felt a tremendous desire to do something about this.

Bruce Lee Ultra-Interactive
January 19, 2005Read more
Stumbled upon I Know Where Bruce Lee Lives, the “ultra-interactive kung-fu remixer“. It’s a Flash toy that allows you to sequence audio and visual clips together. Delivers a lot of oomph for a relatively simple bit of interactive technology. It again shows that content and design is king, not fancy shmancy programming. Bruce Lee kick programmer’s butt any day of week!
An interesting feature is the sequencer, which allows you to save your “mix” for playback, though not to an MP3.

Let the Games Begin!
January 18, 2005Read more
Last year I started to transition away from graphic design to programming, writing a couple ActionScript 2.0 based Flash apps. To maintain momentum, my pledge for 2005 is to make 10 games. They might be crappy, short, or ugly, but each game will provide an opportunity to learn something about game theory versus implementation. I’ve got game theory in spades…implementation (that is, code) is where the rubber meets the road.
