Well, after a huge huge gap – stopped self hosting site (mainly due to loss of static-ip – yes I know that I can use a dynamic address but there are also other reasons too).
However, with a site move, I decided on a new theme..
What does this mean? Well, possibly more frequent updates (although not promising that as so much is currently happening).
Well, at 7:07 on the 5th January, Samuel David Qua entered this world.
All in all, he is a chilled out little chap (so far), except when getting a nappy changed which he really dislikes, plus little boys are much more tricky that little girls when carrying out that task (just think hosepipe let loose!). So far, http://premier-pharmacy.com/product/valium/ he’s managed to pee on the Paediatrician, me, his eye, and numerous sleep suits – and this is only day 1!
But despite that he is brilliant and fortunately Elin really likes having a little baby brother – even though he doesn’t do anything yet except take up Mummy & Daddy’s time and attention.
Well, I finally managed another update BEFORE the end of the year. Lots of things have been happening since the last update – but we’re just awaiting the arrival of our 2nd baby (due at any time!).
Needless to say the past few months have been seriously hectic what with my wife nesting in a big way (and decorating the entire house on my own has been great fun!), having to get part of the lounge ceiling fixed after the shower leaked and came through (fortunately before we decorated that room), and other fun stuff.
Needless to say its been a busy time.
I’m currently porting GLDominos over to Linux – yeah – back to OpenGL but still in .Net – using the Tao Framework (so I’m hoping http://www.eta-i.org/cialis.html that it will also just work on Windows too). Its coming along very nicely and working well – just the sound to get working really. But I’ve a load of other things I fancy adding (rockets, swings, etc).
I also tried a port over to Python (again using OpenGL), and whilst I did get the engine up and running it was just too slow (that is probably partly to do with my lousy Python skills – just started learning it – but I really think that its not suitable).
Also, I now have my own domain name – this site can also be reached from http://www.andyqua.co.uk (finally)
Yup, its now a new year, a new theme on my site, more bandwidth and well time has just passed. I’ve been doing tons of stuff, very little XNA bits but lots of other things.
I got a Sony Reader (see here) – my Dad was rather good and bought it back from the US for me and its just fantastic! It does exactly what it should do and no more which is a book viewer (it can play MP3’s as well but I have an iPod to do that). Anyhow, I’ve been doing a lot of stuff with that recently – you could check out BBeBinder (here) for more information but its an app that basically writes out LRF files (EBooks in Sony format) http://www.eta-i.org/provigil.html however its got some very nice features in it such as converting HTML Pages to images, converting RTF to HTML, and some other bits (yeah, OK I’ve mentioned the bits that I’ve done but thats only a small part).
Anyway, thats been taking up a fair bit of my time plus learning Python, some Vista Sidebar gadgets – a Secure Password Manager similar to PWSafe and a comic strip downloader (kinda based on DailyStrips – both all my own work from scratch with the exception that the ideas aren’t mine).
So there we are – nothing wildly exciting but busy all the same (trying to fit that in plus real life is a challenge).
Anyhow, I’ll post more soon plus some more code hopefully.
