So,
love is cool. It lacks a few specific features I'd want, but otherwise it's a nice demonstration of how to link sdl and lua yet again. I think I got esdemo1 hooked on it though.
SDL_LOTS_OF_WRAPPERSAnyways, I went back to play with sdl_mixer, sdl_image, and sdl_ttf again. It was actually stupid easy working with them once I got the linker issues resolved. Trying to build from source in the past caused me heartache, so just going with the provided binaries simplifed things greatly. It's only proved to me more and more that reinventing the wheel is totally not the way to go. Specifically when you have a girlfriend that you'd rather spend time with than code, you need to maximize the utility of the time you do actually spend coding for fun.
The number of dependencies does shoot through the roof, though.
ROOT CANALI got that lingering toothache for the last few months fixed with invasive surgery. I have a crown now in my mouth. Considering how close to the "future" we actually are now, my transition into an artificial being has begun. See you fleshbag jerks later.
LAYOFFSThe guy sitting next to me at work got laid off. Sucks, because that dude was pretty cool to talk to. His desk has been taken over by a guy who doesn't talk much, except to make the occasional funny quip.
STOP MOTIONCoraline was a cool movie. But, I probably should have had the 3d glasses, and, gone when there wasn't like a million children in the theater. For the record, I took Angie to see it with me, and I wasn't that creepy guy staring at your kids.
ALL WILL BE KNOWNThis season of Battlestar Galactica is turning out great, albeit convenient. They've been dangling plot lines in our face for so long that now its
resolution resolution resolution tom zareck resolution. I don't think it would have ruined the series to let us in on a couple of these things a little earlier, rather than all at the end.
VDI got a cold on Valentine's day, so it was rice soup and shivering on the couch with Angie for me this weekend. She loved the
Yo Yo plushy.
FLESHBAGSI've been playing too much
Left4Dead lately. Or, too little. I can't decide, maybe I need to play a few more games to figure out. Anyone with xbox want to play with me? I love the crap out of the
Dead Air scenario, we'll play that.
