Happy New Years!

I’m going to be working this evening, so I’ll be seperated both from meatspace friends and my wonderful girlfriend. If any of you wired folk are likewise stranded, mayhap we’ll celebrate this sidewalk’s end over some eggnog on IRC.

Hotsyncing a Sony Clie under Linux

Using udev, hotplug, and pilot-xfer to hotsync a usb Sony Clie without manually starting a sync application on the computer.

Kuu-rin’s Day of Flight

What was once a bustle of packets moving to and fro slowly passed into a mere trickle. The world ceased to acknowledge, and she in return (or was it the other way around?), but her sisters remained close. Kuu rarely stirred from her place, and to all appearances had taken ill of mind and heart.
Such [...]

Destroyed 60-212

60-212, Java, does thusly take mine boot in its arse.
Project is done, exam is done. Now we’re just waiting for the marks. I must say, I dislike being forced, for the sake of examination, to think up fanciful error cases just to demonstrate try-catch.
I was rather concerned about about missing elements of answering on question [...]

Java 60-212 Project

Things I have learned in this class: Java sucks hardcore. It is completely useless for any actual task, regardless of complexity. Exception error handling and [...]

Line-Kill Spirits

Coming once again from Ely’s scary video game linkup, we have Line-Kill Spirits from Game Programming Study Club
Line-Kill Spirits is, indeed, the most Japanese video game ever. Or, at least, stereotypically so. In any event, I would so rock at it.
It features cute little girls beating the crap out of each other. Pretty par for [...]

Codepoetica the Yule-time Squirrel

Much grinning is due to Kitty’s ever-inspiring awesomeness. It must be established, and illustrated, at some point, just how this little rodent maintains his links to the wired.

Arguing Marks

I got a 69% on my Java midterm. That sucked. When I went to look at the paper, it was discovered that the third of three questions was marked very poorly. To the tune of 19% less than I should have received, seemingly because the TA did not approve, or comprehend the use, of multi-dimentional [...]
