Using Dropbox as Cloud Save Game Storage

2011-08-18T03:39:25Z

Using a service like Dropbox as a convient way to synchronize your game files between two computers (such as a desktop and a laptop) is really pretty easy. Here is how to create a directory junction in Windows from your game's normal save game directory and a special directory created in your Dropbox folder. I [...]

Update on stuff

2011-05-20T06:26:38Z

Wow, looking back at my last post ... January 26. I guess that is what being gainfully employed does to a person. Normally I might grouse about not having enough time for my own projects, but then again I am at a point in my life where I can appreciate a steady paycheck. What have [...]

WOTAN Fornever

2011-01-24T06:57:08Z

I have placed WOTAN on hiatus. Not permanent, but I would not feel uncomfortable calling it indefinite. I reached an impasse where I just could not decide what exactly I wanted that would make WOTAN stand out. Inspired by Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress, I have kept to my original vision of WOTAN being not simply [...]

Poop, poop and more POOP

2010-11-15T22:20:29Z

For the past week, I have been hard at work building a full-featured Minecraft server, featuring the Hey0 Admin as well Google Maps-enabled web access to the server map through the c10t mapping client on an Ubuntu 10.10 virtual server in Virtualbox. Now I realize it was all pointless. I guess I could host this [...]

Stuff that I am doing

2010-11-07T10:27:41Z

So another month rolls past, the month of October in this year of Our Noodly One 2010. What did I do? Well, I certainly didn't make any blog posts, that's for sure. I made a feeble attempt to get back into World of Warcraft. Sadly, I just couldn't do it, though I may try again. [...]

September wrap-up – Amnesia, Civ V and hermetic lit 101

2010-10-03T04:53:13Z

So ends another week. Yes, I am aware I have not posted in more than a month. However, I have been terribly busy with work and other such worthy activities. Food and shelter and all that. In fact, I write this now sitting one our fair city's filthy light-rail lines, making my two-hour trek back [...]

August lives up to its name with Reign of Augustus

2010-08-19T00:00:39Z

Time flies when you are conquering Gallia, as the old saying goes. I think. Or rather, "tempus fugit" would be more appropriate to say, I suppose. So what am I prattling on about? Well, the fact that the expansion to Grand Ages Rome, Reign of Augustus, has finally been put up for sale in North [...]

WOTAN Vaporware?

2010-08-04T15:54:31Z

So it is official. I haven't updated the blog in a couple weeks and I have decided to officially name Project WOTAN to WOTAN FOREVER (reference). OK, not really, however I have had an interesting development lately in that I have become gainfully employed. I swore it wouldn't happen again, but who was I kidding? [...]

A little progress, emphasizing “little”

2010-07-15T17:48:58Z

Schleppery -- Muse, sing to me of the schleppery of Isis' son Fortuente, lugubrious, doomed, that cost the Oregonians countless food stamps, hurling down to the House of Fail so many fat bowls, great kind-bud bowls, but made their buds ash, feasts for house-plants and the compost, and the will of Odin was moving toward [...]

Lego Universe: totally sweet or totally sweetest?

2010-07-13T22:52:29Z

I am the father of a small boy. So I can tell you Lego Universe has been on my radar for most of this year, at least. I just came across a preview written by Jon Wood at mmorpg.com based on a LU presentation at E3. I guess it makes sense it would be thought [...]
