These people are playing the most boring game ever invented for charity.The objective of the game is to drive a bus from Tucson, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada in real time at a maximum speed of 45mph, a feat that would take the player 8 hours of continuous play to complete, as the game cannot be paused.So far they've raised 13,000! 13,000!!!! Thats insane! They've got a live feed of the game,http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/unexcerpted/~3/Iwe2OEjLRp0/desert-bus.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Nekiruhs)0<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/unexcerpted?a=Iwe2OEjLRp0:WyoQ4puEqeI:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/unexcerpted?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/unexcerpted?a=Iwe2OEjLRp0:WyoQ4puEqeI:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/unexcerpted?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> </div>http://unexcerpted.blogspot.com/2007/11/desert-bus.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561960312943121.post-5080195238935004085Sun, 25 Nov 2007 19:35:00 +00002007-11-25T16:58:08.565-05:00GamesNext spring Konami celebrates its 10th year of making DDR games. For those living under a rock the last 10 years, heres the Wikipedia page: *click*.Just like anger management, some people*1 are bad at it, some people are really good at it. When I say good, I mean really good. And bad is, well ... (Do i even need a link here?).

The laptop I've been eyeing up for Christmas went on sale yesterday for $399 USD. Within 9 hours, every store within 71 miles of my area code is sold out of 'em. I didn't think there'd be such a rush on them, especially in my area at a Circuit City.

Why not make a plain text database. Taking the best features of YAML and CSV and making them more relational database like. IT would be easy to read and edit by hand, yet simple to parse in a program. I plan on implementing a Python module to do just this.http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/unexcerpted/~3/bK0D8M-kFzI/plain-text-databases.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Nekiruhs)0<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/unexcerpted?a=bK0D8M-kFzI:oZuxkX-cUnQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/unexcerpted?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/unexcerpted?a=bK0D8M-kFzI:oZuxkX-cUnQ:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/unexcerpted?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> </div>http://unexcerpted.blogspot.com/2007/10/plain-text-databases.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5437561960312943121.post-329588405400445367Sun, 21 Oct 2007 23:47:00 +00002007-11-25T12:14:24.554-05:00RubyWeb devPythonI'm debating learning a new language. Maybe Ruby. You see, I want to work at Google (After I'm out of college), and they do A LOT of web apps. And Ruby on Rails, from the hype, seems to be THE web framework. But I hear they use Python too. And I know Python very well, and I don't know Ruby at all. But the hype could be bigger than Rails actually is.

Programming in something like TextMate versus Notepad makes a big difference. TextMate is easy to use fast and powerful. It supports snippets and macros in the form of Bundles. Notepad supports word wrap, and thats about it (TextMate can do that too, just so you know).
