I Have Other Hobbies

A few comments:

• The pictures are blurry because the monitor generates a lot of reflected glare and I’m too lazy to figure out how to get clear pictures in those lighting conditions.
• Yes, I know it’s messy! My desk is covered with electronics right now. It gets cleaned every so often, but screw taking pictures of that.
• That cardboard box bookshelf speaker actually sounds really good. Response does fall off below 55hz though.
• The amp is probably capable of delivering 60W/channel into these 8 ohm duos, and they’re 93 db at 1W/1m. It can get very, very loud.

VirtualBox is Better (wait, maybe not)

So after yesterday, I figured I may as well give VirtualBox its fair shake. It’s difficult to find up-to-date information on ANY of the virtualization systems, as most of them have gained a whole slew of features recently. I discovered that VMWare Player can do hardware accelerated graphics, but only for Windows guests. Presumably this is a result of their focus on the Fusion product. I’ve also installed VirtualBox and played with a bit, and initial impressions are pretty good.

VMWare Player is Great

Recently, I’ve started using VMWare Player. The original VMWare Player was a crippled piece of junk that could only play pre-made virtual machine images, and represented one of the very early volleys in the free virtualization war. As a result, most of the readily found information about Player on the net is completely wrong, and I think it’s not a generally appreciated product because of it.

Checklist to Lead an Online Game Project

So, it’s come to the junction where you’ve decided that you’d like to form and head up a project. It’s time to recruit a proper team and build something real. Should be no problem, right? Your idea is bloody brilliant, and you’re certain that people will be clamoring over each other to join when they hear your idea and see your logo.

Meet RunDialog V2

I know what you’re thinking, and the answer is YES. It does remember all of the settings each time you open it! You’ll be able to save and load configurations shortly, too.
