Reading a C++ Game Programming Book
Jul 8th
I’m reading a book titled “Beginning C++ Game Programming” by Michael Dawson. It’s really exciting read a C++ book, again. I haven’t touched a c++ editor nor a compiler since my college days. The last editor I’ve been in for a number of years is Dreamweaver – from 2004 up to Adobe Creative Suite 4. I did a quick search, on “linux c++ editor” and I found a program called Eclipse. Looks promising, so I’m installing it. 76 packages total. As for my reading, its late, so, I stopped at page 4.
Linux Picks Up Where Windows FAIL!
Jun 2nd
I just wanted to share about our experience last night with trying to log into our Bank of America account. Ever since we moved (about a month ago) my wife had a 70/30 chance of successfully logging into our online banking. After you put in your credentials you’d get a “address could not be found” error. She contacted their folks and, of course, nothing is wrong on their end. So she did some research and other people have experienced the same thing. From her research she’s seen that the common denominator is… you guessed it… Windows Vista!
So; knowing that, we tried it on my installation of Fedora and I tried it with Epiphany and Firefox and BoYAH! We’re in! Just one more reason to switch from Windows to Linux. Linux can get you into online banking.
Happy Birthday to Me
May 6th
Since I don’t have a guild of authors contributing to this site… no one’s really gonna write this very EPIC entry. So; I thought I’d do it. Nothing says “vanity” like plastering “Happy Birthday” on your own blog. Well; the main point is I’m kind of doing this as my “historical documents” [Galaxy Quest reference]. Today, May 6, 2009, I am thirty years of age… and boy have I been through the wringer! It’s mainly due to my personality type… A lot has happen, good and bad, but overall I’m very happy with where I am in life and the achievements I have.

Hero Factory: The Fedora!
Apr 3rd
I followed Mathias Teugels around a bit (on Identica) and some how found myself at a Flash hero generator site; so I took some time out to create the official/unofficial Fedora Project super hero — The Fedora! I was limited in some of the tech accessories I could give him, but maybe someone from the art team will run with it.
Make your own Hero at www.cpbintegrated.com/theherofactory. Be aware that you can’t choose the hero’s name during the generation process. 
Create your hero and post a link here. I’d love to see what you come up with.

So; with every hero creation, you must have some specs or a history for your character. I will not satisfy that requirement today. Just know that he’s a heavy Linux user and his distribution of choice is… *drum roll please*… Fedora.
Whatcha’ Say!?
