GameDev.net - How To Build a Game In A Week From Scratch With No Budget

Now this looks like a fun idea…. perhaps I should give it a whirl. I’m kind of missing programming, and I’d love to write a little game. Need to learn Python to follow this author’s lead, but maybe I can do it in Ruby?

In any case it looks like fun.

I had to run chkdsk on my stupid home PC and it found a boat load of errors on my C: drive. That’s why I wasn’t able to play DAOC me thinks.

Most of the errors were in C:/Mythic.

Off to Seattle in a few hours. Fun!

Lots of work to do, but I need to update these stinkin’ blogs some more.

House hearings on Katrina next week abruptly canceled

WASHINGTON (CNN) — House hearings examining the federal government’s response to Hurricane Katrina were abruptly canceled by House Republican leaders who prefer an unspecified review by a joint House-Senate panel, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said Tuesday.

Rep. Tom Davis, the chairman of the House Government Reform Committee, announced earlier in the day that his committee would begin holding hearings next week to get to the bottom of what went wrong in the aftermath of Katrina. (Posted 11:20 p.m.)

We were told the government was going to protect us, and look at New Orleans.
