GiaD 2009, a road-trip, dmb2exe and IM Woes
Well, I got back from my week long road-trip a few hours ago expecting to see GiaD 2009 results announced, but to my shock: they weren't. D:
Don't call me a fool for it, but I thought perhaps this year GiaD might be cooler than the past GiaDs and judge its entries in a much smaller amount of time. :(
All moaning and whining aside, it was a nice change to be able to program spaghetti like you've never programmed spaghetti before. It was quite fun, actually. Cleanliness and readability be damned, I needed to get that game finished in a 24 hour time-frame and I also had to sleep/eat/toilet/watchtv/etc. in the same time frame too. :O
Quite a nice experience, thank you Iain for hosting such a wonderful contest. I hope my entry gets a nice rank, although the code is more ragged and dirty than a hobo's loin-cloth on a Saturday morning and has more bugs than a hobo's hair on a Monday morning.
My entry is about a Turtle named Turtl, who is mortally wounded in battle with evil, zombie computers, then has his limbs and organs replaced with robotic ones. He then uses his newly attained robotic limbs and skills to stop the evil, zombie computers and assorted monsters from taking over the world. Reminds me of inspector gadget. :O
I would release Turtl, but first I'm going to debug it to perfection. Also, expect a sequel!
Any-who, to discuss the other subjects of this post.

Good night, and Good luck to you all when you're trying to make sense of my post. :)

dmb2exe:
A very strange shell() problem has struck dmb2exe that I'm unable to figure out the cause of. Upon running a certain shell() command( The very same shell command that actually MAKES the farking exe, just my luck ), shell() silently fails.
I am rather sure that it has something to do with this gem of a bug report, although it's not a bug. I'll have to look into changing dmb2exe to follow the instructions Tom gives in that Bug Report tomorrow, because right now I plan on depleting my energy on submitting this post, shutting down the computer, and sleeping. It's 4 AM. Every average insomniac has to try to sleep some time.

IM Woes:
If you take a look to the right you'll see that Pmitch left me a comment to IM him on MSN ASAP. I'd like to do that, because I'm a curious person, but hey! Guess what! Curiosity bites. Iran blocks MSN Messenger and sites like E-Buddy which allow you to use MSN Messenger using a web-based client. I can use AIM though! And GoogleTalk!
Perhaps I should put this bit of info in my little member info box to the right...yeah, I'll do that right after I submit this post. I'll let everyone know I can't use MSN so anyone deciding to IM me can get AIM, Google Talk, or shrivel up and cry in a corner because they can't IM me otherwise.
