(Part One is here)
Although I never get as much done as I’d like to (or even expect to), Saturday I nailed back all the moulding (i.e. base trim) in the basement. Then, yesterday, I was able to trim the bottom off three of the wooden doors and re-install them. Why is it that using the circular saw (or any power tools for that matter) always instills me with a sense of manliness? Click To Read More...

I thought I’d throw up a link to a photo album of the Schiller Clan generously hosted by Rob Russell. And now you know what my wife, children and I look like…I need to add some more pictures up there of the boys for their 10-month anniversary tomorrow.
[Editor’s Note: Rob’s photo gallery is now defunct - sorry!]
In 1946, Disney released its latest feature film, “The Song of the South“. This family film is a combination of live action and animated sequences and it depicts the story of a young white boy on a southern plantation and how Uncle Remus, an African American servant/slave, befriends the boy and teaches him valuable lessons in life through his colourful stories of Brer Rabbit, Brer Bear and Brer Fox. Since its initial release, the movie has had a tumultuous history but we may be seeing some light at the end of the tunnel. Click To Read More...
Well, I clamped my bowie knife between my teeth and dove back into the C++ game project I’m working on entitled “Ten Nights of Killing and Mayhem”. Chief among my updates of this legacy code is so that it can be played at any screen resolution (the legacy version of this game was written for DOS using Borland’s BGI libraries and only supported 320×200 at 256 colours). I haven’t done any work on it since June 2004 so I’m a little rusty and still trying to get my bearings. Click To Read More...
Well, I did it. I installed back my C++ development environment though didn’t have the balls time to work on anything yet. As a result, I thought I’d slowly ease myself back into the roiling and steamy hottub that is Software Development by giving some quick mini-reviews of some software I used in 2004 that I found to be most excellent. Thanks to Rob for the title of this blog entry. The list covers a wide range of areas and revenue models (commercial, shareware, freeware, open source), but it is mostly focused on Windows (I threw in a couple bones to the Linux/Unix people out there): Click To Read More...
We got all of our carpetting installed over the weekend after removing the tiles. They finished carpetting the stairs this morning and now the basement is starting to get cozy. Click To Read More...
