$a is insufficient. $thevar is just lame.
Over the last month I have been spending time out of my day to watch some of the web casted classes that are being offered by UC Berkeley and my eyes have been opened. I am indeed a programmer and know where my calling is. That said, I had a recent epiphany when one of the instructors said something oddly influential.
“When you feel like putting in one of those single lined comments, that’s usually when you should be thinking about rewriting your code.”
I couldn’t agree more.

My Eye
I am supposed to take a self portrait every day for my photgraphy class. This is the lastest one i have taken.
I used a macro filter on the end of my 18-55 mm lense. For lighting i used a large mag light diffused with a sheet of printer paper. Since u have to take this self portrait every day, you have to think of different ways of doing it…

Homing pigeons?
scientists in china have planted electrodes in pigeons brains that can control where they fly! I find this extremely fascinating, and cant wait to get my own remote control pigeon kit.

Photography
Recently i purchased a digital camera for my Photography class. I LOVE this camera! Mostly becuase i have never had a digital slr before, only used my step moms who is a photographer. I am going to start an online portfolio and upload some of the pictures as i go through this class. I am making no claims to any greatness, im just a beginner, but maybe my photographs can inspire some of you to pick up a camera and see what you can capture!
more to come.

taking Care of Business…
Over the weekend I got in contact with someone who had used my OBJ -> SMD converter and had found a bug. The issue was pretty easy to fix, so I took some time to fix it. It was pretty straight forward, and has been attached, below.
Gneu Manager
The last week of development of our project manager has been slow. Being tied up in other things has definitely impacted my progress, but for the most part, I’ve just been unmotivated. Today we talk about why that has changed.

Updates - All around
Hello, Hello, Hello!
I have been working, slaving, on too many things, but here are the updates that are pertinent.
I quit WAW. The lead and I had a difference in opinion at how something should have been handled and well, I choose the other road. Leaving WAW threw me to the whales and since then I’ve been kicking the utter shit out of the to-do listing I built up on Google. The great thing is that I am feeling great. I am finally sleeping again, after nearly two months of intermittent bouts with insomnia, although I owe that to Advil PM and Benadryl, thank the all powerful being who developed that.

Letter to the HL2 Mod Community
I began modding Source in January of 2005. I spent just about every day of the next two years doing everything in my power, free time permitting, to help the amateur modders get accustomed to the drama and pure unadulterated bullshit that was lurking just out of their sight. I was there when the community came together and I have been here watching it dwindle into the dark corner of the room that no one dares look. There is no doubt in my mind that the Source Engine is feeling under used, under appreciated and sad. More shocking to me, even though I have more than devoted two years of my life to it, a dark portion of my heart is very glad to see it as such.

Managers for my managers…
I have great news, and it blew my mind when I realized how well it worked. In order to explain I will have to convey reason behind my development over the last 2 weeks. To those who don’t know, I have been spear heading an open source project called GneuManager, a project management suite that beings new meaning to modular. The last two weeks I have been putting the finishing touches on the interaction and caching on the back end of the application, let me explain…
