lots of realworld stuff done: cleaned house, finished
taxes, finished fafsa, changed oil in car, fixed brakelights
in car, fixed odor in car ;-) ...
it's spring break and i'm expecting lots of progress (and
hopefully stopping points) on lots of my projects. and some
extra time to enjoy being with my family.
question. what is a good name for my software project that
does (dave winer's
idea of)
xml-rpc resource
subscription/notification? i'm at a loss. if anybody's
creative juices are flowing better than mine, it'd be super
appreciated. thanks!
here's some quick, off the cuff ideas:
- smokesignal
- csana (content subscription and notification
architecture)
argh! i can't think of anything i like... oh well. i'm
sure something will come.
after some discussion with my father-in-law about back in
the day gaming (he hadn't heard of myst), and a cool
slashdot
article regarding classic sierra games, i've had a
great time remembering my beginings in the world of
computer gaming. man oh man was it soooooo much fun back
then. gaming now makes me pine for earlier days. no crappy
"run and shoot" (tm) stuff because the hardware wouldn't do
it. there was a lot more imagination required, a greater
dependence upon the storyline. and we had to walk uphill
both ways... but in all seriousness - please god - deliver
us from doom-esqe gaming... i remeber a few years back i
played a game i *really* liked. i guess it'd be just a
prettied up incarnation of those previous sierra adventure
genre games. here's a link to the game at amazon. the
last express. if anybody has any recommendations on a
similar game, i'd love to waste some hours on it. :)
dreaming: wouldn't it be nice to play (commercial, and high
quality) games natively on linux.... :) maybe someday i'll
ditch wine and all the headaches.
gotta do stuff.
