My Chess Game

Reviewing my chess game:

Here is me running the game in vmware fusion

Yes, VS2005 runs nicely in unity, and when I use F5 to run... the program starts up in unity, very nice.

I need to get a few things completed on it before I go back to school

1) Networking & multiplayer over tcpip
2) prepare to have a new motion/kinetics system
3) prepare to have an ai (write eval function in script perhaps?)
4) add Xbox 360 controller Input (XInput) features.
5) change the skybox to a skydome.

Things I've accomplished on my first Weekend Home

1) Rather than reinstall osx I cleaned it
2) Reimaged my xp (Im going to be a osx/xp shop)
3) got bootcamp & vm fusion going on my xp partition (I didn't have that during school, only vmw)
4) Installed directx/vs2005/oblivion I now have only 2.5gig left on my xp partition (16 to start)
5) ran my chess game in vmware fusion (wohoo... its slow graphics refresh, but It is doable)

Welcome back sports fans

For 0.3 I want to have a patch that can do italic/bold/oblique only if the found ATSUFontID is not already an ID for a italic/bold/oblique font.

I have a patch right now that allows me to piggy back on the size matrix to apply synthetic italic/bold. The trick is going to be finding a way to NOT apply if the font doesn't need it.

Screenies

What can you do with a drunken sailor?

I went crosstown today to pickup a package from fedex. Wohhoo! a Blackberry device.

I went from having no cellphone, basic home phone to ultra-connected! Seriously, here is how my life is better for having a blackberry device.

1) gmail, send receive in a pushy way:)
2) sync to my gcal (via iCal)
3) sync my address book
4) sync memos/notes (to and from device via Stickies.app)
5) sync tasks
6) receive/send telephone calls (though I am long distance in toronto)
7) receive/send SMS
8) Blackberry PIN
9) Windows Messenger Live
10) Surf the interwebs
11) GPS my position
12) Google talk
13) tell time, set an alarm
13) do quick calculations on the calculator
14) ALWAYS ON!

i was previously using my iPod 80gig as a
sync'd calendar
sync'd contact list
sync'd notes
music player
video player
portable data
now it looks like the ipod will be a media player/portable data device, and not an organizer (its not a very good organizer).

What does the slogan always on mean to me? It means that "unless I choose to switch off, i can always keep lines of communication open."

Today was a fun day... kinda like Christmas was when I was a kid:)
