I haven't touched this site in quite a while now. It's about time I update to reflect current reality a little better.

First change, I'm adding a link to my github account. That's where my current projects are most visible.
https://github.com/trezker/

Then I'm gonna go over various parts and make sure they are in working order.

Mr BAF has decided to optimize his stuff. One of these optimizings happens to be shutting down bafserv.net. This means my site will soon disappear from bafserv.net and reappear on bafsoft.net.

So if everything happens according to the current plan the new address will be http://trezker.bafsoft.net

I got struck by the pixel artist itch.
Can you spot the five differences?

Well, more like minor contributor. It's only one feature and I don't have commit privilege on the svn. But I have been thinking of doing something in the Allegro source code so many times over the years and I finally did it.

Here's the revision where I make my first mark in the history of Allegro.

So what did I change, and why?

Hey! It's been one month now, about 99% success. I've only had a few incidents where I bit some nail off, and each time it was isolated to a single bite off.

This is amazing, I'm actually using a nailclipper for my finger nails. A tool I can only remember using for my toenails. I have weak memories of my mother clipping my fingernails when I was really young, but I have no idea if I ever clipped my own fingernails...

I've recently removed pulseaudio from my Ubuntu installation. It didn't work properly with multiple applications and I don't think it's quite ready for use yet. I wonder why the Ubuntu devs decided it was a good idea to push it on us.

Anyway, it can be removed and so I did. I've been running ALSA for a while now, I think, I'm not too sure because I only followed random forum threads when I removed pulseaudio...

I just read a post on how to deal with mean comments at the fluentself blog which I discovered today. http://www.fluentself.com/blog/biggification/blogging-therapy-mean-comme...

My thoughts on this is that you don't have to deal with it at all. The internet is all about anarchy and freedom and I love that. Let people be themselves and thank them for speaking their mind.

It’s really important (and hard) to remember that it’s not about you. Actually, it’s never about you.

Yesterday I stopped biting my nails. I just stumbled on a forum post about nail biting and started thinking about it a little, then I decided I'd do pushups every time I nibbled. There was nothing special about that forum post and I'm not convinced this is a lasting change. But just in case this turns out to be a historic event I thought I'd write it down so I can look up when it happened...

Let's see if I can stick with this for the rest of the year.

There hasn't been much of anything important in my life lately, the programming has been collecting dust and so have I... For quite some time now my life has been rather depressing, my will to do stuff has escaped me.

But now something awesome happened. A few days ago I started playing Go against the famous bot GnuGo after a long hiatus. Before the hiatus I had beaten him in even games a number of times and felt it was time to up the challenge, but when I couldn't beat him at two stones I lost the will to play.

The Monday project has been in development for some time now and it's going rather well in my subjective opinion. Despite having a lead programmer that plays Regnum Online and does other things all the time. It doesn't develop fast, but it never stands still either.

Today I wish to write down my experience with integrating Lua in a C++ project. This is something that I have tried a few times before and I always failed. But this time I broke through the difficulties and so far it all works beautifully.
