Turning the Page in a Developer’s Life

I’ve decided I really need to move away from Java programming (which I am now, in my opinion, thoroughly learned enough in at this point) and move into C/C++ programming. I’ve started with a little OSS Linux project meant to compete with RPG Maker XP. It’s going to be an interesting dive: I’ll be submerged into music, tileset-based graphics, and other such things all at once.

Will I survive? Time will tell!

Unofficial Ubuntu Assistance: #uua

I’ve written a nice little IRC bot for #uua (a new idea I’ve had, more on that in a later post) but I can’t host it, and it’s insanely expensive to host it elsewhere. What’s a computer user to do about that?…

Last.fm: Not What I Expected

I’ve always considered last.fm to be more… well… social. You get together with your buddies, and talk about music, and try different tracks. Well, it turns out to be as good, if not better than Pandora. Not only can you listen to music in more locations outside your browser, but its formula seems to work better.

So, just for reference, here’s my profile link. Nothing spectacular yet, as I’ve only just begun listening today.
