  1. RT @bfeld: RT @bwyman: A Higgs-Boson walks into a church, priest says "We don't allow Higgs-Bosons in here." HB "But without me how can ...
  2. My skill at preparing steak is improving. That was rather tasty if I may say so myself.
  3. Been trying to shoehorn AI players into a thus far purely multiplayer gameserver. Slowly winning. Regretting not having a tidy I/O layer now
  4. @kyrah holy crap. I just buy prepaid SIM cards when I'm abroad for more than 2 or 3 days. There's some hassle, but no nasty surprises.
  5. RT @timoreilly: RT @gnat: finally, @justjenine found the gift for the person who has everything. http://bit.ly/1naJ5V Read the comments ...
  6. @andreasklinger @iossif http://metalab.at/wiki/Q3a
  7. @kyrah I suspected as much, but wasn't sure. Now I just need a Q3A disc and some time to practice. Can't remember last time I played an FPS.
  8. @kyrah We'll see - hope I can find the time. Also: No idea if this old MacBook with Intel GPU is up to the task. Workstation too heavy & far
  9. @kyrah you've missed out! Of course, so have I, on Q3A. Now I need to find a copy of that somewhere.
  10. The iPhone also seems much less fussy about playing back plain MPEG-4 rather than h264-encoded video.
  11. @JurieOnGames sounds cool, I'll try and keep Saturday evening free!
  12. For future reference: iPhone app splash screens (default.png) must not have an alpha channel. Works fine now.
  13. I think the iPhone is ignoring my splash screen. It's hard to tell if it's displaying it for 0 seconds or if it doesn't like it/can't see it
  14. @kyrah What about Unreal Tournament? That was released 2 days earlier!
  15. @GangMan_ I vaguely remember seeing that reported somewhere but I'll be damned if I can find it. My memory may be failing me here.
  16. @GangMan_ probably because she's pregnant.
  17. @JurieOnGames where are you speaking? I seem to have missed that.
  18. @jgrahamc I'll shut up after this, but: looks like node.js doesn't actually use green threads or whatever, so it's like browser JS. Ugly.
  19. @jgrahamc thinking about it they're not so much race conditions as a hidden transactional model. Blocking implicitly completes a transaction
  20. @jgrahamc unless you can't block at all from event handlers, in which case it makes solutions to certain types of problems rather convoluted
