Update

Haven't blogged in a while so here's the scoop.

I have lost my source to my chess program, maybe i'll find it, maybe i won't, but it doesn't matter as i've been planning to rewrite the ui from scratch, and all the under the hood stuff was heavily reliant on cocoa so needed significant work to make it portable as well.

I'm currently working on a combat clone, along with a highly portable framework for programming. right now it's making windows, setting up opengl etc, but networking is coming along nicely and when i get a license for windows or iphone or whatever i'll add a graphics api agnostic layer as well.

ycurses has languished in non update forever. i really don't have a D tool chain set up at the moment so that might continue until i get frustrated with C and hit D again. some time ago i got an offer from someone to take over maintenance of the project, i denied him, but i'm kind of regretting it. Whatever, it's MIT licensed, he can do what he wants with it.

At this current moment i'm in the middle of an epic road trip to the west coast. You can get picks at shutterfly. Shutterfly by the way looks like an awesome site. Basically free unlimited uploads, and downloads not at full resolution, but decent for printing small pics. The best part? Anyone can order prints. I think that's their business model, and i think it's awesome in theory. We'll see if my mom or anyone orders anything. I for one am going to try to get my family on it so i can get pictures of neices, nephews etc.
