Archery Blog 4

I'm starting to get better at this concept of firing a non-explosive missile via wood and string with intensive projection calculations into non-moving targets and then pursuing the target to retrieve the reusable non-explosive missile fired via wood and string. Blah. …

So today was my third time at the archery range since I started this new hobby and I accomplished a few things. Both good and bad.

First with the bad. I broke my first arrow. =( Arrows are not cheap at all. In USD each arrow can range from $7-$15 …

So, more fun with archery. Yesterday I was back on the range bright and early in the morning. It was more of a work out than anything. Felt pretty good going to work afterwards. As of today though, my drawing arm and elbow has a slight pain. I'm starting to …

Today I went to the Archery range at my local Bass Pro Shop's Outdoor World and shot with my traditional recurve bow for the first time. I spent about an hour shooting targets. Didn't do too bad for my first time. For the most part, my shots were within 6-8 …

Investing in Myself

In order to better myself and prepare for a project I've been working on-and-off with for awhile, I've decided to do several things that should prove to be beneficial. I mentioned earlier in the summer that I'm going to try to learn C#. Still working on that. Aside from this …

Do you read a lot?

Posted by Glen on July 3, 2012, 4:20 p.m.

I like to read science fiction novels and the like from time to time. I recently started reading a book called "Spirit Gate" by Kate Elliot. First book of a four book series. Within twenty pages of the book I had figured out the situation the main characters are in …

GM:Studio

Posted by Glen on May 31, 2012, 2:02 p.m.

So, I bought GM:Studio the other day and I was trying to convert some examples and little projects over to see if there were any speed improvements. But this brought up a pretty big issue. No DLL support? Really? We have to deal with everything that's built into GM if …
