Not much to talk about...

Posted by charlo on May 24, 2005, 11 p.m.

Still haven't gotten our computer back. I think I might write a novel detailing my harrowing ordeal. I've been without a decent computer for over 2 months. None of my GM projects are getting done, I can't play any of my games (or any other games, for that matter), and …

We got our computer back

Posted by charlo on May 14, 2005, 11 p.m.

I bet you saw the headline and thought this was good news, right?

We got our computer back yesterday after having it in repair for 3 weeks. It seemed to work fine for about 6 hours, but then it reverted back to it's old habit of shutting down randomly and …

GM for school

Posted by charlo on May 10, 2005, 11 p.m.

For our final project in social studies we can do whatever we want as long as we get it approved, about any topic we want!

I'm thinking about making a game based on the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius at Pompeii in 500 B.C. or something. But we start in two …

Computer still hasn't come!

Where the hell is my computer? We sent it in to be repaired a week and a half ago! I am getting tired of dealing with this crappy laptop. Must…get…computer…back…before…

I…use…any…more…of…these…'…'…things.

BASIC

Posted by charlo on May 1, 2005, 11 p.m.

Today instead of working on GameMaker (which runs erraticaly on my laptop) I expirimented with trueBASIC, a BASIC programming language that is identical to the language found on computers from the 80's. It was easy to figure out, but the program is buggy as hell. It also has crappy graphics …

How I wasted my Saturday

Posted by charlo on April 30, 2005, 11 p.m.

Saturday (yesterday) I had to "compete" in the state Solo+Ensemble "competition". It was a 1 1/2 hour drive there, and then I got to spend 7 hours there. Then we drove back. I hardly used the computer at all yesterday. It sucked. One good thing, I got a "1" on …

Rant

Posted by charlo on April 29, 2005, 11 p.m.

Last night I went to a movie and there were some young kids 4-6 y.o, who just would not shut up. It was hard to concentrate on the movie when there was constant high-pitched complaining behind me about not getting enough popcorn. Then came the crying. The crying went on …

Regarding my computer

Posted by charlo on April 26, 2005, 11 p.m.

We took my new (broken) computer into the computer store. Turns out there was a hard drive failure. Hopefully it will be fixed. Once it's fixed I'll be back into GM regularly and also do a bunch of stuff my crappy laptop can't handle.

I hate Compaq. Never buy from …

My Birthday II

Posted by charlo on April 23, 2005, 11 p.m.

I got an iPod mini for my birthday. I also got some other stuff, but the iPod overshadows it all. W00t.

I don't have any music on it yet, but that's because my new Compaq that I got for Christmas is being stupid. Here's the problem: it starts up, then …

My Birthday!

Posted by charlo on April 23, 2005, 11 p.m.

Today's my 15th birthday. Please note that if you didn't get me something for whatever reason you're not getting any cake. Yes, I know, it's a tragedy. But you can avoid this cruel fate by sending something to me right now.

On other news, I added my editable pac-man clone …
