Examination Aftermath
Sunday, May 20th, 2007Finally, all my exams are over and I so far I have received one out of three results, that result being a pass. Obviously, I’m pleased and am relatively confident in passing my C++ exam, whilst my assembly test and exam is am somewhat more doubtful about. Luckily if all goes to plan however, [...]
DOTA, Version 0.01 - The “HARDEST GAME EVER” Release
Sunday, May 6th, 2007A little project I started, mainly to help with my C++ revision. It is basically the beginning of a small retro-style adventure game. Note that at its current stage of development it is little more than 2 very plain rooms I used for testing (see the readme file for more information). I’m distributing this code [...]
My First C++ Core Dump
Friday, April 6th, 2007terminate called after throwing an instance of ’std::out_of_range’
what(): vector::_M_range_check
Aborted (core dumped)
And what a beautiful thing it is too. Stupid me tried to access memory out of bounds of my vector. I love how it states ‘what()’ as if mocking my intelligent. Damn the compiler and damn its smugness.
Made My Day
Monday, April 2nd, 2007Guess what made my day today?
divineomega@crystal:~/University/Semester 2/C++/Assignment/Code$ c++ main.cpp
divineomega@crystal:~/University/Semester 2/C++/Assignment/Code$
Woohoo! Those two lines alone are just so satisfying…
And myString.c_str() is just a beautiful function even if it is a bit of a hack. It does the job wonderfully. Slowly, C++ is being fought into the ground.
Note for non-programmers: I have not gone insane, [...]
Java - Hated By Professionals
Tuesday, February 6th, 2007To prove to all the non-believers, here are some semi-professional projects which the ‘destroyer of souls’ language. Note the colourful language in the comments. All code samples were found online using Google Code Search. Engage the profanity…

The WiiBot
Sunday, February 4th, 2007The WiiBot - a “sword-wielding, tennis-playing, WiiMote-controlled, friendly robot” and an amazing geek project. The web page about this project contains more information about how the project was made, the software that controlled it and the industrial robot that was used.
End(ish) of January
Thursday, January 25th, 2007Greetings folks.
The good news… major site updates. The bad news - I doubt you noticed this. I say this not to mock you but simply to state a fact (apologies go out to those of you who are actually stupid, in which case, I mock you). All site changes have been internal and make the [...]
I’m a programmer and I’m half okay…
Monday, July 10th, 2006Oh, I am a C programmer and I’m okay.
I muck with indices and structs all day,
And when it works, I shout hoo-ray.
Oh, I am a C programmer and I’m okay.
Oh, I am a Java programmer and I’m not okay.
I type ‘javac’ and then I wait and pray;
So damn slow, only works well on a Cray.
Oh, [...]
Introduction to Security Technologies
Monday, April 24th, 2006I’ve just satisfactorily, in my eyes, completed a report on ‘Network & Operating Systems Security’ totally an uber 2489 words spanning 10 pages. The word limit is 2500 words so I think 11 words off is pretty damn good. A loud “Argh” goes to John, who actually managed to hit 2500 words on the dot! [...]
