Worthwhile Neglection

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

I’ve done that blogger thing. Neglected the blog.
Over a year has passed since my last entry. Looking at it now, it seems it was rather anti-climatic. That lonely entry of July 11, 2007 had it no knowledge that would be the last entry for over a year’s time. Although - it is just a blog [...]

Examination Aftermath

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

Finally, 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, 2007

A 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 [...]

Worried

Friday, April 20th, 2007

10 days without any posts… something must be wrong. Unlike one of my friends, it’s not been technical problems that have stopped me posting, but more work and personal problems that have been getting to me.
The plus of recent is that I have got my C++ assignment completed, and handed in on time, which is [...]

My First C++ Core Dump

Friday, April 6th, 2007

terminate 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, 2007

Guess 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, [...]

Survival

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

A few days ago I informed the lot of you that the crazy Welsh friend of mine, did this. For those too lazy to click the link I will explain briefly. My friend Iain went on the Otley Run. This, basically, is a pub crawl down a road by the name of (now hold onto [...]

End(ish) of January

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

Greetings 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 [...]

2006 - One Year, 12 Months

Friday, January 12th, 2007

What the hell happened in 2006 then?

January

The Real World: New Horizons, the world’s first probe to Pluto, is launched.
My World: The beginning of year approached, and with that I returned to University, still in the university’s provided accommodation. Seems so long ago now. I went out a few times… mildly drunk - no photos.

February

The Real [...]
