Corrections, omissions, new phase

26-Jul-10

“Corrections” #1 To be fair to Apple, the mail app lets you delete without opening the email. I accidentally found that if swipe across an email subject line, it gives you an option to delete. That is a great feature! Oddly, it doesn’t always work. Sometimes it just marks it as read or does nothing [...]

OpenSSH and the iTouch

20-Jul-10

I’m one of those in the minority of ‘unlocking but staying legal’ category. I can certainly download every app ever made for the itouch illegally, but I’m not going to do that. I don’t say this to toot my horn but to note an interesting problem I ran into this morning. Dungeon Hunter went from [...]

Killed it

19-Jul-10

That’s what we did this weekend. Totally and utterly trashed the daylights out of this weekend. I finally relented and called in the cavalry. While Michael and I have a pleasantness about the tasks laid before us, we don’t work nearly as quickly as my dad and uncles. All of them were brought up as [...]

Reviews 2x

12-Jul-10

It’s all about the iTouch these days. The thing that makes it so easy to finish games on this is the power button. Emulators have save states, but I can simply hit power and the game pauses right where I left it. Once I realized that, I stopped dumping money into consoles and started putting [...]

What do you read?

08-Jul-10

I have no idea what compels you to visit, but I’m glad you came. Now I’m morbidly curious: what else do you read? What other sites do you visit? Share and share alike. Here are the blogs I regularly check; list your favorites in the comments so we can all goof off at work! Scouting [...]

GTA: CW review

05-Jul-10

GTA: Chinatown Wars first found life on the Nintendo DS. GTA:CW is largely considered one of the first (only?) ‘adult’ games on the DS. Titles such as these find themselves by and large on the PSP, Sony’s DS rival. GTA: CW harkens back to its 2D roots; instead of a full 3D game, it opts [...]

Two miles and running

02-Jul-10

These are the summers of my childhood. The weather is ridiculously nice. It was ‘open the window’ type of weather. It was run outside weather. And I did. In fairness, Lisa had to put a foot in my backside because up until last night I’ve been extremely lax about training. I hit the two mile [...]

Review: Bushido Blade (PSOne)

01-Jul-10

Bushido Blade is a weird game. Made by Squaresoft (of the final fantasy fame), Bushido Blade is a fighting game with a catch: there’s no power bar. One hit can kill. The story isn’t important (oddly, given Square’s usual strengths). You can select from a number of samurai, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, [...]
