Because heck, I need to brush up on all the lost time when I switched to Windows development for almost 8 months. Visual Studio, sad to say, I never really missed you. Not even a teeny tiny bit.

is like a bus with square wheels. it’s stupid, and it won’t work.

we’re running into 3 days into the new office and we’re still unhooked into the internet. basically we’re sitting ducks reading documents and doing everything offline, which is a real YEAH right since most of our work is done via the network.

screw PLDT talaga.

sometimes automation of too much tasks can be almost a nuisance. take for example team explorer and source code explorer. for this whole day, for 2 bugs, i have been downloading a particular version over at our server, and me being a know-it-all chose “get specific” and proceeded to download the missing files.

after 1 ice tea, 1 menthol light and 30 minutes later, it found 8568 conflicts. it was 1:30 pm i had no choice but to resolve the conflicts by overwriting them.

one. by. one.

it’s oh 4:46pm, and im halfway done.

ARGH!

i am loathing visual studio, but just for today.

most of the time. it’s kind to me.

i transport myself a couple of months ago in my Linux work environment. a packge would contain all modules with one makefile. each module has its own makefile called by the head makefile and everything runs smoothly from there.

i warp back to the present and here i am struggling and juggling 5 visual studio 2005 instances on two lcd monitors wondering what to do with the missing .dll problem.

a particular .DLL had two dependent .dlls that i was able to find and copied over to the bin folder. it was not enough when the software was still complaining of the .dll not being able to open.

i already tried asking my co-member for the .dlls and it doesn’t seem to work. now i cleaned the package and restarted to build once again and waiting for kingdom come to happen.

i like how everything works well but hate it with great passion when something fails. because its an epic fail of massive proportions…blah!

and now here i am compiling around XX thousand lines of code for like the nth time today.

*sigh* sometimes i wish i just became a barista.

with today’s fast everything, fast food, fast car, fast faster, comes a handy way of updating your life with friends. long entries are so year 2002.

to me, i like updating blogs but have the tendency to drift away from the topic most of the time, or forget about writing completely.

but with things like twitter and plurk. there’s no need for the ridiculously long blogspot full or sordid emo-ness.

whats the difference? depends on your fancy. twitter has more of  a clean and very minimal layout. plurk sort of is a melting pot of updates in a right to left timeline.

the only reason i like twitter because it can be accompanied by loudtwitter for shipment of tweets to your blog. plus i can tweet normally without the overwhelming updtes of friends like plurk.

but for the more sociable person and who has a lot of friends, plurk might be a good tool for you guys, since each plurk can be plurked and plurked more, it’s a melting pot of insults, jokes, laughs, ideas and of course plurks. so i think i might stick to twitter, put out the “p” in plurk for friends, and think about using the python script for the tweet <-> plurk mania in case things get too dual core.

but hey i leave the deciding factor up to you.

off to check some plurks.

which regards to RTS, only one game is indeed a favorite, Warcraft 3, I was never a true blue geek, and hence the not so enthusiasm with regards to anything sci-fi gaming.

it was a boring afternoon, or evening, after the sudden hype of starcraft headed into a trial gameplay over at the hamachi network. b41 and i, both gamers, computer scientists, and software developers, proceeded in setting up a virtual network to simulate LAN gaming over the intarweb.

our instinct has failed us, and we lacked a certain component to make the game work.  a precise version of hamachi (specifically Hamachi 1.0.1.1 ) over at the OldVersion site.  plus an upgrade for the starcraft patch that was not needed since b41 already setup that for me when he borrow my laptop for the starcraft game night.

thanks to m9dhatter for the tip.

what is my point? this was a game i never ventured since i was around 13 or 14? the only thing i remembered last was a bunch of terran marines and i have to make them survive running around some disintegrated base of sorts.

i never went back until now.

so my first ever game consisted of me, m9dhatter, 1 random computer, in the big game hunters map. apparently this map is pretty much famous for skirmish. he was protoss, i was terran, and i went to a bad start or doing the following : reading descriptions, finding the advance structures and was butchered during a rush, and making a dash of army that was laughable next to m9d’s growing team of protoss units (i still don’t know what they are called).

anyway. after that fateful game, i decided to read up on my terran units. and slowly started to try my new sk00l stuff to old sk00l.

but to my dismay. the smoothless of new techniques did not match a game that has been there for a decade. the multiple controlled barracks was a no-no. there was no upkeep so you can train until kingdom come, and with this hamster/rabbit like unit creation there was this questioning need to group same ordered structures into neat little numbered groupings. the miscalculation of build had my marine troops running around in all directions, my siege tanks blocking the path because they cant get out and me looking at them, dumbfounded.

yes, you can say, starcraft pwnd me. big time. it was an epic fail in my gaming history. and maybe i should stick to RPG on the console.

but never you mind. it was fun. and when you get it right. the rewards are tremendously satisfying.

plus, i’m always bored.

I already have around hundred blogs only two of the hundred so are semi-alive. I wonder why am I bothering on doing another geek blog when my old one sort of just died along when my first module died.

I guess being in a new work seems to be more exciting than doing my old work that was basically as appealing as a sweet valley book read hundreds of times. It gives a certain diminishing satisfaction.

But what made my lost of taste for writing is I guess it was always about the same thing. This time I hope it’s different, and I should be able to hold up in writing what makes my logical mind tick. From gaming to work. Or just about anything geeky along the lines of technology.

Here’s to yet new unfinished beginnings. The only problem with me is that I never want things to end. I like leaving it like a beautiful memory that never ever fades.

I guess I have to grow up.

This blog is all about my love for anything that I can break apart and reassemble. Except photography because that goes along the lines of art.
