We got a new kitten. His name is Sam. Which means we now have Sam and Max. If you didn’t get the reference, you haven’t played enough early 1990s Lucasarts adventure games yet.
Anyways, here are some pictures of Sam.

How not to drive a bus. A bus driver from Ontario hit a 9 foot 6 inch overpass with his 13 foot tall bus yesterday. NOT RECOMMENDED. No one was killed, but a child was hurt and an adult went into cardiac arrest. Photo from Newsday
life goes on.
working for too little.
things & stuff.
We are very sad right now. On Saturday Oliver, our big white fat deaf lovable cat, we took him to the vet and he didn’t come home. He was only three years old. Both Sandy and I are torn up inside over it. For those of you not following, Oliver had feline hyperestesia. It had gotten to the point where the medication wasn’t helping him any more and the other cats were getting more agitated and angry at him. We finally realized that he was incurable and either on or off the drugs, he wasn’t the same cat anymore. I’ve been feeling a lot of grief and pain, and Sandy about a million times more than I.
I know that he was really happy with us though, and that makes all the difference. We took him when no one else would and poured our love and our hearts into him. I’ll never have another cat like him.
I think that right now, he’s lazing it up just like the photo. That happy sleepy cat.
I think we all heard that GTA San Andreas came out the other day, but so did GTA Advance! Since I do the vast majority of my gaming on my GBA SP this was much more exciting for me.
GTA Advance somehow manages to keep the same feel as the original GTA, but scaled down to 240×160. The cars might look chunky but the feel makes up for it – things like the feel of the steering, the view zooming out when you accelerate, they all have that GTA feel.
So just when a decent portable version of GTA comes out, I run acrossGrand Theftendo, where some crazy guy has developed a homebrew NES (yes, 8-bit) game encompassing the entire first city of GTAIII – with hand-drawn pixel graphics. Mmmmmm… pixels.
This problem has been driving me nuts all day.
I have a list. Each item in this list has a sequence value, starting from 1.
I have a form to change the sequence of the items in the list. You can type in the sequence number to set it.
So, coming into my script I have the following data:
Unique ID | Old Seq | New Seq |
---|---|---|
foo | 1 | 1 |
bar | 2 | 5 |
baz | 3 | 3 |
qux | 4 | 4 |
quuux | 5 | 5 |
shazbot | 6 | 6 |
So, bar needs to go from 2 to 5, and all other values between 2 and 5 need to be renumbered. Why can’t I solve this frickin’ problem?
Today I found out that one of my classmates from UTS, Anthony Chan, passed away suddenly on Monday.
Today’s Penny Arcade is a must for anyone who watches Lost on ABC.
CBC News: Backlog at border delaying international mail: Canada Post – I am waiting for two packages because Canada Customs is too friggin’ slow!
Been busy. Just remembered that I have a website.
Sandy and I have been watching Alias on DVD. We’re hooked. It’s an excellent excellent show. We’re almost done watching season 1 and I don’t think I’ve seen a bad episode (except for the clip show).
Tonight we’re going to see Team America: World Police. Can’t wait.
Listening to Cake’s new album, Pressure Chief. It’s good. I like the first track, Wheels.
I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night so I’m going to have a nap now.
