Burnt out
It has been two weeks since the beginning of the new semester. Slade is not feeling that well again. Last weekend he was down with a indigestion-induced illness. This weekend he is in a near-flu state. However, after some rest he is looking much healthier. Everytime he look starts Flash he gets this sleepy!
The presentation for the bouncing ball simulation is on Monday (less than one full day from now), and he has not done much yet. Everytime he starts Flash, he falls alseep. I am going to force him or if possible, take over his body and start doing his assignment!
Slade: You gotta pace yourself! Allow one full day during the weekend for rest. ¶ 11:49 AM 0 comments

New DirectX 9.0 Update
Microsoft did it again! They updated their latest DirectX 9.0 API. For fellow 3D developers out there, the SDK is now called Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK Update (June 2005). Luckily all my old programs still compile. You just have update your $include and $bin paths. If you are using Microsoft VS.NET 2001-2003 then they will do it automatically for you. I am not sure if you have to uninstall previous version of the SDK, but that is what I did before installing this new update - just in case. You can download it from MSDN DirectX Web.
Speaking of Microsoft, they are closing in on a deal with some Hollywood studio to make a movie based on their superhot game franchise, Halo. Normally game->movies by Hollywood sucks, but judging from Halo 1, Halo 2 and the three novels spawned out of the Halo universe - this one if it is ever produced, could be an exception. Speaking of game-cum-movies, where is Deus Ex: The Movie? ¶ 6:39 AM 0 comments

Wiki
Memories of the Game Showcase 2004/2005 returned to haunt the mind of Slade. He was concern about he state of the local game industry's future, and also for his fellow coursemates and himself too. So Key and I thought of helping him, and we setup a new Wiki for existing SEGD students and especially the upcoming batch of students.
