ugh.

I've been playing with NES programming as well as some electronics stuff, nothing to write home to mom about yet.

from the omg not another one dept.
I violently blindsided by the movie.
I am not a trekkie. I have not seen all the movies, nor even half of the episodes of any particular make/model. I have seen the first 6 original cast movies and a few others, and enjoyed them. I don't watch much TV but i might watch an original cast episode were it on. Regarding this movie, my expectations were not high. I had heard about the cast:
Simon Pegg (whom i love, (shaun of the dead, etc)) as scotty. Winona Rider as spock's mother. Jennifer Morrison (Cameron from House) as Kirk's mother. John Cho (harold and kumar minus kumar) as sulu. A bunch of no-names for main characters. (Eomer from LOTR as McCoy). Eric Bana as the bad guy (the new incredible hulk disaster).
Based on the cast, i wasn't excited. I didn't know if they were gonna take the movie seriously. I almost expected a half-spoof movie.
I was wrong. :) The movie was exceptional. Phenomenal, based on my expectations. highly recommended.

from the ugly-website-with-ads-on-it dept.
Myspace uhg. bad things about darin's:
- Ads
- Background Music- Simply not kosher, even if it's good music. means you get fired at work, maybe.
- Background Image - not horrible... but yellow text on top ... with no way to read it... someone shouldn't have to highlight your text to be able to read it.
at least he showed some initiative.

From the wasted too much time on this already dept.
Okay ... in Counterstrike on our server, there is a command to see your current "rank" ... which is a rudimentary thing.
Rank Value = Kills - Deaths
Efficiency = Kills / (Kills + Deaths)
Playtime = Kills + Deaths
This graph shows the rank value of any player based on play time and efficiency.However... this is bad ... because if you're a slightly below .5 efficient player, as most are, the longer you play, the worse your rank is. In effect, you're ranked twice as badly if you play twice as long. We'd like to encourage everyone to play with a long duration.
So... I examined what would happen if we changed the rank to 2*Kills - Deaths, and then 3*Kills - Deaths.
Red: Original scoring, green break even at 0.5
Blue: 2xKills scoring, magenta break even around 0.33
Cyan: 3xKills scoring, brown break even around 0.25
While none of these methods eliminate the problem, I'd reckon that a <.25 efficient person wouldn't be so far from the correct location.
This shows the 2xKills - Deaths scoring.

From the department of interior (of my engine parts falling out)
Friday, December 15th, 2005, marks the occasion of the death of my project car. Driving down State Road 50 (a four lane divided highway), near orlando, A red 04 ford pickup pulls out in front of my baby, and ends the project. While no one was permanently injured, i had some nice seat belt brusies and a very sore neck on Saturday. The toyota, on the other hand, didn't do so well. Pictures

From the is that water supposed to look like milk dept.
Got my pool pump back, and installed today. It's quieter than ever; I had the bearings changed. Hopefully I'll get my pool cleaned finally, for the first time since the hurricane. I'll be stocked up on at least *chlorine* for next hurricane season. After Jeanne ... it took a few weeks to be able to buy chlorine. :D Having a broken pump and a pool filled with hurricane blown leaves makes things worse.
-
From the footloose and fancy-free dept.
AfterStep is developing rapidly these days. We've even got an operating system on a cd that you can boot without bothering your existing systems. That's available here. Just download and burn it. :D
2.00.05 is right around the corner. Here's a screenshot I took of it at work. I'm running asdsl in vmware, running on a big wide AfterStep on my desktop.
-
From the hope it holds until payday dept.
Well... my baby's leaking a *lot* of oil these days... I'm thinking somewhere in the realm of a quart every 240 miles.
On the plus side, I'm developing a good habit of checking the mile before any outing. That can't hurt!
-
From the not getting any work done dept...
- Counterstrike. Yes, still, but not enjoying it much anymore.
- WSOP Deluxe Poker Tournament: 5 year old game. I placed #33 of 200+ in the last tourney I was in.
- Freelancer: space rpg, broke it out again.
-
From the oh look, yet another psycho dept.
Ed, a great friend of mine, discovered a website promoting some horrific things, based on misinterpretations of the bible. He feels very strongly about it, you might too. It's advocating Child Abuse. Please blog or link to it on your websites, referring to it as Child Abuse.

From the getting stuff done dept.
Now, upgraded myself to a Systems Administrator slot at UCF's Computer Science school. So far, things are going great, and they're only getting better. I'm doing alright, getting good grades, ...
Cheezy songs aside, loving my workstation, but the commute is pretty severe at a good hour, with few delays. Last night, I missed *two* exits. One, was even for Palm Bay Road!

From the Dept. of Drift
Dad, Darin and I bled the clutch lines and returned the corolla to driveable status. The battery was long since dead, (since hurricane Jeanne), and took some effort to start, but she did, Christmas Day even.
She's still dead... but I'll be dealing with that soon. Three remaining issues, though. I've got an untrustworthy security system, (read that as so secure sometimes it stops working while driving. :D) I've got a leaky pinion seal on my LSD, and I don't have tools to change the tires, as they've got secure lugs and nice wheels. And I guess four would be I need it tagged.
-
From the not getting any work done dept...
- Counterstrike. Yes, still, and I actually had a good night last night.
- NFSU2: xmas present. still fun.
- Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal: this game rules still.

I patched mold, and now the event system works as it should... it's pretty nice now... smooth sailing as far as I can see at this point.
-
still haven't gotten this thing licensed, because i had a clutch hose break on me... i've almost got it replaced... missing a couple of wrenches to complete it.

I've purchased a 1985 Toyota Corolla SR5, which has been converted to GTS specs. I've got an engine upgrade to the 4A-GE engine, sports clutch, 4 wheel disk brakes, nice wheels, MAP sensor, Limited-Slip Differential. It's very fun to drive. Pictures here.

Believe it or not, I've started working on MoLD again. I'm still designing at this point... I think I'll get it all going this time. I've decided that I need to have a fully OO system, and I've spec'd out all the pieces I was talking about to VALIS at defcon last year... I just need to get the MoLD specific parts designed... then I can do my recode, which shouldn't be overly difficult. A lot of pieces won't need changed.

Primarily, I just got a new job as a cashier at Sterling Casino. It's a cruise ship, and a fun job. It just doesn't pay well.

Well... I've not played much in the way of games recently... more counterstrike than anything... and that's because I'm fixing my realtor's p4. :D Things I've played with:
- Railroad Tycoon 3
appears to be the obvious transition from rrt2, which is a fully 3d environment. it's nice that you can lock the camera on the train and follow it to destination... seems like track building is a bit easier, yet a bit more difficult to get do do what you want.
- Pontifex IIplayed it very briefly... need to buy this game... it's got some very cool features now.
- Dungeon Master III'm got back to the point last night where I stopped playing it before... well almost... it's actually not very long of a game. :D

I'm putting this in the health section, rather than games. I've recently played a good amount of an arcade game called Initial D, a mountain racing game full of hairpin turns and general crazy driving. In the process of doing so, I've screwed up my right shoulder. It hurts in various positions, but not during casual use.
A funny thing happened last saturday... I was driving on the interstate, which happened to be bone dry... and I took an exit to go pick up a classmate I was carpooling with. The exit ramp was wet as hell. As soon as I hit my brakes, I was hydroplaning, 45 degrees right of where I should have been, at probably close to 70mph. My Initial D© skills kicked in, and I instinctively countersteered, and I did it with only about 6 inches too much correction, on the first time I've drifted a FF drivetrain car, first time I've drifted in real life, first time it wasn't planned. :D
Video games saved my life!

Okay... so beta 3 isn't news, but I'm still working on stuff related to it. I was working on a fink package for 2.0beta3 yesterday a bit. fink is more or less a debian release for Mac OS X, which I'm really enjoying. TCO is probably too expensive yet, since upgrades all cost you, but it's not too bad. The hardware is pricy too. But I'm really enjoying it. Back to AfterStep. I got AfterStep 2.0 beta 3 running on AppleX11 on Mac OS X 10.3. It's pretty nice. I think I put a screenshot here.

Thought someone might care for a mold update. I've not been programming on mold directly, this is true. If you look at my cvs statistics, you might even think mold is dead. This is far from the truth. I've been working on a multitude of other OO perl projects, including a universal rpg system. What mold will probably get out of it, is quite a few modules directly taken, (gotta love OO), and also a new paradigm of how to implement game "rules" such as physics and such. I still think about mold quite a bit. When the code starts flowing into mold again, i expect it to be vast and of good quality. :D
