Virtualised Everything

A recent technology that I keep thinking about is virtual computing, which in my opinion could open up all sorts of really moxious opportunities.
With the advent of multiprocessor (multi-core) consumer processors, I’m wondering how far could virtual system performance be pushed. Currently there are a few solutions that are pretty fast already. A comparison page […]

Talent, Skill, and Knowledge

When hiring a chicken, is it important to ask which egg it came from, how good it is at being a chicken, or what it knows about being a chicken?

Progression in the Free World

I’m no fan of RPM, tarball, or DEB packages. Although the latter two aren’t so bad, you can’t honestly expect a normal end-user to spend more than five minutes figuring out how to install a piece of software. I know I can’t, nor can anyone I know — disregard of technical skill. It’s just a […]

An Update!

Hey kids! Who’s your daddy? Wait, don’t answer that. I’m not your therapist.
This blog could use a good update. I’m going to spare any potential readers with my mundane observations and flat commentary about random topics that nobody is interested in, except me. (Which is what really matters. Me.)

Interesting article I spotted over at OSNews, debating whether OpenSolaris makes a better operating system than Linux. In short, which of the two are […]

Kernels Simply Explained

Neat little article on OSNews on different kernel designs, written by Thom Holwerda. In the end, he concludes that “[a hybrid kernel] carries characteristics of both an ass as well as a horse, and hence it is classified as a ‘hybrid’.” So, I suppose he’s not a fan of hybrid kernels!

Games!

I love games. Not the kind where you run outside like a complete twit. No my friend, the kind where you lock yourself up in a dark room and fiddle with a machine that would irk your grandmother. Those are awesome.
Game development is an activity that soothes my raging, inner nerd. It allows me to […]

New Game Release: Tetrageddon

Yes! One of my pet game projects has been completed! It’s a bit like Pentomino, but then again that doesn’t let you smash innocent civilians into the pavement. Play it at Nosebleed, our arcade-in-the-works!
Now if you excuse me, I’ve got a to-do to, uh… Do.

This is great news. The more platforms Flash runs on, the happier I am. When I’m happy, nobody dies.
