Cool Stuff The Room sets a new standard for puzzle games
Sunday, April 14, 2013 at 10:41PM I was recommended The Room this weekend, and boy am I glad I was. Well, kind of... it has set the bar of expectation so high that looking at any other games on iOS, I feel utterly bereft of alternatives now that I've completed it.
The Room is beautiful graphically and with its atmospheric music, it's a masterpiece that reminds me of the times I would play Myst 3: Exile - truly mind bending puzzles presented gorgeously and never in a way that made you feel stressed out or like time was an issue.
It was a very relaxing game, something you don't get very often anymore.

Other A new instructional journal
Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 10:32AM I've added a new Instructional journal to this blog.
As the name suggests, I aim to be posting instructional posts there - namely tutorials, how-to's etc. So I'm kicking it off with a Gist on how to rotate "The Internet" (or more accurately, your target computer's Web).
I originally put it together as a prank for April Fools, but ultimately decided against using it as not everyone would get the joke. It serves best as a good way to learn how to use Ettercap, which I think has a very frustrating filter language.

Website Goodbye Google Code, Hello Github
Saturday, March 30, 2013 at 4:12PM I've moved all of my open-source projects to GitHub now. I've had quite a few dangling over at Google Code for a while, mostly projects I did during College or just after it, which for one reason or other were forgotten and left where they were.
Their new home on GitHub doesn't mean I'll maintain them any more than I did before - some are purely experimental, others are just fun (a Javascript Binary Clock!) but it does coincide with a lot more intense focus which I've given to GitHub and open-sourcing my projects in general.
