The following are a bunch of notes and numbers. I am gauging the performance of various devices reading from and writing to their memories. ...

A random collection of notes from Today’s science experiments. ...

More notes. Sorry. 🙂 ...

As of September 29th 2015, a bunch of notes on the specific bargain VPS hosts. This is mainly a feature-set comparison, but also includes some interoperability notes. ...

After some friends were ranting about Boost on twitter, I decided to do something about the single Boost dependency in my game code… but not the usual thing (rewriting it). I’ve been using Boost’s operators.hpp for nearly a decade, because it actually makes writing operator code cleaner. Alas, my trimmed down subset of Boost was bringing nearly 60 source files with it, just for one file. That’s dumb. Thus, Boost without Bullshit was born:...

This was a bit of a shower thought, but until this I didn’t have a good reason to choose UTF-16 for anything. UTF-8 makes a lot of sense. It has all the benefits of ASCII text formatting, and the ability to support additional characters above and beyond the ASCII 127 or 254. It’s very similar to ASCII, you just have to be careful with your null and extended codes. No arguments here....

Added support for Tail Commas on the LAST LINES of Arrays and Objects The benefits of comments in JSON should be obvious, but Tail Commas are quite the nicety....

I’m in the middle of… well… an insane amount of stuff. The WordPress update botched my layout (forgot to copy the default theme), so I decided to break it even more. 🙂 I’ll be writing up a full feature/retrospective for Ludum Dare 15 likely today. Results are up, and we’ve got some bragging to do. 🙂 I also have a big announcement to make soon (in a few weeks, month or so)....

Sent off my draft over the weekend. Since then, I’ve been up to some biz stuff. Buying ad space on a few iPhone websites. I’m not sure it’s helping just yet, but hey, more exposure is more exposure. 🙂 148 Apps, Slide to Play, and one more site which I wont say because I paid for CPM (number of impressions as opposed to time). 😉 Last night and today I’ve been working at designing some business cards for myself....
