I've been working on Gordon #3. I should have already finished it by now, but I was working on other stuff... one thing being the scripting language interpreter for Direct2d. I'm going with a C++ type syntax, as that will be the easiest to remember. When I did the TDF language for the original DOZ, I used so many commands that I started having to use a lookup sheet just to remember what did what.

Oh, before I forget, go vote for Gordon over on Hazard Labs. So far it's #1!

I used to have 5 speakers with my home theater.. well, not too long ago, the two front channels started sounding all screwed, to the point where they were unusable. So I lose them, and start using my 2 rear channels as my fronts, and set the receiver to use the 3-stereo mode, which just takes all the surround part and puts it through the fronts as well. Well lately, I've started hearing a little buzzing in these speakers too, as well as the center channel. If I lose these, I will be speakerless, which will be a vely vely bad ting. I'd almost be afraid to buy a new set, especially since I have no real job at the moment(aside from programming and such), in case it's the home theater itself damaging them. I don't go turning it up way too loud all the time or anything, either. The slight buzzing just bugs me to no end.

Good news though... I may acquire a faster computer soon. Not super fast (it's around 300mhz), but any speed increase will help in making Flash and 3d models. And I can always use extra hard drive space. I can't really do anymore upgrading to the one I have now. It's in an old AT case, AT motherboard of course, with the max 200mhz processor in it (overclocked to 225). I could use up to 128 megs of ram (I have 72 now), but that would require buying 4 32meg simms, which would go around $30-40 on Ebay. With this new 'puter, I'll be able to pop in normal dimms, which are dirt cheap in the stores. Woo!
