So I haven’t posted since before vacation. Everything I’ve come up with to post since then has been more appropriate for the forthcoming blurb-log than for the blog. I’m not done coding my new blog system yet, so I was trying to hold off. I’m still not sure whether to call the blurb-log part of the system a “blurg” or not. See more on that in the next blog post. This blog post is a bunch of blurbs about what’s been going on since last I posted. I don’t usually do posts about my life, but a lot of things have happened that may interest other people. And if I wait for my new site to be finished before I post, there will be a long time of waiting.

Tomorrow I am not going to work. I am going to The Otakon. This will be my fourth Otakon. If you’re going to be there and you want to see me I am guaranteed to be at the club summit panel.

I got three things to say about the Nintendo DS that have come to mind recently. First off, I ride the train to work every weekday. The DS is perfect for the train rides.

I imagine airplane turbulence and bumpy highways might also cause similar difficulties. It’s a little thing that not many notice, but it makes a big difference as those are places the DS is used most.

The heyday of PC gaming is long gone. But recently I have reacquainted myself with its chief surviving remnant, Steam. It hasn’t changed much since I last played. I also randomly came across some technical articles recently, like this about how to get broadcast packets to travel over a VPN for gaming. Presumably this is for games that use IPX or some other simple LAN gaming protocol.

I made a comment recently on a blog that was talking about streaming HTTP, AJAX and other hot web technologies. I realized that as far as Google and del.icio.us know, nobody has made a game using these technologies. I hope that this post will help me to find, create or inspire games that do so.
