http://blog.taniith.com I dream of taking flight in an ambiguous world filled with vague clouds and shadowed air...Then I wake up and forget the whole thing Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:56:34 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en So, I keep getting comment spam at a significantly higher rate than I used to. So, I turned on some features that block comments unless they are from a user who has already had an approved comment. So if you have an account then at most 1 of your comments ... http://blog.taniith.com/2010/03/comments-2/ Last week, we had the 2 (and 6) year anniversaries of when URU was canceled. On that day, one of the NPCs from the game posted on their in-character forum. Thus began the lead up to today. For a while now, they've been promising us the source code for the ... http://blog.taniith.com/2010/02/moulagain/ Apparently, word of my skillset is getting around. Britt (one of the new professors; the one I had that little tiff with in A-term) runs a figure-drawing workshop every week. I don't go, but I know several people that do. I'm told that at the one this week, someone idly ... http://blog.taniith.com/2010/02/reputation/ WPI had an H1N1 shot clinic yesterday; it was even free! I went and got my shot, which was obviously nothing compared to the horror I had built up in my mind while walking up the hill (and waiting for them to get back from lunch, leaving me more time ... http://blog.taniith.com/2010/01/pig-shot/ Some months ago, the sales tax rate in Massachusetts was increased to 6.25%. Now, me not being much of one to keep tabs on the news, I managed to miss this fact. When the day came for the change, I was on the grand Adventure (probably on a train or ... http://blog.taniith.com/2010/01/someone-screwed-up/ Just a quick bit of commentary on the episode... you probably shouldn't look if you haven't seen it yet. I just watched The End of Time part 1, the first half of David Tennant's last Doctor Who episode. Holy crap! I knew one person that was coming back, both from prophecy ... http://blog.taniith.com/2009/12/end-of-time-pt1/ In the past couple days, I've discovered a few interesting things. First is Ponoko. They have a whole host of materials that they will laser cut (from felt to plastic to wood). I got a few small bits laser cut for Heek, but that was just in plastic. I'm now ... http://blog.taniith.com/2009/12/steampunk-heek/ Traffic has slowed to a halt. The past month or two, the only traffic has been people being directed here for the posts about that scam, and the occasional Google search. Now, there's even less than that. And I get the feeling that part of the reason for less reading ... http://blog.taniith.com/2009/12/a-slow-death/ The other day I was talking to my Dad about going to the GDC conference in the spring (its actually during spring break for once, so I can go!). I made a reference to my Adventure, and how the less expensive Chicago hotel I stayed at first was so much ... http://blog.taniith.com/2009/11/a-little-late/ I just watched this TED talk... I knew some perception stuff, but the way he puts it really opens your eyes (no pun intended). I also suddenly got several interesting game ideas, including one for my current MQP (not that things can be changed at this point, but still...) http://blog.taniith.com/2009/11/really-amazing/
