Sick.

I'm sick today. I just feel terrible. Maybe I'll try playing a online game. I certainly have the time to do so.

Darn. (Gmod)

Garry's Mod has a virus. I've been playing Team Fortress 2 lately, but found myself wanting to go online with GMod today. I usually read the latest posts in some forums on Facepunch, so at least I found out about it before I could get it. There's an antidote out, but I'm going to wait for Garry to update it before I go online again.

Ok, that didn't work.

I've been busy lately. Here's a new post!

The AVRs didn't work. I think I had a bad programmer, but it's a lot of hassle just to make a "hello world" blinking LED, so I needed something easier. I chose PICAXE. Now I only have to wait another half-a-week to actually make something.

I'm getting the programmer replaced, so it (and some ATtiny2313 chips) may be up for sale soon.

Well, That Was Weird.

Whatever that computer problem I had yesterday was, it's gone now. I still have no idea what it was.

Broken: FAIL(!!!)

Here, look at this ad I saw today.

Right off the bat, you can tell what it's for. If you saw it live, you'd see two characters fighting. At a first glance, it's not broken, but if you look at it longer you see the "-Lire... FAIL!!!-" text at the bottom. Does this mean anything ingame? Dev inside jokes? Guess it must be its main selling point: "Find out what -Lire... FAIL!!!- means!"

It got even more broken from there. While I was pondering the meaning of -Lire... FAIL!!!-, the animation suddenly stopped. Didn't they think people might look at it for a minute or two?

They have such a terrible ad, but somehow I actually kinda want to play it. I'm lucky it doesn't run on Macs.

EDIT: Apparently, it's some secret programmer joke that no one's ever heard of. I think I read that somewhere.
