Update

Wednesday, October 20th, 2004

I’ve been insanely busy for the past month or so, hence the lack of updates. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays; mainly because it celebrates everything that is strange and scary like aliens, vampires, and Jack Chick comics. So, since things don’t seem to be letting up, I thought I’d do one generic October update. In honor of the holiday I’ve reviewed my favorite ghost themed Commodore game Ghostbusters. I thought about doing Ghosts n’ Goblins, it being more appropriate for the season. But I soon decided against on account of the fact that it’s impossible for a normal human to get past level one. So you get Ghostbusters instead, which is a great game too.

Game Review

Sunday, May 16th, 2004

It’s time for another retro-game review. This time, I take a retro-active look at the Commodore classic Lazarian. Lazarian is among the first crop of Commodore games, and was one of my first video games. It’s simple and fun, and I still play it from time to time. Check out the review to hear more.

I have just posted the first of what I hope to be many software development related tutorials. This tutorial introduces a script I commonly use for sending e-mail with ASP. I recently updated the script to take advantage of the built in e-mail functionality of .Net. Being an old Java programmer I also rewrote it in C# just for fun :) . Click here to check it out.

I also posted a review of one of my most favorite video games, Space Taxi, not too long ago. It’s a very underrated game, and a whole heck of a lot of fun. Click here to check it out.
