Hey, I got something working! 🙂 I found another great tutorial, which you can look at here, and I talked to some of my #c-64 friends who know more about this stuff than I do. Last time, I was wondering how to create the database that my PHP program would read from psw.ca. It ended […]
There’s a number of websites I’d like to make, but have held off because it seemed like maintenance would be way too much trouble. For example, this list of C64 games licenced from movies I mentioned last post – wouldn’t it be great if each entry could have it’s own page with information on both […]
Sorry I disappeared for so long folks – I was actually getting paid to do C64 programming and other related duties. Wow! And I was trying to do that and still hold on to my real job, and have my kids still recognize me (“Mommy, who’s that man that’s always in our basement?”) so blogging […]
It’s been 7 years, almost to the minute, since Darren, Doug and I finished mixing down “New Material Only”, North and the Sea’s only “studio” album. It’s easy to remember, since we stayed up really late, and Carla and I were booked to go into the hospital early the next morning to have our first […]
In 2001 I made a C64 game called Minima – a small role-playing game, sort of a Mini-Ultima. I managed to squeeze it under 2k, submitted it to the 2001 Minigame Competition, and won! In 2003 I bloated it up to almost 4k with some new features, and submitted it to the 2003 competition as […]
Been away too long – I’ve been spending a lot of my spare time reading sci-fi and working on an ultra-kewl top-secret project lately. I’ve always liked old science fiction – stuff from the 1800s and early-ish 1900s, like Journey to the Center of the Earth. So I did a bit of looking into Science […]
There’s more to me than video games – that’s just what I usually blog about. But maybe you’d like to know some other stuff about me? If so, read on… I’ve been married for 7 years to my wife, Carla. We have 4 children, named Rianna (age 6), Heidi (5), Peter (3), and Benjamin (1). […]
Found some decent stuff at the Value Village today – another 15″ VGA monitor for $6 (it’s handy having an extra extra monitor for working on people’s computers here at home, since my extra has been indefinitely loaned to my church, when that monitor blew up a couple months ago), bicycle training wheels for $3 […]
I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with sports. As a kid, I remember doing a lot of physical activity – riding my bike around for hours at a time, or running to and from school (partly because I could, and partly so I could be at home as long as possible to watch TV or […]
I received my order from Atari Age earlier this week – so I’m now the proud owner of Tree Wave’s “cabana ep+” CD that I was talking about earlier. It has a couple of extra tracks, and a couple videos as well that you can watch if you put the CD in a modern computer. […]
