“10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10” is a BASIC program that will run on all Commodore 8-bit computers including, most famously, the Commodore 64. It’s also the title of a book released in 2012 that can be purchased in hard copy, or downloaded for free from the official website: 10print.org I got a copy of […]
94/100. I got exercise in 5.5 of the days. I find it easy on the days I’m working at that telephone place: I’m quite eager to take my break, and since I’m sitting around, stuck to the phone the whole time, I really feel like moving and go for a walk. When I’m at home […]
77/100. Oh well. I got off to a good start with exercise the first 4 days, but a bunch of midnight shifts allowed the cold I had been dodging for more than a week to finally get me, and I just didn’t have the energy after that. I’m mostly over the cold now; feeling pretty […]
88/100. Getting back there! I exercised every day this week, except was really slack one of the days, so I lost a point there. Mostly VRT, and got some walking in 3 days. All week I practiced the same 3 Midnight Oil songs: River Runs Red, Arctic World, and Sometimes. Then on Sunday night I […]
I have to think of more imaginative titles for these posts. 99/100: a really good week; I just ran out of time on Sunday to get my daily sorting/fixing activity in. I’m still really enjoying the daily walks. When it’s warmer outside (like, just -5 or -10C) I find all sorts of creative ideas come […]
My band, The Transparencies, have been practicing for the last couple months for a tribute concert to one of our favourite bands, The Lost Dogs. If you’re in the area, and not watching the Grey Cup, come drop by. Date: Sunday, November 25, 2007 Time: 7:00pm – 10:00pm Location: Northwood Park Church of Christ (Basement) […]
It’s been a busy time since my last post: the game is finished and off to be manufactured, should be in stores in September; we took a 7500 km family trip through the north-west of the USA; during that trip I attended the Christian Game Developers Conference and had a very inspirational and enjoyable time. […]
This is the 3rd track from the “My 64” album. We had a lot of fun playing the music for this track – musically we were more influenced by MxPx’s cover of “Summer of ’69” than by the Bryan Adams original. My singing is particularly awful on this track. SUMMER OF 64 ———— Music/some lyrics: […]
This second track on the “My 64” album was a whole bunch of fun to record, like messing around with effects on the background vocals and trying to get a sitar-like sound out of my acoustic guitar for the solo. I also like the inherent goofiness in singing long phrases like “Double Density 5 1/4″ […]
I’m starting to get ready for my annual trip down to Chicago to meet up with fellow Commodore geeks at the end of September. SWRAP didn’t put together a show, so a friend of mine put up the money to rent a big conference room at a hotel. Long live the ECCC! It’s been 7 […]
