Somewhere between the Zombie B Movies and Programming lies…

Well more importantly A real news update, I have been tracking the efforts of openpandora.org and the Pandora Handheld it looks like they didn’t make their July 20th date so the wait goes on there ( to be expected as there is a lot for them to do ). I’ve been investigating OpenSim Engine for doing something similar to WireMod and Garry’s Mod. Since the Source Engine carries quite a few limitations but that is to be expected since overriding it’s limits generates massive problems. Then again I’m not too sure if OpenSim can handle what I am looking for in a “game engine” at least for my idea.

On to other topics, I actually managed to hose my Netbook firmware and the recovery method is no longer functioning. I am going to gamble it is completely shot now since it does not even accept any flash images or even cycle properly. The laptop is a Acer Aspire One but all attempts to use the Fn + Esc while powering to flash have failed so far. Also for your information I have tried using both FAT and FAT32 formats on the flash drives, used multiple cases for naming, and thumb drives to restore it, all of which have failed. So I am forced to send the laptop back via RMA.

I have added some GFC Integration to my site for the moment to do some testing with it, but so far it’s not the integration I was looking for and I believe it needs more work. The individual who wrote the plug-in doesn’t seem to be available anymore or his site at least isn’t so that is kind of bothersome. However it doesn’t seem to take much to improve it but it is more of a question of time.

Interestingly enough I had fun watching some old zombie flicks, hence the title, it’s quite amazing how low budget those films were and manage to stand the test of time as far as being entertaining.

Well seems I’m done at gaston, and now onto UNC-C

So it seems I need to make an update, the Pandora is getting ever so close to release since they are pretty much done with all the hiccups barring the case design which they are finalizing. I think that’s good news since it’s about time we seen some activity from them. I’ve been keeping myself busy this summer with programming projects and helping around the house. Other than that maybe next week I’ll get caught up on the blog, until next time, bye!
