Posted on February 27, 2009 by baudattitude

To quote myself from a few days ago, on the topic of Jeanne D’arc: “Those minor things aside, serious thumbs up. It’s challenging, it’s satisfying, and – tragic lack of catgirls aside – it’s awfully pretty.” Well, how was I … Continue reading →

Proving the depths of my ineptitude

Posted on February 26, 2009 by baudattitude

So, I found out a couple of days ago that Valve put out a free sort-of-level of Half Life 2 as a tech demo for some lighting engine they’d worked up. I quite enjoyed Half Life 2, regardless of the … Continue reading →

Crappy EULAs

Posted on February 25, 2009 by baudattitude

OK, there’s no way to start this 100% tastefully, but I trust you’ll forgive. I was in the men’s room at school, and the bottom roll of paper had run out, so I was trying to figure out how to … Continue reading →

I am become death, apparently

Posted on February 19, 2009 by baudattitude

Media Transfer Progression

Posted on February 18, 2009 by baudattitude

Things are humming along nicely.  In the 3 days since I finished transferring the last of the audiocassettes, I’ve gotten ten out of the thirty minidiscs – the thirty minidiscs that actually have content unique to them, that is, content … Continue reading →

One more media milestone

Posted on February 16, 2009 by baudattitude

Finally have all the audiocassettes – all the ones I’m going to bother with, anyway – recorded onto a PC as 16-bit, 48KHz WAV files.  I have an awful lot of audiocassettes that I’m simply not bothering with.  They’re mostly … Continue reading →

Dead Drives and ranting

Posted on February 15, 2009 by baudattitude

Here’s a picture for you: This is a Western Digital Raptor 150GB, 10K RPM drive, about 2 years old.  It was not a cheap piece of kit when it was bought, but it was also nice and fast and one … Continue reading →

A Winner Is Me (Again)

Posted on February 8, 2009 by baudattitude

After scoring a free copy of Braid last December, I didn’t expect to be winning anything again any time soon, much less from a contest I didn’t know I’d entered. See, I have a JCB card.  JCB being, basically, Japan’s … Continue reading →
