Important Lessons

Filed under: General, It's funny. Laugh. — Chris Ross @ 3:17 pm

There are days in the month when all a man has to do is open his mouth and he takes his very life into his own hands! This is a handy guide that should be as common as a driver’s license in the wallet of every husband, boyfriend, or significant other!!

DANGEROUS: What’s for dinner?

SAFER: Can I help you with dinner?

SAFEST: WOW! Look at you!

ULTRASAFE: Here, have some chocolate.

DANGEROUS: What are you so worked up about?

SAFER: What did I do wrong?

ULTRASAFE: Here, have some chocolate.

SAFEST: Can I get you a glass of wine with that?

ULTRASAFE: Here, have some chocolate.

Life

Filed under: General — Chris Ross @ 5:27 pm

So, I have been up to various different things. I did a 10k race today which was a good laugh if not a little tiring. Did it officially at about 54.53 but that included the few minutes before I went across the start line. I think I can take about 5 minutes off as I was also congested in the first couple of k’s.

ferite has had some major memory issues fixed, the jedi memory manager can now detect memory over and under runs, double free’s, and null pointer deletion. I am very pleased. This has allowed a number of significant memory issues, only visible with jedi use, to be resolved. Both in ferite and third party modules. I have also made some cool changes to webframework to make it much nicer to use and develop for. I have also started writing a bug tracker in webframework (it was originally a demo on how easy it is to write web apps) as the various other bug trackers suck.

Work is going well which is nice.

Absolutely Still Alive

Filed under: General — Chris Ross @ 9:50 am

I got complained to last night about the complete lack of updates to this site. Well, here is an update. It’ll be short and brief because I am currently sat here trying to get things done.

  • I am indeed still alive, breathing and doing that whole eating/drinking thing.
  • I have been out with various groups of people since the last update which has been a good laugh. This has included, but not limited to, cinema, pub, a gig, various evenings of computer game playing, nights on various tiles and generally having a laugh and a giggle.
  • I have been training for a 10k run that is on the 19th February and a half-marathon on the 26th March. This started out hard work, remains hard work but is starting to make me feel much better in and of myself. I can definitely feel the benifit. My appetite for food has sky rocketed as a result of the running as well as the speed at which it gets placed down my throat. Mr Cornes, I understand thee.
  • I have been playing a fair bit of poker and getting much better at it. I have previously been playing normal tables, however, I have recently moved to play Sit n’ Go 10 person tournaments. I have mostly been practicing with play money with a goal that, when I understand how the game play changes over time and with people leaving the table I can move to real money tournaments. It is a good laugh and I am really enjoying it. I am getting to a point now where I’d really like to amble to a casino and play some real live poker. See how I do and all that. At somepoint I am going to post various hands that I have played along with some hand analysis for both my skill improvement and to spark some interest in my readers.
  • I have started a new character on World of Warcraft, a Orc Warlock. This is fun and for the first time I am really getting into the game. It is a huge time sink but then there are times when it is easy to watch a dvd to whilst playing. It also helps that Dave is playing which means that it is much more sociable than it used to be.
  • Ferite has had some decent time spent on it mainly in the bug fixing and webframework departments. I am looking forward to releasing 1.1.0 at somepoint in the next month or so, I should hopefully then be able to release webframework to the public, have some nice “look how easy this is” movies and then bring over the general populous to my way of thinking. Noble goals, but achievable I feel.
  • I am off to Sweden on Sunday for a few days which should be fun.
  • TextMate has much improved since I last used it.
