What are you doing right now?

Random irrelevance that just didn't fit into other forums. Talk about anything.

I'm reading the Elysian Shadows forums, looking up Vedic mathematics, e-mailing last year's Physics teacher, watching Deadliest Catch on tv, and trying to figure out why the hell my hair won't lay down flat. ;)

Sitting about bored out of my mind....I was working on a basic game engine for the 50th time (each time getting slightly closer to a good structure) but that last segmentation fault made me call it a night, so yeah currently a bit burned out.

I'm typing with one hand while eating ice cream and just spilled some ice cream on my keyboard after I typed "hand."
And just browsing around the Elysian Shadows forums I recently joined. :)

You're the exact opposite of me. When I see SegFault the very last thing I consider doing is calling it a night. I HATE leaving my applications broken when I go to sleep.

Came back from the doctor's yesterday from having surgery on my toe. Sitting on the couch is fucking boring! The only fun time I get is on the computer when the woman is out of the house.

That's my opinion on these kind of sites anyway, feel free to tell me you love twitting your daily activities for the whole world to read.
I just don't see this idea appealing.

I am working on my flagship project for the summer, project *Blank* *blank* :lol:

I've been waking up early in the morning (early for me) to get as much done as possible, I've been sitting on my ass doing nothing for too long, uni starts september 27th so I need to finish something before I go, and hopefullly I can get a system up and running with access to FireWire ports so I can make a good quality video before I go, otherwise i'll have to make it when i'm there haha.

If i'm still alive after frying my brain with code, i'll report back here :P
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think I can program pretty well, it's my compiler that needs convincing!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And now a joke to lighten to mood :D

I wander what programming language anakin skywalker used to program C3-PO's AI back on tatooine? my guess is Jawa :P

Using my recently started blog http://samzeid.blogspot.com/ as an excuse to write about my coding problems rather then fixing them. Oh and about to get back to my game engines model loader... Did I mention I started a game engine.
