So it’s been years since I worked on my SimpleBlog project. I’ve decided to start a new project with the same name. The project is relatively simple; to create a minimal blog demo using ASP.NET and host it wherever I can find a spot. Right now I’m looking at IBM’s VPN Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Google’s VPN Cloud as trial beds. Maybe also Amazon Web Services; they’re pretty popular professionally, but they don’t have an unlimited free VPN like those first three. Unless they do, in the future when you’re reading this.
I’ll post links once I’ve got the basic app up somewhere.
I updated my Resume and added an ODT option, in preparation for upcoming job fairs I plan to attend.
I updated my Resume on my Resume Page. I modified the skill bars to reflect my current proficiencies and comfort level with my best technologies, and improved the formatting a bit.
I had neglected to add my Ludum Dare entry from late last year to my Porfolio so I did that just now. It’s a game called Warehouse Blues that I made in two days in Unity from scratch. It’s not perfect but I think I did a better job than my last 2D platformer.
I really don’t use this blog as often as I might think I should.
I’m still making games and doing other work. I’m adding a subdomain to my site to host a friend’s books. Hopefully that’ll help him gain exposure.
I’ve updated my Portfolio with my latest Ludum Dare demo game, and updated my Resume to reflect my current status.
I competed in Ludum Dare 37 and managed to complete a game!

I’ve been working pretty much non stop for the last few weeks. I had planned to upload my assignments as I did them, but they need some polish before I show them and I don’t have time for polish. So, expect a bunch of projects all at once when I get a load of free time, like maybe around winter holiday, or when I graduate next year…
It’s been over a year since my last update here. I’ve been putting coding updates in my personal blog, since I interweave them with personal comments, but it’s probably not good for my professional site to make it look empty like this.
I’m currently enrolled in the Advanced Game Development post-graduate program at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. I’ll be uploading my assignments to my Github and linking them here to show what I’ve accomplished.
I’ll also be putting some of my older projects on hiatus. As it happens, one of my class assignments is to develop a full featured chatroom, so I might use that to restart my MU* project. I might even make it open source, wouldn’t that be neat?
Anyway thanks for checking out my Blog. Expect more posts in the next few months.
4:30pm – This’ll be a short work session since I have to be somewhere in less than an hour, but I want to try and solve the AJAX error if I can before that. I’ve already taken a look at it and I’ve got no clue what’s going wrong. I don’t see any new code that would interfere with the jquery get function, yet it returns a fail result. So, I’ve gotta figure out under what conditions it could fail.
4:33pm – Oho! I found the problem. When I went to the php page itself it gave a syntax error. That explains it. That should be easy enoug to fix.
4:35pm – It doesn’t seem to have a syntax error in the file itself. I’ll try re-uploading it in case I don’t have the most recent version on the server.
4:46pm – Well I’ve gotten rid of the AJAX error but I still don’t have any posts showing. I wonder why that could be.
5:01pm – The AJAX error is gone, it was mostly a bunch of syntax errors in the PHP. But now it’s not putting up any posts and it’s not giving any errors. I added a data dump to console and found that it was getting a false result from the PHP script. That means the database connection isn’t working properly, in one of a few ways. It’ll take some effort to figure out what’s going wrong there, and I’m low on time, so I’m going to head out.
