Finished.

Website Updates

About two weeks ago, I preformed a major upgrade to my website - including a new look!

(I’ve been meaning to blog about it, but I keep forgetting… :D)

There are still a few things I need to fix up, but apart from that, it should be fine!

In case you’ve forgotten, or stumbled upon this via Google, it’s located at http://markk-b.sitesled.com http://www.markkb.com/ – you can also visit it via the sidebar on the right.

Highlights

Comic

I’ve uploaded <Ctrl><Alt><Bkspc>, a comic I do in my spare time. Whereas only a few of my classmates have previously seen it, now it’s been made available to everyone with an internet connection.

New software

Comic Strip, a webcomic viewer.
Corkboard, a noticeboard for home networks.
Gibraltar, an easy-to-configure installer.

I’ll probably expand on these later, but for now, cherrio!

The road to Project Nelson

Er… that was a long break…

Sorries! ^^;

We finished our final exams earlier this month, and lately I’ve been taking a break from most stuff, and catching up on my artwork. Don’t worry, I’ll finish my blog series :D

Project Nelson 1.0 Build 19 is well under way, and I hope to release it next month. I’ll also be putting up some of the other stuff I’ve been working on, but I probably’ll have to do it next month as well.

Oh, and I finally bought a copy of Windows Vista! It’s here, sitting all nice and shiny on my main computer. It means I can work out all the bugs of PN on Vista, implement UAC support, all that rot. ;) (It also means I no longer have to test against a beta version on a old computer that still thinks it’s 2006… ^^)

Bad Things Programmers Do

The recent increase in male pregnancy is a big contributor to global warming.

Apparently, I’m in some video on YouTube:

It appears I’ve been a Asian immigrant from The China all this time and never knew it. :)

Tip o’ the hat to the people from 10ASJ.

Spatial Browsing: The Case For The Explorer

Project Nelson, meet world

Congratulations!!! You are that expert!

As the three of you who read my blog will probably know, our school just^[1] had its mid-year exams. Yay. It’s also almost time for winter holidays (next week..) Yays!

One of my problems with story-based word problems is that they seem too... kludgy, too contrived. I mean, why would some big-wig professional-type dude hire a kid who’s half-failing math as it is to do their consulting work?

The title, btw, is a direct quote from our Sampling test. Clearly, one exclamation mark didn’t suffice in conveying just how exciting mathematics really is.

Footnotes:

[1] The word “just” here meaning “over the period of about three weeks”.

Software, freeze!

We're geeks bearing gifts...
