Blogroll

    Website may be up and down over next few months. I'm currently doing a complete overhaul of everything. Going back to simple individual .htm pages, new overall site theme, sanitizing and cleaning up html of all pages and blog posts, attempting to implement a new tooling and publishing system etc etc.

    Three XNA example projects have been posted

    I have been starting to dabble in XNA the last couple of days, and have posted the code for 3 example projects I created.

    I have to say that I can read and under stand the C# language and have converted a number of C# projects over to vb.net in the past. Some were small some were large, but this is the first time I have actually written, C# code. I am a vb.net only developer. I have to say, it's an annoying language to write code in. Really annoying. Particularly with case sensitivity, and method calls that don't end with () brackets. If they wanted to create a easy to use platform for making games they should have used vb.net. I am certain first timers, non programmers people who see xna as a chance to get into programming for the first time would not have found the vb language syntax as annoying and finicky as C#.

    But any way I am finding it much easier to write C# code then I had expected. But hopefully the XNA team makes good and releases a vb.net flavor of XNA game studio, for us vb'ers out there.

    I have setup a page just for XNA here.

    Wow it's been almost a month already since my last blog entry! I am still working, at my job. The local sawmill shutdown and I got hired on as a laborer pulling electrical wires and stripping them for the copper. The other day four of us stripped over 11,000 pounds of copper wire, in one day! Which earned out boss about $22,000 CAD dollars. But it looks like this Thursday is going to be my last day working there, so I should have more free time to do things like make blog posts!

    Anyway I have been starting to play around with the Axiom Rendering Engine again these last few days, and it seems to be going good so far. I am actually finding that I can get the engine to work fairly easily as compared to my previous attempts at trying to get it to work. I am also thinking I might start posting some content on the Axiom wiki whne I find the time as it seems to be in need of user submissions.

    I just finished adding some more content to the site. All of it was programming related.

    I also added a new link to the navigation bar called "Projects". Projects is where I will be placing all of my programming related projects under.
