Poetry At It’s Best…

Posted by Tom Bresson on Thursday, 9 February, 2006

I ran across this on a link from Entensity.net

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
All of my base
Are belong to you.

Now on to more pressing issues.

The H2GP project that I have been working on for 9 months should be finished here in the next few months, its just a matter of getting some time to work on it. Battlefield 2 is actually receiving more of my attention than Halo 2 is at the moment, so I might have to make some modifications to the H2GP program to allow it to be more ‘multi-game’ friendly.

Ah… The internet, where really ‘f’-ed up things are found.

Take for example, this.

And lastly for today’s post, the FOTP.

FOTP: Kegbot, Your beer’s bodyguard.

This project has been around for a while, and I would really like to see more updates to the project, but none the less, it definitely is cool. This project uses a Linux box, solonoid, and flow meter installed on a beer tap to control and record how much your guests drink. Each guest (if the system is setup this way) uses a “Smart Button” to login to the Linux box, then the solonoid opens and allows the beer to be tapped from the keg. The flow meter calculates how much was poored and the Linux box keeps all the stats and compiles a website from them with many interesting atributes. I think I need to build one of these, maybe even for a ‘School Project’?

Video Games are Like Good Wine…

Posted by Tom Bresson on Thursday, 22 December, 2005

Recently I’ve rediscovered why I love video games so much, definitely kickin’ it back to the classics when you talk about Sonic and Mario. Halo 2 is a great game, but why play it when you could be experiencing the fast paced action and catchy tunes of Sonic the Hedgehog! Yes, it’s true, I do occasionally give up my Xbox controller to sit at my PC and emulate a system long past, but it’s still surprising how much fun these games actually are. Anyways, I posted some of screen shots from the master system, just to show off the gorgeous 16bit graphics of the early 90′s. (The game music really is catchy, it just gets stuck in your head.)

Ahhhh… The good old Genesys days.

On to bigger issues, Christmas is officially in 3 days! That’s defenatly exciting!

When I get around to it, I will make the list of software I promised in the last post. Until next time, Happy Holidays!
