			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know you have hit somekind of low when the only reason you decide to right to your blog is that you are going to have a nice long line of 1&#8217;s in the permalink.</p>
<p>But then again, this blog has traditions, everybody remembers the big triple-8 entry that is still being discussed in Slashdot. That last thing is possible untrue, but you might as well believe it. Ramble ramble.</p>
<p>I just got back from my working out, first 1.5 hours were light, but the second 1.5 was not. Add o.5 hour of cycling and you have a rather tender piece of a person right here. I sincerely recommend exhaustive physical activities for everyone, the innumerable light sense of being afterwards is the purest form of existing I&#8217;ve felt.</p>
<p>That sounds so grand I feel the need to return this blog back to ground (and beyond!) and I&#8217;d like to say something like &#8220;I just farted&#8221;, but it wouldn&#8217;t be true and if this blog is something it&#8217;s truth. And when I say it&#8217;s about truth I mean that it&#8217;s not to an extent that I&#8217;m not comfortable in admitting. Hows that for a ramble?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last Saturday I was away in an almost foreign city, known for its working class history. It was morning and I was waiting outside a supermarket, waiting for it to open so I could get myself some caffeine.  Something you might call a hobo called me out. Asked me to come sit with him, to chat out.</p>
<p>Now, there are two ways you can approach this kind of familiarity. Either you dis it with extreme prejudice or you go along with it, do the human thing.  I chose the latter and sat next to him. He started to simply pour out his life with history and opinions. People like him are pretty candid about their condition, he drinks a lot, doesn&#8217;t expect to be alive too long, had a few songs, told me I was a good listener.</p>
<p>When our brief meeting came to a natural end, he asked me my name, and then gave me the most heart wrenching blessings I&#8217;ve heard. After receiving it, I felt compelled to shake his hand and thank him. I left with a lump in my throat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As my day job slips farther and farther away from actual software development, I&#8217;ve come to face a decision. Either I get myself a project or I slowly become an alcoholic. I&#8217;ve chosen to get myself a project.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve used better part of this Sunday to setup a development environment in my old work laptop. It&#8217;s a fairly meaty machine so running Linux on it is no problem. Installing Linux was no problem either. I had an Ubuntu disk image I had downloaded earlier, I downloaded an USB installer-maker and now I have a USB stick from which I can install an Ubuntu. Now I have a laptop with an Ubuntu, Eclipse with PyDev (and PyGame) running nicely.</p>
<p>&#8230;Annnnd now I have also a git-plugin setup to work with my Eclipse. I almost feel like developer now!</p>
<p>One main reason for this post was to also capture the nice date that we are having. You might also want to check out the permalink for this post, I hesitated to give this post a subject line that would have erased it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oh dear. I completely missed the 8th anniversary of this here blog. I always thought the 10th anniversary seemed so far away and boy, would I be old by then. Now that moment doesn&#8217;t seem that far at all. Out of sheer luck I enjoyed that day, even though being a work day the outcome wasn&#8217;t looking to be favourable. It was the last day of Summer afterall.</p>
<p>But enough about me, how has your existence been Internet?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, the jam is almost over, our game is finished. <a href="http://globalgamejam.org/2010/fire-deadify-your-rivals">Fire! To deadify! Your rivals!</a> I am quite satisfied what our team of three accomplished in just 48 hours. We hadn&#8217;t met before and there was nothing ready before the jam. I felt it kind of unfortunate that I, almost immediately after the theme for the jam and the voluntary accomplishments were announced, came up with the game idea.</p>
<p>Unfortunate in the sense that in a happening like this, it might be a bit risky to hang yourself on an idea right-off-the-bat. Fortunately the idea carried us to the end. And stop reading this and <a href="http://karmington.game-server.cc/shoot/">try out the game!</a></p>
