Status Update: Bobby Anguelov is busy…

So as you can see I’ve written two directx 10 tutorials, while they arent any where near as detailed as my neural network tutorials i still think they are a step in the right direction. If you read my review of “beginning directX game programming”, you can see that i’m not very happy with the current lack of directx 10 resources. I’m going to do my best over the next couple of months to write up any tutorials and put up any code snippets in the hope it might help someone else out there.

What else have i been doing? Well i’ve been busy working on my varsity assignments and work has been pretty busy lately, we’ve started overhauling and retro fitting our legacy CMS we use in the department. I’ve had to completely rewrite several systems, i’m again finding myself working overtime to meet self imposed deadlines. I dont have any fixed deadlines but i do my best to stick to dates i specified initially. Unfortuneatly in doing so i often dont have a lot of time to test my code, luckily there were only two silly bugs in the rewrite of 2 major systems and i got both of those fixed in a matter of minutes.

I’ve also been hitting the caffeine a bit hard lately and its screwed up my body clock a bit. My body seem to think bed time is around 3am and wake up time is 7am Working off of 4 hours sleep isnt so great.

In other news I’m really really excited! September through to november are going to be epic from a gaming perspective! So many titles are being released that i just cant wait for: stalker : clear sky, far cry 2, COD:World at war, GTA 4 PC, FALLOUT 3, civilization 4: colonization, red alert 3… Man oh man! i cant wait, i havent touched a game in months, mainly due to the fact that nothign good has been released for PC in ages. HAHA! i’m gonna be so broke tho, i just cant seem to be okay with pirating games anymore. Its nice to own originals, i feel like i’m supporting the developers.

So yeh, my plan for the next few weeks is to start on my Special Project regarding the Discrete pulse transform, i’ve also noticed a massive stack overflow bug in my implementation that i need to correct. I also want to complete and improve my FPT toolkit application. All this while i’m working on my DX 10 tutorials and varsity assignment not to mention work.

It gonna be a rough next few weeks…
