Euchre
Recently I received an inquiry about the whereabouts of my Euchre program for Windows. Ever since I have moved servers, the euchre download link has been broken. I forgot to copy it!
So I dug out my old source code and worked to restore the code. I haven’t run Windows as my primary operating system for several years now and I do all my development and computing in Linux. Fortunately I have a Win32 cross-compiler installed, so at least I have the capability to compile Win32 programs. I managed to create a simple Makefile and recompiled my programs. I even tracked down an old installation of NSIS (NullSoft scriptable install system) that I needed to create the installer. I ran it through Wine and it created the installers with no problem. So, everything is up and running!
You can grab the Euchre game here. Thanks to everybody who is still interested!

100 Pushup Challenge
I’m currently on week four of the 100 Pushup Challenge. The goal is to be able to do 100 consecutive pushups at the end of the program. It consists of six weeks and has three different plans based on your performance from the previous week. If you fail at any point, you restart that week’s program.
When I first started, I sucked horribly. Now my strength has been improving rapidly.
I am using the Perfect Pushup during my training. It works the body much better than a regular pushup does. Since it takes more work and the 100 Pushup Challenge is meant for normal pushups, don’t be surprised when you take the challenge if you end up on the easiest column. I probably won’t be able to ever hit a 100 with the perfect pushup, but hopefully I will be able to with regular pushups.
Once I’m done, I’ll let you know if my golf swing speed has increased, and by how much!

Golf
Yesterday I went and played Wigwam in the afternoon when the course would be empty. As expected, it was. I only time I ran into a group ahead of me was my approach shot on 18.
I wanted to use the time to apply the techniques Ronnie gave me. I still am a little too wristy which leads to my hook, but I’ve gotten it more under control. I hit a lot of good shots, even with clubs that used to give me nightmares. The first hole is a par 5, so I hit my drive along the right side, and had about 210 left to the green. That’s a little bit short for my 5 wood, and I haven’t hit a 3-iron in forever since I always screw it up. But I decided on giving the 3 iron a shot, and it was a good decision. I hit a nice shot with just a fraction of a draw, and it landed in front of the green and rolled off the back. I’ve been using some crappy Top-Flite balls lately while I work out my swing - I don’t want to lose any nice balls. They do a lot farther and don’t hold worth a damn on the greens. So maybe if I was playing my normal ball, the shot would have held. I hit several long irons and had good results with them. Maybe I don’t need to buy that hybrid after all.
In the end, I finished with a 7-over 77, 38-39.

Death Note
I’ve been enjoying the Death Note anime on Cartoon Network, and I couldn’t wait each week to see how it turned out, so I bought all twelve manga releases from our local bookstores. For the uninitiated, manga is a Japanese comic. The story is excellent and the art fantastic. I couldn’t put it down.

Announcing vgmstream - a replacement for audacious-cube
Audacious_cube is now deprecated and replaced with vgmstream. in_cube was rewritten and vgmstream was born. The authors contacted me and asked if I was willing to create an audacious plugin, and I happily accepted.
The code exists purely in SVN now on Sourceforge. We will be making a formal release shortly. Until then, you’ll have to check out the code via SVN and build it yourself. Enjoy!

New Server move successful
I’ve finished moving my data over to the new host. Everything should operate really cleanly now.
I’ve also added a subdomain to host my image gallery. You can view it at http://gallery.voidpointer.org.
