Waking For Lunch

You’ll be pleased to hear that I finally made my first true Windows application today. Albeit, one that did nothing whatsoever other than exist, and then, exit. But at least it did those things properly. Oh, but it also turned out that it works only on my system.

Damn.

I also managed to finish Okami (Oh-kami) about a week ago, at the end of (a stunning game) which, it gleefully reported that I’d spent 56 hours at the controller, over a period of 95 days. That’s an average of a little over half hour a day. See! There’s proof that my mum’s allegations of “Oh, he’s always playing games” are totally, irrefutably baseless.

I’m also contemplating investing in a spanking new X-Fi XtremeGamer (yuk! that sounds so cheezy) sound card, to replace both my worthless onboard sound, and the 500 rupee(s) stand-in Yamaha… something… that I’d hoped would be better (it wasn’t). This particular X-Fi is the cheapest hardware accelerated X-Fi card available on the market, and at over Rs. 6000 online, it is still over 2000 bucks dearer than in the states. Ah well, that’s the price you pay for living in India. At least this way, I’ll have some justification for the 1.5k I dropped on the Zalmans… well, MM-Gear, really.

So that’s it for tonight. 3:23 seems like a nice time to sink into the pillow. See ya tomorrow for lunch.
