Upon Jenny's return from her co-op job which, is incedentally not in Hamilton. It was decided that we should go explore a little known "Trinity falls in Hamilton" 

The Tiffany falls!

Hmm..Who thinks with Jenny's sense of balance this is a bad idea? 

Jenny simulating penguin flapping? 

Maddy pose! 

Maddy being adventurous 

Simply Magnificent 

Evidence of a crime? 

Aww here's Maddy and Jenny by the falls 

Snack time, with a very good view 

Jenny is fishing? 

Look at us all touristy 

Japanese POSE! 

Homemade Tic Tac Toe 

Jenny adventurously crosses the man made bridge, which is just bunch of longs layed across flowing water.

Princess Point

Princess point is one of the few undiscovered places in hamilton (at least of for me). It's quite a tranquil area of Hamilton that it seems few of the McMaster students seem to take advantage of. Quite a shame the pictures here don't really do it justice, but simply put it helps put your soul at ease.


Reminds me of those post cards doesn't it?

Japanese Pose 

I'm not really sure what Maddy is trying to say to me here.. But it doesn't look Nice

O's in the mail

The o for my laptop has finally arrived today at 9:00am. Now I can spell all those wonderful things involving the letter O!

A laptop simply isn't a laptop without the letter o (it's more like laptp).

So normailty has been restored and the need / urge to fix things have gone down dramatically...

On a side note this new laptop keyboard seems to have more texture than the previous one. I think that typing over time can actually wear down the keys so that they are smooth and polished. Guess this will take a bit of getting used to.

Water plus laptop = bad

Due to an unfortunate incident involving water my
laptop and the letter o. My laptop sits at home today
without its o key working. Ive already ordered a
replacement but there are questions on if that is the
issue.

Java 2D

There's quite an ambitious project comming up. Me, Kevin Klinger, Don Vo intend on building a 2D sprite engine for a simulator that will run a 2D fighter sim for a contest we are planning on behalf of McMaster university.

Originally we looked at .NET as a solution for the engine but then we realized that the audience for .NET is limited to the windows platform, and that was not ideal. Instead we decided the most portable language without showing our implimentation (this is a contest after all) would be JAVA.

Preliminary research is underway figuring out how to do certain things like blit away sprites and do double buffering. We are glad at the information we've been finding so fare comforting us that we don't need to use OpenGL to get this one done which would've been overkill.

The 2nd part of this project is the more difficult part right now it seems. We would like them to code the A.I. in a programming language we create. At the moment we're not really sure if we have to write a parser and lexer and then a symantec executor from scratch in JAVA, or if there's a parser generator available already that only need s a regular grammar to generate the language tree.

The project is quite ambitious but the results should be equally spectacular once it is finished.
