Wired 13.12: Who's Afraid of Google? Everyone.:

Wow who wouldn't be afraid of such a track record. But what scares me is that all this could happen before I was involved or really had an opinion. I bet there is a crazy nut somewhere who was warning of this happening and nobody listened to him.

IE2005

Well tomorrow the paper I wrote will be presented by Jim Tulip at IE2005. I'm rather excited as he will also be presenting two demonstrations I created.

The first will be a presentation I wrote with RAGE in January/February of 2005. It is a presentation I used to accompany (much like a PowerPoint presentation, except with 3D models in the background: much cooler!) a talk I gave to new students at Charles Sturt University.

The second demonstration will be IceSoccer, a game I am leading the development for. The single player element is almost finished, and the multiplayer element should be finished with a fortnight. You can see screenshots of the game at: http://icesoccer.shokem.com/.

6 Months

Okay, so I'm not exactly sure whether my girlfriend will actually like me posting this, but I must (if you see this post disappear, then she didn't like me posting it :P).

We have been together for 6 months today :D. It is rather EXCITING!!!

Unfortunately I am working flat out all day which sux as I'm not really going to get a change to talk to her for the greatest amount of time, and we are a few hours from each other so we can't really do anything :(.

However, that doesn't change how important she is to me and we are going to celebrate it next week when we are together. I can't wait! :D
