AC Toolkit hack to fix grass
So while reading about Animal Crossing: City Folk earlier, I tried to find a way to restore some of my grass, which has been wearing away to brown dirt everywhere. Turns out there’s quite a stink over the “feature” Animal Tracks that Nintendo built into the game. The idea was that grass [...]
Animal Crossing and Photoshop
I just finished a long bout of Animal Crossing: City Folk with Jon’s sister-in-law, who recently got the game. I was quite tickled to see that her town’s native fruit is oranges, whereas mine is cherries, so we were able to trade and now I have another fruit that’ll get me 500 Bells [...]
C# and Visual Studio
Yarr, so work at HP has been good; I’m enjoying my time there. I’ve worked from home a few times, which has been nice: there’s nothing quite like coding in your pajamas and getting paid for it. I’ve mainly been writing PL/SQL queries and programming in C#. I was apprehensive about [...]

Animal Crossing City Folk error
FYI for anyone who has a similar issue: I tried to play Animal Crossing City Folk on the Wii and after opening up my game, it suddenly gave the Wii error message “An error has occurred”, along with telling me to hit Eject, remove the disc, and turn the power off. I was able to [...]

Save this Rake task in your lib/tasks/ directory in your Rails app, and [...]

Ruby
class Symbol

games and finals
I’ve been playing American McGee’s Alice recently and seeing all the environments and their beautifully detailed textures again, especially with my new video card, has made me want them as wallpaper and flooring in The Sims 2. I remember for the original Sims game, I found a huge collection of Alice walls and floors [...]
C++ shell with forks and pipes
As an assignment for my operating systems class, we were to write a shell in C or C++. I'm putting my work here under the GNU General Public License v3 in hopes that it will be helpful for someone else, presumably some future student arguing with the C language, which I find infinitely frustrating to work with sometimes.

Well, Todd left for Ireland last night, and he should’ve arrived there sometime very early this morning, at least by Eastern Standard Time. I won’t see him for eleven days now, and I’m already kind of sad and missing him. My biggest worry whenever someone dear to me travels is that they’ll get [...]
