Crikey its Mid Term in GSoC.
Such fun, apart from being massibly behind but have made a hell of a lot of progress recently.
In other news Bungie Day 2009 was good fun, they ran a 35 map playlist, Bungie vs. The World, all the maps being created by the community.
Anywho not mych else coming up soon, but back to work now.
Quick Weekend Summary
There I was, all packed up and ready to go to Silverstone, to help a friend run a tent.
Phone them up, rang, and rang, to voicemail, left a voicemail.
Phoned the following day, same, and then phoned on Friday, still no answer.
So I didn’t go to Silverstone in the end, nice of a friend to actually say your not going, except they didn’t.
Let alone, the fact I told a known BBC Sports Reporter I was going, and they were going to come say hello, now I look like an Idiot.
In the end I got quite a lot done on 360gaming [dot] net, it now has working profiles and Windows Live Authentication, but now I must get back to my GSoC Project, I’m finally getting my head round the file structure for plugins, and will be teaching my new boss how to program a Pearl 2004 soon too.
Also I discovered I like Whiskey.
This week has been Busy and its Only Tuesday!
So Xbox Live is currently down, which has borked a shed load of sites related, for example all gamertag data, and my output over at H3Wheelmen is stuck saying X is online in Y, even tho Xbox Live is down.
Its rumoured they are doing some of the Xbox Updates needed for Facebook/Last.fm/Twitter support, and of course the up coming Sky TV for the UK.
We shall see.
In other news The Big Surf Island is now out for download on Xbox Live for Burnout Paradise, will be playing that later.
Its living dead in this Weekends Double XP for Halo3.
The new scripts for 360gaming [dot] net are coming along.
And Finally in Week 4 of Google Summer of Code 2009, I have started my Project, well got PHP5.3RC3 installed and running, as Aptitude CMS needs Namespace Support. Apparently PHP5.3 is going stable in a couple of weeks so I am told.
However Life has been strange this week, I’ve had some odd dreams before waking up, which have been really off putting, but the nature of the dreams means I should keep it quiet.
Anywho I am off to Silverstone this weekend, to help a friend run one of the VIP tents for the British Grand Prix, so it should be good fun
Time to get back to work, so catch you on the flip side
GSoC Its ON!
Woot I got accepted to Google Summer of code!
This year I shall be working with GeekLog and AptitudeCMS on a Syndication API.
This also means Summer will be code filled, and I’m back on Planet Soc! Rocking and rolling for another year.
Landon and Robby are also back on the Programmed! Thousand Parsec and OpenMRS Respectivly!
I’m off to work on the Wailers Gig at LUU today so will catch up with you all later!
HAWX, GSoC, Work, Conference, A Summary of the Week!
Well GSoC 2009 first stage is done, applications are now closed, next point on the timeline is the 20th of April, where we find out if we have been accepted.

In other News Work today and Sunday is cancelled since HarderTimez is no longer rocking in the Terrace as well as Stylus. On the up side (sorta) Sage (my bosses Boss) have got us in early on Saturday (well um today), 14 hour shift anyone? (Start 3pm finish 5pm)
Â
I purchased Hawx the other day for my Xbox360, enjoyed the demo. However the story might be a little short, finished in 8 hours, straight, on normal. So will up the difficulty and go again.
Flying with assistance off, is rather different, especially when in Expert Control Mode. But I digress.
Playing over LIVE is rather good too! Not tried Co-Op Yet tho.
Â
Finally its the final two days of prep for the Nation Student Radio Conference, to be held at University of Leeds, with LSRfm.com, and having been given a certain set of keys, life is a hell of a lot easier.
