Had a pretty busy week so only completed a couple of tasks this week:
Went to the Unity meet-up and heard a good talk on Shaders

I feel like I should mark the occasion with some nostalgia laden review… Unfortunately I’m not very good at those so the best we can hope for is a vaguely coherent brain dump of the (larger) things I’ve done in the form of a bulleted list: Posted more than 70 times Learned a new programming language C# Begun to get to...

I’m still stunned that the ZenCart devs haven’t provided an interim release of ZenCart that’s compatible with PHP 5.4. Made some code changes to RF1 so it supports... Read on
