2010 – The year we make contact
Well it’s here, it’s the year we make contact, according to Arthur C. Clarke. So far all I’ve made contact with is the ceiling with a paint brush…
I’m still unemployed and looking for work is starting to get me down, I mean how many times can you search for work to find no jobs that you can do before you want to kill yourself? I’m not quite there yet, but not far from it.
On a brighter note I did some work on a new console system for the DS, but instead of using the ByteMap Font files that I used in the graphical console, I started from scratch and created my own font file format that supports Unicode fonts, and got a basic version working using the 16 colour tile mode, I’ve got a couple of tests to write but it’s working as long as you are aware of the limitations of the tile mode.
My main New Years resolution this year is to attempt to keep this blog updated more often than I have in the past – hopefully it will work this time…
