It seems that in my “old age” my taste is beginning to change. Taste in games, movies and such. I remember when Modern Warfare first came out I was not even remotely interested. I am not big on war games or realistic modern combat games. I played Ghost Recon back in the day and dropped …
Disk Drive Disaster
I imagine there’s a special place in Hell for people who don’t backup their important files. If there is, I am sure they are saving a spot for me :). You probably get tortured by having to recover your drive with nothing but a Windows recovery disk and a few floppies and if you actually …
C++ Constructor Confusion
I never got a chance to finish my implementation of GLSL hardware shadow mapping two years ago when I built my EnLight engine and I’ve been struggling with the idea of starting work on it again but somehow between work and everything else in two whole years I haven’t written a single line of code …
Games, Games, Games
Today is my country’s national holiday – we celebrate the day we became an independent, united country, after the first World War so, of course, I spent some time with my dear…well…games! A good day to you!
What's In A Name?
Juliet: “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.” It came to my attention that “Things That Matter” didn’t really make sense in the current context – the posts I have so far – so I’ve changed the name of the blog to something more …
Be The One…vs 100!

Modern Warfare 2: Too Real For You?
Hello all, I’ve been away for a while and I am a rather lazy blogger it seems, I don’t blog as much as I’d like. Even my console blogs more than me :). But let’s move on. While I feel that my opinion on games and other entertainment products might not be very important as …
Windows 7: The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship?
Microsoft is making a big marketing push for Windows 7, including the somewhat hilarious Windows house parties(really now?), so I decided to share a bit about my experience with Windows 7 so far. First of all, let me tell you a few things about my history as a Windows user. I started with Windows 95 …
Router Trouble
I am the owner of a wonderful Asus 500g Premium router. I say ‘wonderful’ because this is one solid device: 32 MB of RAM, 8MB of writable flash memory, 2 USB 2.0 ports(yes, 2) and a MIPS-based 266MHz CPU. It might not seem like much but in the embedded world this is a good device. …
Moving Day
Quick update. I will be collecting content from my other blogs and publishing what I feel it is still relevant here. The plan is to use only this blog and delete or close my other ones. Posts will appear with old dates and go to the back of the archive. I might update their timestamps …
