Loopz - Day 1

Posted by , 22 July 2005 · 84 views

Okay. I'm counting this as the first day of the actual coding.The display list for the menu screen is done. Showing my rustiness a bit.

Another difficult week

Posted by , 04 June 2005 · 105 views

Maurita had a suspected minor stroke about 10 days ago. Was in pain all down the left side of her head and arm. She had no energy at all for about 5 days, where the pain was constant.
