      You mean you live in a city that has 'no smog' (or that people don't smoke)

    4. Pengwin

      Pengwin

      I mean I gave up cigarettes

  2. Pengwin

      wo to go man! Being a non-smoker will be the best choice you ever make for your health. Not to mention the money you save. Be sure to put your smoke money to the side and save up for something nice.

      To be honest, if somebody hadn't told me it was "there", I never would have seen it.

       

      Stunning pictures of the Martian surface, though. It's amazing how far we've come since Viking I and II.

    Is it just me, or does anyone else think that joysticks were better before they started to put micro-switches in them?

      Same answer here ... no. Although my PS2 guitar hero needs a new one.

    3. Pengwin

      Pengwin

      Guess it's just me then. :-)

      No man, microswitches are great, but leaf switches are even better!

      A perfect gift? Sure I will take4 it then, sure as hell would not pay for that!

    4. Pengwin

      Pengwin

      OK, so maybe 'perfect' wasn't the right word. Maybe if it was an 800XL case and a lower price tag...

    Taken into hospital last night with chest pains… turns out I had a REAL bad case of indigestion :-(

      This reminds me of an episode of Louie. I won't spoil it for you if you haven't watched it. I won't even tell you which one, watch them all!

    3. RickR

      RickR

      Don't feel too bad...it is pretty common to confuse indigestion with heart attacks. And on the bright side, you didn't have a heart attack!

    4. Bryan

      Bryan

      Shoulda asked someone to pull your finger.

  8. Pengwin

    Quick heads up: Avoid my place tonight. Haven't had a smoke since NYE and am likely to rip your arm off for one cigarette right now.

    1. mimo

      mimo

      keep going mate, I gave up 6 years ago. Can't even stand the smell now. How to stop smoking by Dr Allan Carr got me through

    2. Lord Helmet

      Lord Helmet

      Keep it up man!

    3. Pengwin

      Pengwin

      Thank for the encouragement, guys. I'm not following any plan by anyone, apart from looking at it as getting my life back, rather than giving anything up.

  9. Pengwin

    After not smoking for 16 days...I had a ciggie tonight...damn it's awful!!

    1. so_tough!

      so_tough!

      my sis did the same, after 12 days..actually I think she had a whole ten pack lol

    2. Bryan

      Bryan

      Oh no! Go to your room and think about what you've done!

    After years of using cross platform tools, I am finally getting around to learning Cocoa with Objective-C

    1. Ransom

      Ransom

      Cool! I think Objective-C is a great language, and Cocoa's a really nice library. Have fun!

    2. Albert

      Albert

      Objective-C and Cocoa are both great, although Cocoa can be a bit overwhelming! I will be developing iOS apps soon!

    3. Ransom

      Ransom

      You're right, Cocoa is huge. If you know C plus the basic OO concepts, picking up Objective-C is a snap. But there's a huge learning curve for Cocoa.

    During my self-imposed retro gaming exile, I am strangely addicted to Mr Robot and His Robot Factory :-/

      Gaming goodness - love that game. Nice music, too.

      Dunno what happened when I retweeted that.

    Just played the Star Raiders remake on XBLA. What a travesty, Atari should be ashamed.

  15. Pengwin

    Just got a new phone for £10, with £10 free credit. So basically, a free phone!!

    1. Master Phruby

      Master Phruby

      Plus the monthly charges for insurance and "privilage of having the phone" tax for two years.

    2. Pengwin

      Pengwin

      No monthly charges nor tax, I only use pay as you go.

    Programming in 652 assembly is fun

    1. Bryan

      Bryan

      What is this 652 you speak of?

    2. Pengwin

      Pengwin

      Well it should have been 6502, but I think the 0 got stagefright

      When smoking around kids becomes illegal, she can turn him in for child abuse.

      Keep at it. Just think of the money you'll save. Your friends and family will also thank you for it.
