Jungle Disk – continued
Feb 24th
So turns out Jungle Disk was not the culprit…it instead appears to be — NOD32? WTFARK. Dammit ESET!
Anyways, long story short – un-installing NOD32 and installing Microsoft Security Essentials (which is more than good enough anyways) seems to let me sync things. Jungle Disk is still giving odd errors but I’ll see if I can work through them.

…doesn’t really seem to work as advertised. The story starts a few days ago when I realized that my free dropbox account was nearing its full capacity. I contemplated creating a few ghost accounts to get that extra gig or so of free space but figured that eventually I’d end up in the same situation once again.

- Go to youtube.
- Upload the video(s).
- Enter all the information: title, tags, description, etc…

UDK TD – Unreal TD
Feb 6th
So early last semester I began some work on attempting to create my own TD (tower defense) game type on the Unreal 3 engine when UDK was released to the public. Unfortunately, work kinda halted after designing a basic level since I couldn’t get much of the things to work and there wasn’t much public documentation at the time. But, I’ve recently come across a crowd-control tutorial that seems to give me what I’d want for the creeps the towers would kill so looks like I’m going to give it another shot.
So far I’ve figured out how to[…] read more
