I only got into the SGA series this year—at the start of the year I binge-watched the first four seasons in one sitting.

Heh, this was originally meant to be a private little space. For one, I could collect fun stuff, write second-rate articles to bask in my own glory, and draw third-rate doodles to admire in solitude. For another, I could secretly subject WP to arbitrary, inhumane, destructive torture, abuse, and repair testing.

No matter how much of a force I am in strategy games, I’d still rather play simulation-style development games — which is exactly why I like Rise of Nations. Even in C&C-General (Command & Conquer: Generals), I like to pick the terrorist organization and grow a thriving little Arab town. By comparison, C&C3 Tiberium Wars gives you no room to play for development. I’m crazy about C&C3, but in the end I found that aside from the absolutely gorgeous battle scenes and a pace so fast your fingers cramp, it never gave me the feeling I was looking for — and the game is so damn huge.

This online game is seriously strong — it might just make it big. After all, all kinds of wild, offbeat ideas can be openly explored and built out here. And the dev team’s bold exploration and fearless attitude will make this game grow fast.

Finally saw Jumper, which I’d been looking forward to. Disappointed — the plot is a mess, zero logic. Then again, it was always going to be a surreal movie.

Check out the hilarious online games - http://www.i397.com/html/wangyouxinwen/20080706/517.html The most embarrassing knockoff online game in history: “Xianjian Jianghu OL” The knockoff crowd has really infiltrated every corner of our lives. Knockoff phones, knockoff MP3 players, knockoff PSPs, knockoff Wiis are all the rage, and now knockoff online games have even appeared—of course, they must be made by Chinese developers.

I’ve been reading 《大话设计模式》 lately. It really is a great entry-level book on design patterns—plain and accessible, explaining deep ideas in simple terms. You get a feel for the great wisdom embedded in the evolution of design, and for the scenes in the joys and frustrations of a programmer’s life that are worth reliving again and again.

I’m not doing .net for now — I’ve gotten interested in PHP, so I’m learning PHP while working on it. There are a shocking number of baffling things in the beginner stage; good thing I was mentally prepared. Last night I ran into a problem: in PHP, session_start() always threw an error: Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at D:wwwrootEZineTest.php:1) in D:wwwrootEZineTest.php on line 1 I searched all over the web and found three explanations and fixes for it:

After getting home, I finished putting together the computer I use at school. The day before yesterday I was using it at home when the mouse suddenly died — the scroll wheel lost its scrolling function for no reason and turned into a free-spinning wheel… I swapped in the old mouse from home, and it worked. ^_^ Yesterday morning, the mouse pad was so dusty that the optical sensor couldn’t track properly, so I tossed the mouse pad off to the side to cool down. Yesterday evening, the replacement mouse died too — the wheel rolled, the left and right buttons clicked, but it wouldn’t move. Looked like it had been hit with a paralysis spell… No choice — I went out that night and bought a new mouse…
