Halo Again…

Tuesday October 23rd 2007

After spending several hours on Saturday playing through Resistance: Fall of Man on the PS3, I got to thinking about my apathy for Halo. Why was I so immersed in the former, yet so uninterested in the latter title.

I mean, all those people who revere Halo as the best game ever cant be wrong… right?

On Sunday afternoon I decided to turn back the clock and re-install Halo on my PC, where, thanks to the unrelenting march of technology, I’d be able to play it with all the detail and effects maxed out for what should be the ultimate Halo experience.

Rethently, with the weather getting colder, I’ve been drinking from my thermal mug. Mothtly jutht in the car in the morning, but at the weekend there I uthed it all the time.

The good thing about drinking from a thermal mug ith that your tea or coffee thtays warmer for tho much longer. And, after a few dayth, your toungue ith tho numb from being burnt that you really don’t notith the pain.

More JSP Woes

Monday October 15th 2007

Please edit the commit comment:

Okay…

Changed the accountName field to a proper <input> tag instead of the <wwhtml: templating method. Mostly because the type attribute was incorrectly "input" instead of "text", and I couldn't fix it in its <wwhtml: form. I also have no idea why we're templating/extrapolating an <input> tag. Unless there's a HUGE performance gain to be achieved I just don't see the need for further obfuscating what's already a pretty contrived templating system. Christ knows how JSP developers ever arrive at a website at the end of a project. They must spend an eternity running rings around themselves by exploding every single page into a bazillion seperate files just for the sake of it. I mean, I can understand all that crap if you're a contractor who's paid by the hour and you're trying to string a three month project out into the kind of time-frame normally reserved for building skyscrapers, but when it just makes the directory structure look like the debris field resulting from throwing a hand grenade into a well stocked filing cabinet... well, I cant see the benefits there.

Still, at least it'll validate now, though.
