It was my birthday.

I turned 21 eleven days ago. There were lots of caek to be had! It was a pretty alright day. Being 21 doesn't feel any different from 20, and being 20 didn't feel any different from 19, except for the occasional back pain that I started to experience recently. It's either my chair or my bed that's killing my back. I'll be getting around to replacing both soon.I implemented some additional features in TriviaFrenzy (my entry for the OpenAIM competition) which include a general chat section, the ability to save preferences for future visits (handled automatically) and retrieval of the user's buddy list. Making use of wimas3 (an ActionScript 3 library that interacts with WebAIM for Flash/Flex/AIR apps) made a lot of things easier since I opted for the WebAIM API. I initially spent a lot of time trying to decipher how to make proper use of the WebAIM API, especially the request-signing part (Curses!) and then wimas3 was recommended. If only I had discovered the library earlier; but it's all good.
So I've been playing Eve for a while now and I actually do like it. I initially started with a trial account in December during the holiday period and didn't get to do anything productive for 14 days! Okay, maybe less, but yeah, I was addicted to the game. It's pretty neat. I paid for a month's subscription and got into it for a while, but actually decided to take a break after the first month because for someone who isn't usually productive, productivity was going down the drain. Okay, I lied. I had to use the cash for some other useful resources. I renewed my subscription a week ago, and yeah, it's still nice. I'm currently considering getting into PvP (Player vs Player) matches, after I finally raise enough money to purchase a battleship. Eve is fun.
I still haven't obtained the Orange Box (Blasphemy! I know), but I'm working towards that. I'd probably organise a competition to give away free copies of Half-Life 2 and Half-Life 2: Episode One since I already own them and I'd be getting extra copies as part of the Orange Box package. I'm too lazy to do a proper competition so it's only going to be a simple program to pick a random name from a list of names.
In other news, I subscribed to the Microsoft Action Pack after I stumbled across this and all I can say is that it's awesome! For $295, you get quite a lot of software to use. I just received the April update yesterday which includes a license for Windows Vista Ultimate. I agree. Microsoft rock!
