I don't know if I'd call VS's compiler excellent. It's certainly not terrible, but it's got a ways to go before catching up to Clang, GCC or Intel. Their IDE is top-notch though. The closest thing to it that I've used has been IntelliJ, though that's for Java.

After owning my monitor for over 2 and a half years, I have just discovered that it is adjustable. Like, the tilt of the actual monitor itself. For the entire time I have owned it, I have complained about its lack of adjustability. Today, I decided to disassemble the stand to have a look inside, just to make sure there really was no adjustment; lo and behold, there actually is a hinge mechanism inside of the stand. It's just really stiff, and before, I never applied enough force to get it to actually move, for fear of breaking something. Even now as I do tilt the monitor, the entire back side of the monitor's plastic housing bends. I dare not adjust it too often!

But yeah, for literally over 2 and a half years, my monitor was at a straight up and down angle, and hence, I was always viewing it from slightly above. Now it's actually pointed at my face.

For those wondering, it's some Acer monitor, 1600x900.

I think IntelliJ is probably better than VS IDE. Even with VisualAssist and a few other VS add-ons it doesn't perform as well and IntelliJ has enough of plugins to further the gap between them in terms of functionality.

1. First, reboot into safe mode.
2. Log into "safe mode" as a privileged user
3. Create a new temporary user with administrator privileges.
4. Log out of the current user account.
5. Log into "safe mode" as the new temporary admin user ("temp").
6. Rename the existing user account ("owner") to the new name.
7. Rename the existing (original) user folder to the desired new folder name.
8. Change the "ProfileImagePath" registry key to match the newly-renamed user.
9. Remove the temporary administrator user account ("temp," in this case).

So I think I have just switched from Chrome to Firefox. Got a little tired of Chrome's poor (highly aliased) font rendering on just about every website I go to.

And WOW! Firefox has approximately 10.3 million times as many options in the settings menu as Chrome has.

Noooooo you lost track of my post! I'm not a fan at all of Firefox (love me some Chrome!) so here's how to fix that problem (again - don't worry, I also had to find my old post and work out how to fix it again):

1). Go to chrome://flags/#disable-direct-write
2). At the top of your screen, highlighted in yellow, is an option to disable DirectWrite. Enable to this option.
3). Restart Chrome. Fixed!

---------------------------------------------------------

So my soldering job apparently was good, because my MPU-6050 works perfectly. AND I whipped up a quick serial communications DLL for DBPro so I could easily rotate a 3D box to the current angles of the physical chip. I intend to release the DLL later, but don't have time right now

Hopefully TGC realise that I'm still using DBPro because AppGameKit Tier 1 isn't extensible yet. Get a move on with that bit, Paul!

Another victory playing FFXIV I feel proud of.

Titan Extreme is one of the most annoying fights to beat on the game, because you're relying on people on being so well co-ordinated, one slightly mistakes can mean death, in fact, you can see it in the video below - quite early on in the fight one of the tank dies and is knocked out of the arena, so he cannot be revived. Most groups that would mean a wipe because it's a fight that needs 2 tanks (designed to tank the brunt of the enemy's hits), because Titan can gradually weaken the target tank's defense and it can end up they take a lot of damage, so they take it in turns tanking so the other can recover.

The other reason is because 2 other enemies appear and need to be tanked also. This means the healers have to work harder and nobody can tank the 2 additional enemies and the damage dealers just have to take the hits. I play as a healer, the healer class I play is a Scholar, which is an interesting kind of healer to play, because typically in an RPG your healer class will focus on having a strong burst of heals, but Scholar has a weaker burst but then focuses a little more on damage mitigation. For example, Scholar gets a spell called Adloquium which heals the target and then erects a shield mitigating damage for the same amount, if this move gives a critical hit, then the effect of the shield is doubled. So you might heal 1000hp and get a shield of 1000hp, then crit for 1500hp and then get a shield of 3000hp.

Is also different in that it uses a pet (a wee lil faerie) as well to aid in healing. Whilst folk might think it's therefore easier because you've got an AI to assist, but I choose to micromanage to pet because it's a lot more efficient (so I turn the AI off and tell it what to do) and in a fight like the one below, it is almost vital that I do micromanage.




I encourage other people to play. There's very few MMO's that I actually enjoy, whilst I do feel the system is dumbed down, it still challenges you and is still very interesting to play. I tried playing WoW, but it was so, so, so, so dull and boring for me.

Just found this, they did a 16-bit version

Well what you linked isn't really IntelliJ, it's a different IDE. And I've found that getting a specialized C++ IDE is better than configuring another IDE for C++. Just my personal experience. I will look at CLion when it gets a little further along in development though.

Oh good grief, that folder does exist but because the installation failed over and over again it contains nothing, so if there was anything in there it's gone now.

I didn't think of running the installer in administrator mode the first time but did each subsequent time, that's probably what done did it in!

I think something else that's contributing to the failure of proper installation is that I installed VS2010 and VS2013 (weeks apart from each other) which made some of the C++ redistributables update, and it appears that the SDK attempts to install the same versions and thus it results in an error (because it doesn't want to overwrite the files).

However, I had better luck getting AppGameKit Tier 2 to work on Mac OS X, the only problems I had was that Xcode wanted to update some files and thus it broke links to the include files. I need to learn Xcode a bit better and learn how to relink things, and maybe, just maybe, I can start programming AppGameKit programs in C++!

I actually do enjoy programming on my Mac more than my PC (higher resolution = more code on screen = bigger cleaner font = happier programming).

Perhaps if I learn a bit more about Xcode and Tier 2 programming on Mac I can help TGC out with the guides for Mac and make them a little more clear, with screenshots? I feel screenshots would help.

Clonkex, you said you wrote the guides, right? Didn't you say you also have a Mac somewhere? Perhaps we can collaborate on this!

I got it working in ~0.79 seconds after I made sure Xcode didn't update the files.

Xcode really isn't *that* bad, but it does need a lot of improvement. Like I said earlier, I just need to learn everything about it (especially the new version) and then hopefully I can become pretty good with using it!

Swift looks like an interesting language to develop with as well, might look into that for general app development.

Incorrect. Sorry, there's not a single Mac in our household Well, technically there's an old PowerPC laptop, but it's truly ancient and is extremely difficult to make turn on.

----------------------------------------

My brother and I are FINALLY getting our internet back! Huzzah!

What do I mean? Well, our internet went like this:

- Have satellite for years, very fast downloads, very laggy (takes time for signals to get to LEO and back). Many times played Sauerbraten with ~1second of ping. Not so bad, very exciting to play with other people at that age.
- Sick of waiting to leave home before getting low-ping internet (impossible to get any kind of cable internet where we live), my brother and I come up with an ingenious plan to tether other unlimited 3G plans. Barely works due to extreme lack of signal (we live in the sticks), plan foiled.
- Spent many hours researching and discovered you can get things called patch leads that can plug into the backs of certain phones to connect an external aerial. My Galaxy S3 has a weak but functional factory testing port... hmm...
- Much discussion results in purchase of suitable patch lead. Whilst waiting for lead to arrive, I delve into the massively complex world of building antennas. Made a highly simplistic diamond antenna with fencing wire and random satellite-grade RF cable lying (laying?) around.
- Patch lead arrives. My skills in antenna-making pay off. Three blocks consistently! USB tethering hooked up to my PC, antenna cable run through wall, make-shift antenna stuck to PVC pipe nailed to outside wall of bus... let the online gaming commence!!
- Functional low-latency but also low-bandwidth internet becomes tempting. Mum and Dad want in on some of that speedy browsing, and offers to pay for the connection if they get access. Current set-up attached to my PC becomes inconvenient (PC goes off, so does speednet). Much research on my brother's part, much experimenting... hooks up USB tethering to Raspberry Pi as network sharing device with new, off-the-shelf aerial... PC-independent RPi setup is born!
- Non-exclusive access to 3G gives great browsing abilities... but also gives birth to greater freedoms. The ability to watch YouTube videos and download large files during the day is slowly realised, and browsing speeds decrease.
- Family members take more and more advantage of unlimited downloads and make it less and less viable to play online games. Waiting until midnight when they're all asleep becomes the norm. Mum and Dad are paying for the internet after all... can't really complain.
- A growing library of multiplayer games that can only be played at night starts to annoy my brother and I. We used to have exclusive access to fast, 3G internet, even if we had to pay for it...
- An attempt to play CS:GO for the first time in years results in mostly 500-800 pings due to people browsing. Lag frustrations push us over the edge. Quick eBay searching and ~$110 later and my brother and I FINALLY have our own internet back! Well, it's coming in the mail. Bought a new aerial, patch lead, SMA fm to FME fm connector and an SII with a cracked screen. HUZZAH! We're gonna have our internet back!

Well I would be willing to supply screenshots for the Mac guide in the nearish future, once I figure Xcode's interface out (they really changed a lot between Xcode 5 and Xcode 6!), but I suppose that would also have to approved by TGC support as well?

I bought and sample my first Cabernet Sauvignon last night.



Very warm, with undertones of toasted oak and hints of caramel, but it has a rather sour/bitter finish. There was also a hint of cherry but it was quite subtle.

Also it stained my tongue purple. Overall I liked it, probably will buy it again. It is not a wine you want to have to just drink - it's one that's perfect for sipping occasionally and enjoying the aroma and flavor while staring at a fire, or watching an episode of Frasier.

I want to start doing wine tastings, currently looking into local wineries to see if they do any. I love the taste of wine and want to get more familiar with it!

I definitely think I like wine more than I like beer. I'm not a big drinker by any means (in fact I HATE even getting tipsy as I feel like I'm a zombie and about to fall asleep), so anything I drink is for flavor, not effect. This is probably why I like wine a lot, because it actually has flavor to it (if it's a good one!).

Anybody else enjoy tasting various beverages of any kind?

@Yodaman Jer The whole time I read your alcohol post, I thought your post was written by Seditious for some reason. "That drink really has changed his writing style..." I couldn't help but thinking the whole time I read it.

Quote: "Anybody else enjoy tasting various beverages of any kind?"
Well water!!! Where I live, up in the rural sticks, there is no central chlorinated city water. Rather, each house has its own well. As with any well, lots of minerals get into the water, giving it a slight taste. The topography is largely varying here (mountains, rivers, etc), so each house really has its own, uniquely tasting water. Some houses, like my own, have great water. Other houses in the area really don't! Is well water considered a beverage?

I assume you are talking about the Oneplus. That icon theme is ugly but I think it gives you the option to use stock android icons when you first set it up. And you can go configure it later aswell.+

Does anyone here know why Skype rather frequently refuses to send messages? For quite some time now, I have been talking to a friend over Skype (instant messaging), and ever since the update came out a few weeks ago, their messages often don't get sent for long periods of time, up to three hours. It seems they can still see messages I send. Most of the time, of course, Skype works just fine both ways. Anyone have any clue why Skype is doing this?

Haha, thanks for the suggestion though. People really do love the water where I live. People come over and taste our water, and comment on how good it is!

Skype doesn't use central servers (at least, not for most messaging activity), so I would assume it's not too prone to overloading?

Watched every episode years ago. Really, really enjoyed that show

?! What's wrong with Android?? It's by far the best mobile OS available! Although I have to say I'm pretty upset with Google for some of the things they did in Lollipop, like taking away real auto-brightness and replacing it with adaptive. I mean, I actually want my screen to go from minimum brightness in the dark to maximum in the sun without having to tell it to! I'm also still not overly pleased with the new iOS-like notification shade...

Probably because his new avatar has orangy-yellow colours, similar to Seditious'.

Because he's TheComet. Isn't that enough?

Gonna play Don't Starve Together with my brother and two of my sisters today since Mum and Dad have gone to town for the whole day (I didn't even ask why because I don't care - we get the whole day to ourselves! ). Should be really fun. If not, we'll play GMod Murder cuz we know that's fun

Please. iOS is superior in every way except your ability to run stolen apps and change some colours or whatever you pro-customization android fans rant on about.
