Odds and Ends

Busy last couple of weeks...  

Went to the Cleveland Browns last night after picking up tickets from my mom in Buffalo.  Long day of driving only to lose 10-6.  The leftover winds from Ike were brutal.  The tickets were waaaay up, but we were protected from most of the elements.  Thanks, bro.

On the way back from Buffalo, had a chance to play a quick nine on the long tees at Angola and actually did pretty good for me.  The only hole I blew was the 5th with a double-bogey, but I made it up with a couple of good holes to end up an even 36.  

This is good compared to the week before when I went to CCA.  Lost two discs on the first two holes and ended up getting only one hole in 4.  Everything else was 5's, shots over baskets, under baskets, past baskets, into trees, down hills...  The only time I've kicked my bag.  

Also managed a quick trip to Pymatuning and played white tees on the established nine there after work.  Felt good and threw pretty well... Ended up shooting 37 there and did pretty good at driving and putting.

As for game programming, taking my time.  I was working on an election/card thing, but it needs more work and I need to put it down.  I have switched back to PocketCiv for the meantime with a release tomorrow.

Been playing a fair amount of CivRev and that's getting a little old.  I like the early phases but a lot of the game is in the later phases which is all well and good, but I like the beginning of the game the best.  I've gone back to the Open Source goodie bag and I'm trying to wrap my head around FreeOrion because I never played Masters of Orion much, so it is a whole new ballgame.  I also tinkered with JRisk/Risk a little bit and like the Flash GUI they have for that game, enough to get me mildly interested in learning about Flash.
