OS Developing Blog

Today I would like to share a neat OS dev blog. This blog is filled will lots of neat information about the OS. I began following this blog from when it was first made. Currently the blog has covered the basis of hardware components, basics of an OS, and is now leaning into C++. Later on the blog will focus on OS dev as the owner creates his own OS. What I enjoy about this blog is that you can also learn from it too. I enjoy every post it gives and they are very well written. If you are interested in OS development or just want to learn a few things I recommend this blog!

Age of Empires Online Treasure Bug

Recently found a bug in AOEO. Basically you can't claim a treasure after you kill the guardians every once and awhile. This bug has not happened in co-op though. So I try to play as much co-op as I can. It really gets annoying when there are 4 treasures sitting in front of you and you can't take them.  I hope they fix this bug soon, I want to get all my treasure instead of just some.

New Freeman's Mind: Episode 38!

Freeman's Mind episode 38 is out finally!

Chrome Increasing Popularity

Source: StatCounter Global Stats - Browser Market Share



July 2010 - 2011 statistics show that Chrome is increasing its popularity while Firefox and IE slowly grow less popular. I myself use Chrome simply because I like its clean design and speed. By the looks of it Chrome will end up rising above all browsers.

Bought Age of Empires Online Greek Civilization

Just bought the Greek civilization pack on AOEO so I get all of the content. Without this I was left with little to nothing. I couldn't get the most out of the game without paying for it. When I was in the beta we were given the full game and I assumed that I would get the same when the game came out. I was mistaken. I gave it a day then I decided I was going to buy the Greek civilization to get the full game. It was only $20 CAD, to me that is a great price because most games nowadays are at least $60 CAD. Anyway I've been playing it and have enjoyed it a lot. I enjoy the AOE series and am glad to have this one too. If you enjoy strategy games or any of the AOE I would suggest you give this game a try and may end up buying it. You don't have to be the Greeks, you can be the Egyptians if you want too.

Age of Empires Online is Out!

AOEO is now out and it looks to be fun. When the beta was out I played it and it was amazing. The first time I looked at it I thought it was going to suck, but once I played it my perspective changed.

I like how they added a more complex trading system, you are able to bid and trade with other live people instead of the basic AI trading. Overall I like how you are playing with other people instead of alone. If you like the AOE series I would recommend this one!

Swarmanoid - Technology Getting Better

Found this really neat video about Swarmanoids. Technology is getting better and it looks awesome! The video shows three types of robots working together to retrieve a book. It amazes me that they can communicate to complete a task.
