Note to self:
I should be sure to remember these things for when I'm testing my networking code.
Telnet for Windows sends data as you type it, without waiting for you to hit enter. Use the telnet client on Linux.
When sending character data from telnet, telnet doesn't append the null character, as expeected.
When sending character data from telnet, telnet appends a newline character, as expected.
When sending character data from telnet, telnet DOES append a carriage return character, which was completely unexpected.
Other than that hiccup, my login server is coming along. I'll want to switch over to PostgreSQL at some point, and use OpenSSL sometime around when I consider my project to be in the beta stage. It's been a while since I've done anything in C, so I'm hoping that I'll start to speed up as I refamiliarize myself with it.
Oh, and May the 4th be with you.

Uppy
So after years of neglect and nearly abandoning the project, I've officially released a really bare bone version of Uppy. I'm considering it a pre-alpha, with a fairly quick turnaround time to being finished. Go have a look here

AI Certifications
So a ways back I was part of the inaugural class of Peter Norvig and Sebastian Thrun's AI course at Udacity. While I was a bit disappointed with my score and rank (even after taking into account survival bias), I made it through and was invited to take part in Thrun's AI for Robotics course, for which I had to learn Python on the fly. I say learn, but it's more accurate to say I've been exposed to Python. Anyways, I passed and learned quite a bit in the process. Udacity has changed since then, as they no longer have free classes with certificates, but since I was early I got 'em. These are the certifications I received.

RetroPie
A friend of mine picked up a Raspberry Pi with the intentions of putting "an emulator" on it. I figured he was just going to attempt to put MAME on it and call it a day. Instead he put RetroPie on it. I was impressed. I'll add more about it later on the projects page.

Star Wars Force Collection Trade Rater
I just finished up the last bits of a little script to tell if a trade is good or not in Star Wars Force Collection. I have to add some cards yet but other than that and adding new cards as they come out, I'm calling it done. I've added it to the portfolio page. I'm also adding a direct link here.

Minor Tweaks
I've started working on this page again. I have to fix some small things like a couple of overlays, and otherwise polish a couple of things up, but it's finally online. I have a few projects lined up that I'll be adding to the projects page as progress warrants.
