A fond farewell(ish).

I'm not really going anywhere, just have too many things on my plate to be able to really fulfill my obligations as an Admin on the site. Even now I'm risking getting in trouble for this post, but thought with the name color change I should nip any rumors in the bud. GenMac and I are still buddies, ...

Use it or lose it?

So, I've been back in English speaking land (or the American approximation of it) for almost a year now.

Re: Google cardboard

When it comes to capabilities, what are you referring to? Video processing power I assume? Phones are crazy powerful in this respect actually... More than you're giving them credit for. The Tegra 4 chip coming from NVidia for example; Cortex A15 core, 72 GeForce GPU cores. 6x stronger than the previ...

Been busy working on my retirement plans. Hopefully by this time 2017 (or sooner) I'll be back in the kingdom not having to worry about working anymore. Free to work on my own projects, or my tan, as I choose.

Re: Visual Studio cross platform is now released, and free!!
