I recently started doing yet another thing which will cause me never to update this blog. Nullary Sources is a Tumblr blog I write with cool dude Colin Barrett. We’ve talked about starting something like it for a while, but much to our surprise, it finally happened. It’s been active for a little more than [...]
I’ve been knocking a game idea around in my head for a little while: a maze game where you can move any number of squares in a straight line, but once you move by a specific number of squares, you can’t move by that exact number again. I thought it was a pretty interesting idea, [...]
There’s this one guy on the internet named Peter Hosey who recently started a blog feature called “Ship-It Saturday,” where he’s posting projects that are basically done save for maybe one or two niggling things, in the interest of just getting them done I mean seriously come on. I’ve been thinking about it since he [...]
Ages ago, for the VG Frequency blog, I wrote a series of posts spotlighting some lesser known composers of video game music whose works I greatly enjoy. Each of these posts contained a list of the games they’d composed music for, just as a flat text file. Since writing those posts, I’ve become really unhappy [...]
This blog now has a profile page. For the first time since its registration three years ago, quiteajolt.com has content. Also, Interjacent Porphyry has been back in business for a couple of months, but I forgot to make a post announcing it.

I’ve decided to go with Barthelme as the new theme. Haven’t really made any structural changes to it, but then again, my previous theme was just a thin coating over Kubrick, so I’m not exactly forging new ground here on the frontier of using canned themes. Barthelme was one of the only themes I found [...]
Well, it’s been less than a month since my last post, so there’s some definite progress on the regularity front. Tonight I updated WordPress to version 2.5, which of course is not particularly notable for any reason, but I did so by checking out the 2.5 tag using svn instead of following one of the [...]
“Reasons for the dearth of recent updates.” I’m back to college next week, so maybe things’ll pick up then.
Summer of Code is a very interesting, very neat program run by Google. Basically, it’s like a virtual internship with an open-source “company”; you essentially become a developer for an open-source project for the summer, implementing a project for which you submitted an application. Of course, it wouldn’t be an internship without pay: $4500 for [...]
