The Menschkin: June 2004
http://menschkin.blogspot.com/2004_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 21, 2004. Petra's birth: only slightly abridged. Well, the last few weeks have been quite a blur. Petra Katharine was born on her due date, by Cesarean section as expected - but not scheduled C-section. (Yay! In one of her own children's births, so she knew whereof she spoke.). Our doula had called out helpfully, as I entered the OR, "You're having a baby! She said she got some weird looks from staff: "What, does she think she's having her appendix out after all that? My mom stayed for twelv...

More Lua bindings fun | realmensch.org

More Lua bindings fun. Ahh, the Android build process is always fun. In my previous blog post I talked about how huge LuaBind and OOLua were. Apparently I needed to do a clean build, though, because. Now I'm getting different numbers. The new numbers I was seeing was because I was reading their sizes wrong. Divided by two. I've updated the incorrect numbers in the previous blog entry. So my conclusion doesn't change, but it's much, much less drastic than I feared. Some of the original numbers were actual...

RIP Nokia | realmensch.org
http://realmensch.org/node/5
The big news today is that Nokia and Microsoft. Have created a partnership, and that Nokia will start selling smartphones based on Windows Phone 7 (WP7). As an app developer, I think this is a terrible idea. Having to support two phone ecosystems is annoying enough. Had Nokia adopted Android, as I'd fully expected them to, they would have had a chance. As of this announcement, I'm writing them off. By tim at 02/11/2011 - 09:29.

Raining (big) cats and dogs. Today we were enjoying a nice, warm day that made it seem like summer hadn't really ended.until about 2:16PM, when all of a sudden someone turned on the wind, which started gusting at over 30MPH, and which brought with it some clouds and fog that spattered rain all over us. So much for summer. :). In other news, they had to remove a mountain lion. By tim at 10/06/2011 - 15:27.

New And Improved Lua Bindings | realmensch.org
http://realmensch.org/node/10
New And Improved Lua Bindings. I wrote about the troubles I was having with Lua bindings. Some were too heavy, some were too flaky. And after spending all that time reviewing them, I ran out of time and had to pick one - and I made the mistake of picking a flaky one, with the result being that I have wasted a LOT of time over the past year fixing corner cases and issues with it. I just didn't want to go down that path. Lua is light enough that I'm shipping it in games, and the SDK already includes so...

Fun with Lua bindings. Edit on Jan 24, 2012:. A new Lua binding generator. Now takes top honors. I write game libraries first, and then games. It's in my blood, or at least I'm in a rut. One way or another, it's a habit that I find hard to break. And I've become a major fan of the programming language Lua. It's fast and small and easy to bind to C or C . Or so I thought. So I looked around at some of the automated C /Lua object binding options. I ended up evaluating a few:. And requires you to include a ...
