| Well, I got 5 A's for the semester, so I think it went well overall. I went skiing up at Northstar and Squaw Valley for one day each right at the beginning of my winter break, and it was very nice - fresh snow, sunny skies, hardly anyone else on the mountain. Since then I've been mostly relaxing, enjoying my time away from deadlines and scheduled lectures. I've been working on some Destiny3D code also, trying to open some content-creation channels so people can start actually getting their game content in the engine and see it in action. So far this has included a 3dsmax exporter (implemented through Flexporter which makes things quite easy although not as easy as they could be) and a .map compiler for handling the output from the various Quake-style editors around such as Hammer and Radiant. For Christmas I received a 256MB USB flash memory drive, and although it's not USB 2.0 it's still quite speedy. So far I've put some vital backups, application settings, and some hard-to-find downloads on it, and it's not even half filled up. I foresee this being very useful when carting data back and forth from my computer to labs or other people's computers. I hope everyone else is enjoying what time off they have for the winter (or summer if you're down under). I do know someone who hasn't had the best Christmas, and I hope things improve for them. |
