Theory of Fun
By Colin Pinnell July 9, 2012 - 12:16pmAmidst studying for my last final, I have been thinking about the video game I was planning on writing in my last blog post. I don't want it to be very big, or very complicated - I want something that someone could play on their phone or tablet, or...Summertime Swing, Unity Project, Wild Fantasies
By Colin Pinnell July 6, 2012 - 9:08amHi, everyone! Summer is here and there' a reduction in my online time, which is a good thing - being in correspondence school means long hours at a desk, which isn't such a healthy thing. My slipped disc is improving slowly, though, so I'll count my...English Expositions
By Colin Pinnell February 22, 2012 - 11:39am Comments (1)One of my courses this semester is an English course. Nothing too serious, just an intro course - I'm not too worried about it in all. I've written creatively, technically, and (obviously) for journals, so I have a few miles of text under my wheels....Probability 0 != P(x) != 1
By Colin Pinnell February 21, 2012 - 11:20amI'm taking a basic Stats course right now - I've taken it before, but it's been too long, and I could use the refresher as well. Nothing new here, but in reading the textbook, something jumped out at me that sort of bugged me. It's this. 0 <=...Computer Ergonomics in the Office
By Colin Pinnell February 16, 2012 - 12:57pmHi, everyone. Today I'm showcasing an assignment I put together for my COMP214 course, as a follow-up to yesterdays' post. Now don't worry, it's already been graded (full marks!) and I'm not displeased with my investigative journalism, but I'd like...Human - Computer Interactions
By Colin Pinnell February 15, 2012 - 12:54pm Comments (6)Hello, Landing! As promised a month ago, I am now ready to resume my textventures in the blogosphere. I'll be catching up on what's happened on the Landing over the past two months, plus doing some more writing. In particular, I'm taking two...We're Back! And - Boxie?
By Colin Pinnell January 14, 2012 - 1:43pm Comments (2)That's that! I'm back in the comforting arms of civilization once more, and with every day Fort McMurray seems like it's receeding further and further into history. Thank goodness! I'm rather pleased to be back here and settling into life as a full...Last Week, Telepathy Troubles
By Colin Pinnell December 12, 2011 - 11:16amToday is the last Monday I will be spending up in Fort McMurray and under the employ of this company, and I have been both dreading and eager for this week to get here. My eagerness is obvious - I really don't like this job and haven't for a few...Two Great Techs That Taste Great Together
By Colin Pinnell December 9, 2011 - 10:00amI've got a friend who's a rather high up muckety-muck in a rather well known computer services company which shall remain nameless. I got him to talk a bit about the needs of his company, and how an advance in AR technology would aid him. He...In Which The Author Reveals Unrealistic Expectations
By Colin Pinnell December 8, 2011 - 9:05am Comments (4)I've been reading some theses - browsing, really - on research into augmented reality and mobile computing.
