I intended to write something that was quick and concise, and that would be easy to reuse. Using a typical OO approach, I finally came up with ‘Pyela – Python Eternal Lands API’. Pyela is [...]

Being quite old, the Presario doesn’t have the best of specs: AMD64 [...]

I’d not played on it a for a while, what with work being busy, Anarchy Online keeping me addicted and minor programming projects outside of work. Chatting with a brother’s friend led me [...]
