  • Fixing Trigger Finger?

    Since I got my pinkie injury while playing basketball 15 years ago, I have had a trigger finger, a symptom that prevents you finger to bend smoothly: Your finger will be locked somewhere in the middle, and you have to put more force to make it to snap-bend. Yuck….

  • Double the Budget for Free T-shirts

    I read something like this from a game business book, which I don't remember the title anymore (sorry it's been a while. If anyone let me know, I'll update this post):

  • Do Your Part for the Environment, Shaw

    Shaw communications is a load of bullcrap. I'm pretty sure any Shaw subscribers, whether it is cable TV, internet or digital phone, would remember that you were asked to switch to paper-free billing to save the environment. You even probably remember the following picture, which was mailed to you at least once or twice.

  • Crazy Eye Pain & Headache = MSG Side Effects?

    This morning, I woke up with some crazy eye pain, headache and nausea and I had no clue what caused it. This is my 2nd time having these symptoms. The first one was sometime last year when I had to call in sick. I usually don't have headaches. Just this one is too strong for me to do any normal works: the only thing I can do is just to lie down and do nothing.

  • TFSA over RRSP? Probably Not for Game Devs

    Since TFSA is introduced a few years ago, there has been good debates on which one one should max out first between TFSA and RRSP. And nowadays, a lot of financial advisers seem to advise TFSA over RRSP.

  • Lying Throughout Your Career

    There was someone who did (have to) leave my company recently. He is one of those people who have to jump around companies after short stays. Yeah, you know why. And today, I happened to read his blog post explaining why he was leaving. A lot of my co-workers enjoyed it because it reminded us of the Lord of the Rings, arguably the best fantasy fiction to date.

  • Animation Sharing between Different Characters with Same Topology in Unity

    So let's say you have multiple characters with different bone lengths, but you just don't have manpower to author different animations for all of them. Can we share animations, instead? Sure, why not, if you can live without transition and scale animations on joints: in other words, you are only gonna use rotations. Think it this way. When you rotate your right elbow inward by 90 degrees, your pose will look same as your shorter friend applying the exactly same rotation on his right elbow. Got it?

  • "Fix" for ESC Not Working While Photoshop CS3 is Open

    So I have had this problem where ESC stops working globally while Adobe Photoshop CS3 is open for a few years. CS5 doesn't suffer from this problem, but getting upgrade to CS5 was not easy because CS3 was the version we were using for Space Marine.
