Indy games

Today I downloaded a couple old games for the Indy I've got sitting on my desk. Fun stuff. Right now I'm trying to take a shot at mastering Lumbus, a game controlled via your head. It uses image analysis on the IndyCam to attempt and determine the 3d movement of your head. Crazy stuff.

I'm proud of myself. I just wrote my first Perl/GTK app that actually does something useful. For a while I've been meaning to write a little app to edit MP3 ID3 tags, so now I have a little app to do just that (as well as change the info in the db, so it shows up on this site). Fun fun. And it basically all worked first go.

I bought PJ Harvey's new cd on Thursday, and I have to say that it's already my favorite PJ Harvey CD (and I do have pretty much all of them). "The Mess We're In", "We Float", and "Big Exit" are all great songs, and the CD doesn't really have any bad ones. It's a bit short at only 47 minutes and change, but that's the only negative bit in a great CD.

Eric Richardson lives in Atlanta, Georgia, where he works on payments infrastructure for Cash App.

Past lives involved streaming audio for Southern California Public Radio, running a hyperlocal news site for Downtown Los Angeles, working on custom mapping code, and writing Perl at the Jet Propulsion Labratory.
