| PEngine4 MVC coming soon! | 2012/12/13 4:32 PM |
While it might appear that the engine driving this site (aka PEngine) has been allowed to atrophy and die over the last few years, nothing could be further from the case. I've spent a great deal of time over the last few weeks slinging code for the upcom

| PEngine.core beta is live! | 2017/10/2 3:28 AM |
Let me start this off by saying: It's been a hell of a journey. The last time I ported this app to a new platform was back in late 2012 when I ported it to ASP.NET MVC. I honestly forgot how much work it was. But it was worth it. So worth it.

| Ode to GoldBox RPGs | 2015/5/19 2:33 AM |
As many of you know, I self identify as a retro and an indie gamer. That pretty much means that for the most part, I don't play many of the modern AAA games out there. Of course as a retro gamer, one must avoid going full hipster (otherwise known as ass

| Notable Principles for 2018 | 2017/12/26 2:41 PM |
With the new year right around the corner, it seems its the expected time to make a few resolutions. Though I have gone out of my way to largely ignore this practice, at the end of 2016 I made my first resolution in over a decade. That resolution was, &

| New Theme | 2013/8/1 9:45 PM |
Because making the existing theme responsive just wasn't enough - I've finally decided to give this site the visual overhaul that it has been begging me for. This is of course long overdue as the existing theme has existed in one form or another for at l

This morning I felt like writing a piece about a subject that is very near and dear to my heart: Net Neutrality. Though as I started I got a feeling of Deja Vu. Oh wait. I already wrote that post, didn't I? After taking some time to reread it, I'm pre

| My Ode to Rogue-Likes | 2018/5/16 1:19 AM |
Everybody knows that I love to play RPGs (Role Playing Games). In fact I love them so much that over the last few years I mostly stopped playing games from every other genre. Despite that, my love for RPGs has begun to wane a bit in recent years. While

Most who know me have at some time or another heard me profess my love for Retro and Indie gaming. At the heart of this love however is a growing and increasingly cancerous disdain for modern gaming that I have finally decided to no longer ignore.

| Low Code Software Development Is A Lie | 2023/4/14 8:36 PM |
I've been writing custom software for a long time and one of the things that annoys me most is when a client adopts the position that there is a silver bullet which will reduce or remove the inherent complexity of this task. This happens more often than
