I haven't posted in a little over a week, so I'm just going to throw in a quick post. I've been working with my Nexus One recently. I'm working on a Hexagonal game with OpenGL, and it's going pretty well. It has a pretty nice texture engine and it's running at a pretty consistent 40-45 fps on my N1. I know it can be quicker, but 45fps is quick enough... for now...
Also, my dad and I went on a hike today. TBH, I'm not that into the great outdoors due to it's lack of electrical plugs. However, this hike was pretty cool since, while hiking, we saw loads of tiny critters, and I must say I'm a big fan of those. ;)
First up were the newts. I love newts! They're slow, and clumsy, and these ones have an extremely potent neurotoxin in their skin that causes seizures. (It's the same toxin found in the puffer fish, called tetrodotoxin.) That's why these guys are still alive, even though they're slow and clumsy. Here's one right now:
He was pretty cool. All-in-all, we saw 24 newts, 2 banana slugs, an alligator lizard, a few freaky looking birds, and a couple butterflies.
Oh, and on the way to the hike, I was checking up on some of the blogs I follow, and I noticed that loads of people on Planet Ubuntu were reporting their Nerd Scores, so I decided to get myself tested...
That is the highest score I've seen yet... I'm not entirely sure if I should be proud of that or not, but I decided to post it here anyway.
BTW: I took the picture of the Newt with my Nexus One, and left the GPS coordinates in the EXIF data, just in case anyone wants to take a neat hike, and see a ton of Newts... Just watch out... There is a LOT of poison oak on that trail...
Edit: I've finally seen someone with a 100 nerd score, and heard of a 99, so I'm thankfully not the biggest nerd out there anymore. :)
