The nightmare never ends… in the beginning writing C++ for the GCC was better than MSVC. The template support was much better. To be exact the C++ compiler of Visual Studio 6 had minimal support for templates. You could do something in GCC and then find out that it doesn’t compile under Visual Studio 6. […]

Yes, it is true… after 18 years Greece gets the gold again at Eurobasket. I was a little boy when we got the last one and it was thrilling. I don’t know if yesterday was as thrilling as the previous one, and I certainly don’t know if it is because I changed or the world […]

Yesterday I opened my e-mailbox and found a message from Tobias Robison. Tobias was kind enough to do some editing of my scripting-game-engines article/post, to improve my english.
I updated the article, so now you can read it again and enjoy it twice
Thank you very much Tobias !!!

Woke up this Sunday morning to find out that the post I wrote some time ago about game scripting with stackless python was boldly enjoying a place at Slashdot’s main page!
As you probably know slashdot is a huge traffic feeder and the web server was serving out pages like crazy!
I noticed that there […]

Recently a friend of mine joined the army. Every man in Greece must spend a year serving the Greek Army. In general it is waste of time, because for a year you do nothing. Anyway it is a bit subject to discuss now. To make you get a picture this friend of mine called me […]

Yes they convinced me to read it after all. I’m referring to the book by Dan Braun. I actually liked The Da Vinci Code when I read it but had no intension reading Illuminati. Having nothing else handy to read and with the suggestion of many-many people to read it, I decided to try it.

As I said before on an other post, I’m a big bug stumbler. I’m attracted by them. So you can imagine what was my experience with beta OpenGL drivers. Hell. Things working on my machine, not working on others, things not working at all, blue screens, hitting unoptimized paths with low performance… and the list […]

by Harry Kalogirou
A friend asked me some time ago if the implementation of the heap data structure in the STL has update functions. He couldn’t find any documentation about an update_heap() function. He was as sure as I was (some time ago) that there must be one, but he can’t find it. I can understand him.

I can’t get used to it. I simply can’t. I just finished invigilation for “Computer Networks”. The exams was 3 hours. This must be the proof of relativity. These 3 hours seems like ages. According to my estimations the first hour lasts as much as it is supposed to, 1 hour. The next hour […]
