Code Monkey…errr Donkey

September 24, 2008 // Posted by DeathDonkey in Life  |  No Comments

I am officially programming for DeucesCracked full time, well, this month. I have a bunch of random projects on my plate, but can try to highlight one that I have finally released for others to play with: HandFire: a FireFox extension for converting poker hands

I've been working on HandFire for awhile (along with help from much better programmers) and it still needs a lot of work, but I think its a pretty useful tool and hopefully will make poker forum-ing more efficient for everyone. Other than that, I've got some further fun stuff that ties in to the hand converter in the works, and just dipping my toes into actual code that might be used on DeucesCracked.

Good news to report from my house, I am no longer on antibiotics, my cats have significantly less fleas than they did a couple weeks ago (though non zero I fear), and all is pretty much stable. I haven't played much poker this month due to the aforementioned code monkeying, but I've been having fun anyway. Next month should be nice because I'll bounce around between coding, a bit of poker, hanging out with my wife's family who will be in town visiting (yay Disneyland annual passes), and whatever other nonsense comes up that I haven't prepared for yet.

My House Falling Apart

Currently I am on antibiotics for an infected arm (no cool story at all I'm afraid) and my cats have fleas. Fun times in casa de DeathDonkey :(

As a result of these distractions plus general distractions my programming projects are moving slowwwwwlyyyy but still coming along. Just took helpings of five different things at once and threw them on my plate and it seems like I hardly make a dent in any one of them before poking at another for awhile.

On the plus side check out my sweet Triple Draw series on DeucesCracked, and really all the series this season seem pretty awesome to me, the NL guys are outdoing themselves and we have a lot of random cool series ideas this season from my POV.

Ok off to battle fleas and infection, wonder what malady will befall my healthy wife? Hardly fair she gets to avoid this fun.

I probably just need to drink some:
