[E3] Microsoft Press Conference

Breaking news. Microsoft announces WiiU for the Xbox 360.

But in all seriousness, despite starting with Halo 4 and ending with Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, the Microsoft panel has been nothing but a huge casual-fest with all the new Xbox entertainment products coming like Xbox Sport Center, Xbox Music, Xbox SmartGlass, IE for Xbox, Nike+ Kinect, and games like Wreckateer and Dance Central 3's mini Usher concert.

Post Press Conference: Gears of Wars: Judgment announced. Why did this not get its own segment in the Microsoft conference?

[Programming] Debugging

You never realize how bad you are at programming until you're forced to do it without an error log.

One of my group mates and I were working on some PHP code during lab and for some unknown reason, the lab computers don't have a local web server installed on them so we were forced to debug it the hard way.

We basically commented the entire program, un-commented a line of code, uploaded it to the school server, and checked to see if the program broke. If so, we'd go in to investigate what was wrong with that line.

Not fun. Would not want to do that again. Will probably have to though.
