I was woken up at 8:45 AM by the doorbell. The mail had dropped off both the new NES/SNES controllers and the lot of 25 NES carts I'd ordered. The early part of the morning was thus spent making sure the controllers work and checking out some of the NES titles.

Then mom and I went to run errands. Over all, this was nothing interesting. The stop for lunch at the buffet afterword however, was alarming.

The sheer number of people in there was astounding. Making it more freaky was when a busload of people came in, swarmed the buffet trays, ate and left in less than 30 minutes.

Quite freaky to watch. So freaky in fact, that we didn't chat during our meal; we just watched in wide-eyed terror.

When we got home we found that my last purchase of the year, the GP2X Wiz, had arrived. I spent most of the rest of the day downloading, installing and testing software for it. I even got my two flash games to work on it (abet with some errors: the brick breaker clone's colors didn't work properly). Many of the games I want to load on it are available for its predecessor, but have not yet been ported to it. After all, the Wiz has only been out on the market since May of this year.

I did move Din along, and spent some time with Playpen. In the case of the latter, I've decided the best option is to develop it as an interpreter instead of using compiled modules. This is mostly for my own convenience and several beneficial features that come with it. This also has the (unintended) side effect of moving the project back to DOS -- DOS can handle an interpreter but not the compiled modules. So that project got easier on several fronts.

I need to spend tomorrow working on my comic though, so this will have to be shelved for now.

Lastly, enjoy a game of Frozen Bubble, one of the Linux games that isn't yet ported to the Wiz.
