I just read that Heroes of Might and Magic IV is apparently scheduled for a March 20th release. Gamespot has a pre-release section up for it, with some screens and movies and stuff like that here.
So, I’m back at work and everything, I wasn’t buried under an avalanche of emails, though I did have quite a few to go through. Thanks to all the well wishers who wished us well, both on our departure and our return.
I’ll respond to the Tulum comment from the last post here - I don’t think we actually drove through Tulum itself, though we did do a bit of a walk in Cozumel. It really looks like the tourism industry is well appreciated in Cozumel, they’re putting up a gorgeous strip mall at the port, and everything looked like they were cleaning and sanitizing to make culture shock a thing of the past. We did walk down a shopping district street in Playa Del Carmen, which seemed nice, but we were pretty rushed, and didn’t really have much time to explore. Would I return there for a visit? You bet. I think the two places that we visited that we’d like to go back to are the Cozumel/Playa Del Carmen/Tulum area (I’d like to make a trip to Chichen Itza after seeing Tulum) and Cartagena. Grand Cayman was really nice too, but a) I think we’ve seen everything short of snorkeling/scuba diving and b) it was very expensive relative to Mexico/Columbia. In retrospect I’d have probably enjoyed going on a snorkeling/scuba tour in Grand Cayman, but that would require getting certified and stuff - maybe some day.
I just heard today that Dave Thomas from Wendy’s fame passed away on the 8th of January. Sad in some way, he’s been in so many commercials, it will seem strange to see a Wendys commercial without him in it.
Simpson’s quote of the day:Newspaper editor: “We’re looking for a new food critic, someone who doesn’t immediately pooh-pooh everything he eats.”
Homer: “Nah, it usually takes a few hours.”

Hereos of Might and Magic 4, huh? Well, that’s pretty kewl. Did I ever tell you that Amy and I bought the Heroes Chronicals game pack, with the 4 scenarios? It’s essentially game packs for 3, but you don’t need to own 3 to play them, they’re all stand alone games. 4 of them in all. Amy’s beem playing through them slowly. Her Diablo 2 addiction keeps getting in the way (G)

Pop C++ quiz… my assignment is to read in a file that has a bunch of numbers… I figured out how to do that, got em in several shiny arrays (they are like student number, mark, age…) Anyways, I have to put them all in one array called “student’ which is what I am supposed to have called my header file… so how can I make them all fit in one array?

Hey…make a n-D array (example 3-D here).
int student[20][20][20];

I’m guessing that they want you to use an array of structs.
You may find this hard to believe, but the only C++ that I’ve ever written was a program whose output was it’s own source code (which could then be compiled to output it’s own source code, and so on) Fun little exercise, didn’t learn much about C++ from it though.

nah, I don’t think they want a matrix, I think they want me to create a class for it… I’ll figure it out later.

Davey Jones.. Do the struct..
struct student {
long number;
short mark;
short age;
};
struct student students[50];
if you wanna be fancy, throw them in a linked list or queue :)

Oh, a class.. Well.. most people around here use the ’struct’ keyword instead of ‘class’ so thats almost right..
