  • Updates

    Sorry for the lack of updates here. I have been quite busy with the development and recent release of LicenseKeeper. I do have plans to start the initial design phase of my next game soon. But, I need to get through the next release of LicenseKeeper as well as some Cocoa consulting work for one…

  • Server Down

    Announcement: Just in case you were looking for the company website or Bullfrog download. My main server running the outerlevel.com domain had a hard drive failure this morning. It is currently having the disk replaced and the operating system reloaded. I Estimate about 6 hours to reload plus the time it will take for me…

  • Happy Birthday

    It’s been exactly one year since my very first post on this blog. I’ve accomplished a ton since then. I have learned Objective-C and some Cocoa.

  • Spammers Found Me

    The spammers finally found this site. So I’ve implemented spam prevention for the comments section. If you are a logged in registered reader, there is no change. For unregistered readers, there is now a security number to enter in when commenting. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Catching Up

    I forget how fast the world moves these days. So much can happen in only a few days. I remember as a kid, I could waste away an entire summer vacation without the sense that I missed a thing. When I returned to school the next fall, life continued just as it left off the…
