Wikipedia rules: (my sister's name is Alina)
Alina is a female surname of slavic origin. It's possible meanings are "light" and "noble."
Some Alina obviously wrote that in there to promote her own name. I actually couldn't resist and added it to the Russian version of Wikipedia too - 'cause it wasn't there at all.
By the way, there are all sorts of names on there, go read up on yours if you haven't yet.
However, my struggle with Managed DirectX is a fight to the death—bugs upon bugs, with yet more bugs driving them on.
Just now, leaving the gym, I discovered that I had shoes of different colors and different shapes on my feet.
Reason: I need to get more sleep, instead of rushing out headlong in the morning to walk the dog.
Conclusion: I guess I really am destined to become a professor after all.
It has finally happened! I have started working on my master’s ("diploma") thesis, two months before the deadline. Among other things, it will be a game, but I will not say what kind just yet (although many people already know anyway). Normally, two months is a mountain of time, but when it comes to writing a 3D game with physics, logic, AI, network support, and all the other delights, that deadline is clearly impossible. I have no idea what I am going to do. On top of that, I still have another course to complete—an exam, a term paper, and a lab assignment. And although a rough 2D prototype of the game without all the aforementioned bonuses is already finished, it is unlikely to help much.
Nevertheless, I will gradually show the results of my work here. Today I achieved tremendous success—I made a rotating three-dimensional cube. Unfortunately, there is no lighting yet, because it requires normals (perpendiculars) to the surfaces, the book does not provide them, and I am too lazy to calculate and enter them myself just for one cube.
