I was shocked when I couldn't connect to IRC a couple of days back. The error was something like "connection from your host is refused". The only plausible reason was IP banning. I thought my IP was banned. Guess what? I can connect back now. I wonder what actually went wrong.

I had a good sleep on the train during the trip back. If not for Bobby, I'd have overslept again. What am I going to do if he goes on vacation for a week? No one to accompany me on the train and wake me up. *gasp* I never fail to sleep soundly on the train and I just can't seem to figure out why.

I managed to code the part which I deemed as the most tedious in my upcoming project. It was the combat resolution table. Fourteen columns and twenty rows in all. I hard-coded all the values manually into the form. I wanted it to be a dynamic one to cater for further changes, though I know there won't be any further changes at all. Anyway, I ateempted using a control array but my knowledge of arrays is painfuly little. I should have paid more attention during those arrays tutorials.

I could have used a MS Access database but I wanted the program to be a standalone. That is to say, I don't want it to be dependent on any external program. Using a database can greatly reduce the amount to time and work. An Excel spreadsheet works even better. However, the same problem of being software dependent and the ease of being infected by virus made me think twice.

Let me go search through my CD-Rs and see if I can find my old code and reuse or improve on it. Let's hope I left comments back there. *crosses fingers*
