It’s been a while since we’ve actually done one, but I’ve been fervently working towards the semester from hell, and I’m burned out and horribly fatigued from just trying to survive it. Exams are coming up and everyone is stressed out, so it’s the perfect time for a BladenCast.
I haven’t planned on exactly when we’re going to do it, but it’ll be coming up soon. If you want to ask questions and have them answered in the cast, shoot an e-mail to

This made my day. If you do not understand why, then you’re obviously not very far in Computer Science or in Computer Science at all.

Basically, I passed a pointer to a function and asked another function to read me back that pointer. Instead of a segmentation fault, I got whatever bits of memory were still in that pointer. I lol’d. APRIL FOOLS APPARENTLY.

If you guys are reading this, then you figured out the secret hidden on the page.
Maybe “DREAMCAST” was a little too obvious, but it was all in good fun.
Yes, I realize that none of the links work correctly. just use “http://www.bladenforce.com/wordpress/” instead of just the http://www.bladenforce.com/ when writing URLs. Full functionality will be restored when the prank runs out.
I’ve got a permanent link to the April Fools Day page,

If you hadn’t noticed already, there is a new section to the site - “Coyote’s Corner”, where I’ll occasionally post an article dealing with roleplaying, speculative fiction, and other fun stuff dealing with fantasy both classical, historical, and futuristic. A new mini-article, the first in a series, should be up shortly.

Update: I’ve uploaded the video to YouTube.
Update: CBS has pulled the interview from its streaming video service.
You know, I personally have to agree with the mother. I think that she was trying to teach a lesson to her sons that they should be more respectful of her and her wishes, and the government decided to get involved. It is the same kind of stuff you see in the rest of the liberal media today. Parents try to actually act out their parental responsibilities, and the government moves in and tells parents that they aren’t allowed to discipline, teach, or otherwise do anything with their children outside of shelter, clothing, and other basic care under penalty of having their children taken away from them. I truly believe that this is a case of liberalism at its finest: the boys were raised in public, government schooling, the government refused to help her and instead of sending the boys to seek psychological evaluation, they threw the mother in prison for trying to teach her sons some respect! I find this morally reprehensible to the utmost degree. My own mother has done a lot for me over the years, and I’m twenty years old now, going on twenty-one. I don’t have many more years left with either of my parents, so I try to cherish as many as I can get. These boys need to straighten up, grow up, and begin to understand that the world doesn’t revolve around them, and they certainly need to understand that their mother won’t be around forever to take care of them. You don’t really respect and cherish something until it’s gone, and by that time it’s too late.
