			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pirate Ship Wars 2 has gone official. The site is <a href="http://pirateshipwars.com">http://pirateshipwars.com</a> and the blog is at <a href="http://blog.pirateshipwars.com">http://blog.pirateshipwars.com</a>. Being one of the developers (it&#8217;s co-programmed and co-developed by me and <a title="Termy58's Site" href="http://termy58.com/" target="_blank">Termy</a>), I&#8217;m managing the site and am responsible for various portions of the code. I also made the front page image <img src='http://thefwcentral.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Progress has been slow, especially since my main (and in all reality only gaming-ready) computer is in repair for 3 weeks. It&#8217;s the only computer I have set up to run anything related to programming, so that puts things back a bit on my side. Plus we need to reassemble the <a title="PSW Model Screendump" href="http://termy58.com/dump/index.php?dir=psw%2F" target="_blank">ship piece models</a> and do many other things under the hood - I&#8217;ve no doubt we will pull it off though <img src='http://thefwcentral.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Aside from PSW, research has been keeping me occupied. Not academic but <em>tablet pc</em> research! I&#8217;m looking at getting a tablet pc and,<span id="more-28"></span> shockingly, the market is practically empty. Each main manufacturer (HP, Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo, Fujitsu, etc.) have about 1 tablet pc. <strong>Just one.</strong> I think that if it was marketed right tablets could really take off, especially with <a title="Introducing Windows 7 - Windows Vista Blog" href="http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/2008/10/13/introducing-windows-7.aspx" target="_blank">Windows 7</a> using <a title="Microsoft Demonstrates Multi-touch - Windows Vista Blog" href="http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/2008/05/27/microsoft-demonstrates-multi-touch.aspx" target="_blank">multitouch</a>, but the companies are still focusing on their other computer lines. Since I&#8217;ve been looking for a tablet that is under $2000.00 CAN, has a good 12&#8243; + screen with both <a title="Under the Hood with Tablet PCs - Medical Tablet PC.com" href="http://www.medicaltabletpc.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=219&amp;Itemid=26" target="_blank">passive and active digitizers</a>, weighs under 5 lbs, and has a battery life of over 3 hours, choices have been limited; the <a title="HP Pavilion tx2517ca Specifications" href="http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/ca/en/ho/WF06b/321957-321957-3329744-64354-64354-3717590-3756327.html" target="_blank">hp tx2500 line</a> and <a title="Toshiba M700 Specifications" href="http://www.toshiba.ca/web/product.grp?lg=en&amp;section=1&amp;group=446&amp;product=7818" target="_blank">Toshiba&#8217;s M700</a> look like particularly strong contenders though. Anyone have suggestions?</p>
