Life happens, when I get around to it.

February 12th, 2009

Wow, it is amazing how many projects a proctrastinator can take on and ever accomplish anything.

Fallout 3, started playing, lost my steam when I have to head across the world to some stupid Vault furthest end of unexplorer territory.  Oblivion has horses, as if nobody can get a car working 200 years after a nuclear apocolypse.

Grand Theft Auto 4.  Both on the PC (runs like poop) and the Xbox (no HD tv), I’ve gotten nowhere in single player.  I just need ambition to go back to playing it.  Unfortunately I’ve got too many more important things on my plate than playing games.  Hence why I haven’t touched my new 360 in a month.  The only thing I play is Garry’s Mod, probably because I can develop for it.  I’d love to get into professional game development.  To have artists to actually make something I code pretty would be the difference between abandon project to indie hit.

Waterworld gamemode for Garry’s Mod.  Flood sucked but the premise was delightful, so I made my own from scratch without a sandbox base.  Now that I have made it a bit past Flood, I don’t have ambition to go back an add the perks and bonuses.  I have excuses though, no artist to draw my icons and Garry is ignoring my bug reports (nothing new there).

Contracted web development and automated data entry.  Who knew there would be a high demand for this?  I’ve started two projects and I’m stuck learning everything Drupal.  For such a smart platform it is a bitch to comprehend the reasoning behind form field names.  Good thing people pay me after the work is complete.

Electrical engineering… A fantastic hobby but requires a lot of cash to order new toys.  Still need to shell out $80 for a USB AVR programmer because my bloody mobo doesn’t have a parellel header.  Getting good with soldering though.

Upcoming daughter.  While I’m extremely excited and distracted by the prospect of my daughter, I just have no ambition to read books about parenting.  Isn’t that shit supposed to come naturally?Last half year at quarter-century.  While this is my last year at 25 and I’ll be starting the next quarter century of my life in June, I’ve accomplished only one life goal (see above) and absolutely nothing else.

First sight of my first baby

December 4th, 2008

Here is the ultrasound at 12 weeks, 1 day.  Supposedly closer to 13 weeks according to Liss, but whatever, between 12 weeks and 13 weeks somewhere. It’s my baby and it is growing, case closed.

If you can’t see YouTube, download the low quality abridged (32.8mb) or high quality unabridged (140mb).

Carnival Valor

May 19th, 2008

Carnival Valor taken at Grand Cayman (by Larissa) Well… Today is my second visit to the Carnival Valor.  It certainly didn’t take long to remember the layout of the ship.  My cabin last time (two years ago) was on Deck 7 Forward (front of the ship) with a forward window.  This time I’m near the bottom Deck 2 Forward with no window.

When you travel with a group, there is always at least one that makes the traveling part tortuous.  Apart from being blatantly unpleasant, everything went smoothly except for the preselect plane seats.  Miami was fun and relaxing for a night but the “travel” wasn’t effectively over until we hit our stateroom.

Anyway, more tomorrow…
