The working

So here's another spot in the blogspere that I'm using to speak my mind. Well, this is going to be more of what I'm doing while I'm wearing my developer hat. I keep on reading some good diaries of projects so I thought why not have one myself.

So I'll just get right down to it. Here's what I'm looking at right now.

I'm currently into C# programming. It's a good language to get things working quickly in a Windows environment. You can also get quick results in the console arena as well. The language features lots of constructs pre-made for you so you can spend more time doing the stuff you want to do and not the little details that all projects must have. I like it. I've been using Visual C# Express and wished I had a regular copy of Visual Studio. I had a chance to get one while working at Microsoft, but I never bothered to follow through. The express version is good enough for what I'm doing now. And what am I doing now?

I've created two groups of projects and times when I work on them. One group is career related projects that should help out my career path. I try to stick to these projects doing the weekdays. Currently this is good cause I'm not doing any dev work. Keeps my mind in some sort of shape. ^_^

The second group is the hobby related group. The hobby group consists mostly of game programming projects. I tend to keep the hobby stuff to the weekends as I have more time available to sink into it. Ideally, I'd sink all my time into these projects, but this whole "having a job to pay rent thing" gets in my way. Though really I've been interested in game development since high school. I've just never had the drive to make it any more than a hobby despite a couple of failed attempts and many, many more wannabe tries. So, I think it's a good idea to push my dream of getting a job in the game industry to the back burner.

So, you'll probably find those two types of posts here. I'll probably put up some other stuff like the tools I use and stuff. I have a goal in mind of posting on each group once a week. There could be more, but I think 1 each is good for the time being.

I guess the first post this week will be from the hobby group. I've got some ideas and I'm stuck, not surprisingly.

Well, I hope you'll become inspired by my work here. I love to hear about tricks from the masses as well.
