Been Busy
Project Vee is now in self-imposed semi-crunch mode.
Originally, I planned to be in testing by the end of summer. Then I shifted the plan, aiming to be in testing before the end of 2008 in time for a January release. Now I’m just hoping I can have this behemoth finished someday.
Shikata ga nai. Karma, neh? (Yes, I have been reading Shogun. How’d you guess?)
As always happens when I focus on programming/software development, my writing and photography get short shrift. That’s why this blog (and my other blogs, as well), have seen very few posts the past few months. I miss both opining and shooting, and look forward to diving back into them in the post-Project Vee universe that I have to believe must exist somewhen.
A few random thoughts:
- I realized Tuesday night that I had voted for the winning president only twice in my life: in 1988, the first time I was old enough to vote in a presidential election, and last week. 2 out of 6. Is it obvious that I’m a registered independent?
- Sales for The Journal were way down on election day, and the day after. I guess people were too busy being historic to want to start a journal about the history they were living through.
- Even after all these years, arguing via email remains retarded.
- I’m making plans to attend the Game Developers Conference in 2009, for the first time in 3 years. I’m curious how badly the itch to make a new game will become due to extreme overexposure.
- I’ve been helping a friend buy her first new laptop PC in nearly a decade. As an impulse item, Dell’s checkout process suggested she pick up a 9″ mini laptop for only $400. I never thought I’d see the day a laptop would be offered as an impulse purchase.
- One more election-related thought: The electoral college is stupid. On the other hand, so is having 2 distinct legislative bodies. Odds are, though, we’ll still have those as well as many other outdated government oddities come the next century and beyond.
