Posting just to post
I haven't posted for so long, I thought I would post something :)

Only programming I have been doing lately is school work in my C programming class. Other than that I have been busy, well sort of. All the great games are coming out and I am playing them all. EverQuest 2, Half Life 2, and WoW is …

Busy
Wow, I have been busy, it has been a while since I wrote last.

I have been busy with school work and miscellaneous projects. Lately I have been working on creating an auction site for my brother-in-law. I figured it would be a great way for me to learn MySQL and PHP.

I also thought I would work on …

Macromedia
Well, last night I installed Macromedia Studio MX 2004 with Flash Pro and Contribute 3. It is a very nice suite for the money, but I have a LOT to learn. I have been dying to learn Flash for a couple of years now, but never spent the time trying.

Flash is not easy to pick up like most other progra…

Monday
It is Monday today. Our network here at work is VERY slow. I am unable to do any work. So, I went to a couple of websites to follow a few tutorials on SQL. Apparantly, I already know most of SQL. I guess what I need to learn is more about PHP to work with SQL.

I finished my first weeks homework…

October already
Wow, school starts next week. I have been so busy with the basement, I haven't had time for anything else. I can't believe all the prepping that needs to be done down there.

School should get me back into the swing of things; programming wise.

Not much new
I have kind of went a little overboard...

A friend of mine received a Gmail invite. I didn't think it was that much of a big deal. Didn't matter to me since I own a couple of my own domains and can have my own email with as much space as I needed.

He mentioned he wasn't able to use his gaming name …

I was going through some of my VERY old websites and found an old joke page called, "Tech Talk for Town Folk". I found it especially funny since I am from Minnesota.

Check it out here: Tech Talk for Town Folk

This weekend should be fun, I will be hanging the sheetrock and then tomorrow night I am g…

Hmmmm...
Well, I cleared out the basement, it is ready for the sheetrock :) Now if it would just stop raining so I can get it.

I went through chapters 2 and most of chapter 3 in the PHP 5 / MySQL book last night, chapter 3 is loooong. It looks like in chapter 4 I will be able to actually start digging into…

Gettin' over the hump
I finished the plumbing last night and now I just need to clear out the basement and then I can put up the sheetrock :-)

Programming: I finished all the general tutorials at cprogramming.com this morning.

Last night I installed Apache2 and PHP5 on my laptop (winXP Pro). I created a sample php page …

Ahhh...early morning
Well, I finished the electricity in the basement and finished half of the plumbing for the wetbar. Tonight I will finish the plumbing. It is raining all day so I guess I won't get the sheetrock yet.

I read the first chapter in "Beginning PHP 5 and MySQL: From Novice to Professional" last night. I…

Fun and not so fun...yet...
Well, I was bored at work today, so I went to http://www.cprogramming.com and did a few of their tutorials.

I went through the first 10 or so tutorials for C++ and then went through all the tutorials for OpenGL. C++ was simple and straightforward, but I got a little lost on the OpenGL.

Although basi…

Nothing programming related today :(
Well, it will be at least another week before I actually get to start digging into programming. I am working my ass off on trying to get our game room finished. The room isn't that big, but I have a layout that includes: Wetbar, Foosball table, Poker table, Darts, three TV's with various game sy…

Lots of Learning
OK, I am already in the process of teaching myself C++. In October, I am taking a class for C Programming. Now, my boss wants me to learn SQL for work. I was thinking of picking up a book to learn MySQL.

I REALLY want to learn C++ for game programming, but I am a little worried about trying to le…

Well, my laptop is finally getting delivered today (at least the according to the tracking at Fed Ex, it is on the truck to be delivered).

I can't wait. Once it gets here I will install Dev C++ and get back into the swing of programming :)

Finally
Well, it has been a few months, but I FINALLY bought a laptop :) Not top of the line like I wanted, but for less than $2000, it has a lot of nice features. In the future, I will just need to upgrade the RAM and possibly add a faster hard drive...currently 80gigs, but slow at 4200RPM :(

It had a …

Notebook
Well, this week I have been looking into buying a laptop. I can't make up my mind though, I partially want a gaming laptop to be a desktop replacement (since my computer currently is only an AMD 1.4 ghz).

Or I can just get a cheaper laptop for programming and build a decent gaming rig :)

I have been…

Not enough time
There is just not enough time in a day :I

I can't believe I have been too busy to program. I am re-wiring my basement so that I can sheetrock it. I have a month to finish it, then school starts. At least when school starts, I will be programming since that is one of my classes :)

I can't decide if…

I didn't get any programming done yesterday. I took some Nyquil and it made me very lazy. Now I am going out of town till Tuesday, but hey, maybe I will be able to at least read about programming while I am gone.

I really need to invest in a laptop :|

Oh well
Well, I registered for school yesterday and it sucks that they won't let me take a C++ class without taking C.

Soo, I guess I am taking C Programming - online only class. I guess it isn't bad, I wouldn't mind learning about C, but I hate that there are soo many prerequisites to take, gonna take me …

Anxious
Well, I finished chapter 3 last night, I was hoping to finish chapter 4 also, but I have been splitting my time between programming and finishing our basement.

I have been reading the help wanted forum and it makes me very anxious to learn as much as possible to someday be part of one of the teams. …
