What does relaxation mean?  I've never heard of it
Wow this has been a busy semester. I've finally starting to come to a point where I am able to chill out a little bit. I've been taking 6 classes this semester, and I have a list *THIS BIG* of stuff to get done. Only 3 more weeks, and the semester is over.

In a way to motivate myself, I've decide…

SQL burns
I just finished my first program that used Embedded SQL for my DB class. It's a pretty neat skill to learn, because you never know when you'll have to use it.

I'm totally burned out with database work right now, and I have another month before I can take a break from it. If you ever have to take…

Belated Birthday and Crunch Mode
This has been a rough two weeks. I'm in middle of my mid semester cram: tons of assignments from all my classes. I've been dying to work on Lucid some, but it just isn't to be until these course loads go away. I'm still chugging through the design for Lucid, and it's turning into a large project…

Woot!  I passed!
I passed my Microsoft 70-290 exam today, first time. This means that I am now certified to manage and administer any networks running Microsoft Windows Server 2003.

Now its time to start studying for my 70-291, which is supposed to be a little bit easier. Anyway, PIE for everybody!

MCSE Exam #2
Next Tuesday I'm signed up to take the Microsoft 70-290 exam, which is "Managing and Maintaining a Windows Server 2003 Environment". My boss is paying for me to take these tests, and I really enjoy the aspects of one day being a Systems Engineer. This will be my second MCSE test. I need to pass …

A clean desk is a happy desk.
I just finished cleaning off my desk. Now I have a drawer or two that I need to clean out. Next, I will straighten up my room to a point where I can concentrate on something other than the mess.

This is my usual routine before I start a new project. I work better in a clean environment.

Anyway, I …

Another one bites the dust
Well, I had an alternative motive for getting a GDNET subscription. Fact is that I need something to discuss my new project. I'm temporarily calling the project Lucid.

My journal will outline my process for designing, programming, testing, and marketing. Truth is that I've been inspired by EDI an…

Whew
I just got back from Busch Gardens Williamsburg. It was an amazing trip. For those who don't know, BGW is a theme park here owned and operated by Anheuser-Busch. They also have parks in Florida and California.

Anyway, great day at the park. Barely no one there, walk on rides, stayed late, and …

Programming Evolution
Everyone has to start somewhere. From an early age, I realised that there was no easy way to create something big on the computer. At least not without some sort of knowledge. As I stated with my first post, I began programming in QBASIC (the kind that came with every version of DOS).

How did I r…

And so it begins...
How's everybody doing? I've finally broken down and bought myself GDNET+.

For a first post, let me tell you all a little about myself. I've been a member of GameDev for about 5 years. This site has taught me so much. I've been mostly a lurker, but I feel that must change. I need to give somethi…
