Progress Progress

Well, I got all of my computers up and running and in a location that works. My laptop is a card table in the living room. My desktop is on my newly purchased Ikea desk. I also just ordered a second monitor for it to improve productivity. And my media center (awaiting a QAM tuner) is hooked up to my hdtv. So things are finally progressing in a way that me, as a programmer can appreciate. Empty boxes and freed up floor space is great and all, but my machines being in good positions is really where it’s at. July looks to be a busy month to me, hopefully next week I’ll be back working on my own projects and soon I’ll be pounding away on finishing up Skirmish. It’d be nice to get it in a state that I can put it aside, and look onto the next project.

Finished Moving

Well, here are some more related news to my site. I just finished moving all of my stuff from my old Apartment in Hoboken, a few miles inland in Jersey. It’s a bit sad since I’ve been in Hoboken for a good 7 years and will have to meet new friends here, and all those social things that I was never very good at. It’s nice to be moving on from Hoboken and we’ll see how the real world is from a living perspective that doesn’t feel like college.

For now I may leave all the references on the site to Hoboken, since that’s where ASoOJ started and it is a nice little town. I might tweak them to say something about originating or some such.  Well, I as I unpack boxes and organize my living space, my main computer is on top of three boxes full of “clothes to be donated” and my keyboard rests in my lap. Not optimal programming conditions. I decided to get rid of my old desk since I didn’t like it very much, and so when I get a new one and am able to put away have the crap that’s on my floor, I may be up to proggin a bit more. Until then, expect the twice a month posting I’ve been sorta keeping up with, maybe I’ll get in enough habits to post once a week. Maybe.

Update: Oh shit I forgot to mention Diablo 3. That game will put a whole into my time-time continuum. Oh yes Blizzard, let me play it now.

Moving and Side Project

Well, moving is going fairly smoothly for the most part. We were planning on having a few more things moved then actually got moved, but the minivan my girlfriend’s father was driving stalled out the day we were going to move a few larger things. But we do have a lot of stuffed packed and already moved, and we have a fair amount left. I’m still hoping to be done by this coming weekend so I won’t have to worry about it, but we’ll see how the weather is.

Friday I have to be around the new place to let the FIOS guys in. Supposedly it takes 4 hours to setup everything, hopefully they don’t need me for any of that. Or at least much of that. I’ll have a laptop and a tv, but no internet/cable setup yet (obviously) so we’ll see if I can leech off anyone else.

While i know those of you here for board games on the internet don’t care about my side project, and I’m sure you won’t be affected by it in any way (except for my reduced resources) it’s nice to be able to move quickly with this project. I’m doing lots of php work which is what I plan on doing for gskirm’s multiplayer, so hopefully once my side project is done, I’d have helped out the gaming community I’m doing the project for, and gained the right skills and workings with php to efficiently do multiplayer.  Well, halfway through the month isn’t a bad time to post, I’m sure I could have done it sooner, but yknow I would have said basically the same thing as I did here, except I’d be less far along with both of these things.

Oh and I think I’m giving up on most professional sports. The NBA is rigged (according to the refs) and who knows how many other ones.
