Works Life in Progress Posted by Josh Mar 3 I m taking a cue from Ye Olde Magick Speaking Beardface and just putting down some words about life in general at this point I only have one real creative work in progress at the moment which is more than enough considering everything that s going on Who re you calling a program program Right first things first The day job is keeping the roof over our heads until we move to a new one in a couple months and food in the pantry I m moving positions shifting away from phone answering bug squishing troubleshooting to code chomping cart rolling Flash AAHHHH savior of the universe in

programming It s not a promotion mind you more of a lateral semi upwards shift in responsibilities and protocol Still it s in improvement I have a few things to square away in my current workload before the move is official but it s forward motion By focusing on PHP SQL and my already pretty extensive Flash skills and leaving the ever shifting environments of up front client relations behind I think I ll not only become far more valuable to the company but also start enjoying work a bit more overall The Project Marches On I m trying to crack open the manuscript for the Project and drop a few words in every day Sometimes it s more than a thousand or even two or three Others I m lucky to get a couple dozen in there But any motion is forward motion and I m trying to keep my spirits up I know where I m going with this plot and I m aware that some places might be a bit slower than others If my setting had ninjas I d have them attack any time I was in doubt about what to have happen next Ninjas are always cool Did we just threaten someone with zombie rape Tonight s another session of the awesome Iron Kingdoms game being run by my wife Our team myself David Hill and his lovely wife Filamena have sort of become a steampunk version of Burn Notice Dave s noble never kills unless he has to Mena s gun mage is on the lookout for the next opportunity and my rifleman sees violence as a direct solution to most enemy encounters Which pretty much makes me the Fiona Property of BioWare I m playing through Mass Effect again Call me boring or easy to please if you like but I have achievements to get a whole other gender to experience since Shepard can be either male or female and situations to set up for future games Once I get where I want in the first game I ll be playing the second again And I also have things I want to do with Dragon Age as well Again this probably points to me being dull but in retrospect I feel this is a better way to spend my time than playing Star Trek Online for the time being That and BioWare isn t charging me 15 a month just to play their games And then there s this stuff Taxes bills finding a new apartment that doesn t suck getting cats to a vet sometime in the near future being a grown up sure is fun isn t it If you know this reference you officially rock my socks Filed under Current Events
