Long time…

… no see I know…

As always, been busy… πŸ˜›

Anyhow. I’m mostly writing to promote myself for once, I’m planning do create a FPS-Scare type game, and I’m gonna livestream alot of the development.
I’m gonna do my development in C++ and with OpenGL &OpenAL, so it’s all new technologies for me. I hope someone wanna learn with me!

Wat

You who read my previous posts know Im trying to loose weight and i had set a goal for myself to loose 4kg before week 29?
Well, Ive reached that goal today, 2 weeks ahead of schedule.. πŸ˜€

Now, i need to determine my next goal. Will post about that later πŸ™‚

Time for a new update!

This truly are exciting times!

The landing of ‘Curiosity’ is the most exciting event this year! I don’t know why but this event gives me the feeling that Nasa is starting to take deepspace exploration and planetery colonies a bit more seriously. Just google ‘Nasa curiosity’ to find out more πŸ˜€

On another note, the Minecraft server me and a few buddies own together have gone public! “Norselands” do now accept new members and we hope we’ll all have good time! πŸ˜€ http://www.norselands.com to find out more πŸ™‚

That’s it for now πŸ˜€ Until next time, Cheers. πŸ™‚

Uhh, what a day.

Was @ the doctors yesterday and I was put on a new medication, which I’ll continue to take for another 4 years…

That was the sad part. The happy news tho is that I’m finally getting help with my overweight. I’ll soon be contacted by a
dietitian who’ll teach me how to identify “good” food and how much of it to eat. I’ve also started working out a little just to boost the effect of the diet. Let’s see in a few month if it has any effect πŸ™‚

For the record, I do atm weigh 124 Kg (ALOT!). My goal is below 90 Kg. But to make sure I reach it, I’ll start with smaller targets to make sure I’m on the right track. My target for now is below 120 before my vacation (4 weeks from now).

 

Lets see how it goes πŸ˜€

shh….

Shh…

Did you see that? I think it was a post!
Lets catch it! *Runs away after it*
I caught it! *Gasping for air*
Lets read it…

 

Hey, been awhile since I posted – Again!
I really need to start holding my promise and post more ^^. Well, maybe this time ^^.
Why have I been so abscent?

I’ve been working on my Minecraft server. Preparing it with mods, setup a forum and domain name. Because within 15 days, it will open to the public :-D. Me and the chosen staff are working on a spawn that will amaze players once they join.
The server will be Gray-listed. Which means you can join the server as a guest, go around and look at stuff, but you can’t build or break anything. If you want to be able to build you need to apply for a membership on the forums. Once processed by the staff, you’ll be promoted to Member and you’re able to start building πŸ™‚

The central world have a capital, which we conveniently named ‘Centeralia’. Every new member will be given a plot in the city for free, just find a plot with a sign that says “FREE” on, contact an admin or moderator and they’ll gladly unlock it for you.

More info will come πŸ˜€
But I’m back, I’m bad and I’m working πŸ˜€
Cya πŸ™‚

Code snippet

During work today, todays assignment is to test a website which recently went offline, I decided to write a tiny script that helps me answer the question “When do my commute card’s period end?” When I buy the card each month it only says “Purchase date + 30 days”.. So I never really know the exact day, unless I manually count, the card stops working.

So I wrote this lil’ script, and I wonder why I didn’t do this sooner -.-…

An image… πŸ˜›

I know I’ve not really shown any of my work here on the blog. But, how about a change…
Here’s an orb I made in GIMP. Took some inspiriation on some techniques from youtube, who was making these on photoshop, and tried ’em in GIMP :).

Dunno if this is a bubble or a marble… I’d more say marble…
Let me know what you think.

New job

Today I was brought in on my new job, ahead of schedule!
Been waiting for this day for allmost a month now πŸ˜€

Lemme explain, at my old job I was a tester, testing software and games to ensure they’ve the quality that’s required.
It was an interesting job where I learned more and more about the software development process.

My contract was running out and I learned that one of the internal tools developers are going on parental leave, so I was asked to fill the void. So my new contract, is as a internal tools developer and it ends in November.

I’m thrilled about this because as a tester I’ve been having unstable workflow. No assignments fora few days, then overtime for a day or two. Now I hope I’ll have a more steady workflow.
And the best part, I get to work with programming!

To sum it up: ;-D

WooHoo!!

A new update, after nearly a month of inactivity ^^.

If you head over to my projectsΒ page, you’ll see that it has gone under a major update. Alot of new projects have appeared. Alot of them are games as well πŸ˜€
Making games is hillarious. Can’t really say why, it just tickles your imagination. Inspired by the recent ludumdare.comΒ contest, which resulted in over 1’400 games, I’ve decided to give it a go to create a bunch of games I’ve had in my mind for quite a while now. Β One is nearly completed, one is just about to start and the last one is in development stage.

I did not participate in LD23. Though I regret my decision. But it’s only 4 months until the next event :-). So in August, come and cheer me and thousands of other developers on as we compete in this awesome event!

 

Lastly, I want to apologize for being so inactive the last month. Have been really busy with work, programming and real life πŸ™‚ I’ll try to be more active in the future!

Keep in touch!
