Affairs of a Heathen

I’ve been thinking about some ideas for my site/blog recently. With the layoffs at work coming up, I might look into offering a PC repair service for a fee (finally). I’d use either this domain or another one that I purchased as the portal. Another idea was to use one of the domains as my personal website, with my blog/twitter, social networking links, PC support, and whatever else I can think of. I just don’t know which content management system will be the best. Also, I’ve been using twitter more often then my blog and I’m not sure what to do. I know a lot of people use twitter for “micro-blogging” in between their actual blogs, but mine would just be am accumulation of the tweets.

I’m sitting here listening to Radiohead’s “Kid A” album for the 80,085th time and going over some things I need to do. I’m writing an outline for this database I’ve been working on for a couple months now. I should have done this from the beginning because I’ve went too far ahead of myself without proper planning. Some of the code was broken a few times today while I was fussing with its code. It has so much potential even with it being “broken” at the moment. Things would be easier if I knew before hand what would be expected of it. Although, I had originally intended for it to only be a solution to one problem. Now its been built up to be pretty complex and easily adaptable to other process along the production floor. From my understanding, it will incorporated into an upcoming database for testing. I’ll be speaking with the programmer for this other database tomorrow.

I had class today and aced this weeks quiz. I checked my overall class grade today, and with my class report being included, I’m up to an A-. It shouldn’t be too hard to bring that up to at least an A before the end of the semester.

An email was sent out today at work stating they’re now on Twitter. Awesome. Now people can follow them and get the next “reduction in force” notice sent straight to their phones!

Just finished installing Leopard on my computer. I hate Apple.

This is harder than I thought… I’ve finished the graphics engine (I think) and the player’s ability to move cards in and out of the deck, discard pile, and the player’s hand. AI is up next!

I’ve been getting back into programming since I’ve been training with George. I’m writing a few things at the moment including a database for work and a windows card game based off of the game my family plays. The easy part is done for the game I’m calling “Blitz”. The graphics have been created and I can now create, shuffle, and draw a deck of cards. Now I need to work on the AI, which will be the hardest part.
