So, it’s that time of year! Time for a bulky flavoured update. I won’t bullshit about grand ambitions to make more updates in future, because frankly that ain’t gonna happen. I’ve just been so mad busy over the past year that everything has fallen by the wayside. I have, more or less officially given up on any grand idea I may have had in the past about being a level designer—with my current workload it just isn’t ever going to happen. I think it’ll just stay a little thing I dabble in every once in a while, as a hobby.
If there was someone I trusted enough to hand over Wavelength to, at this point I probably would because I can’t see my self with enough time to ever complete “Falcon” aka TWL 4.0 which would essentially eliminate full time content producers and make TWL a truly community driven site. I don’t even have time enough to update the site as it is even now. Meh, maybe one day.
At any rate, my long term career plans have now turned more towards the route of programming. While I don’t (yet) have a huge amount of skill with any “hardcore” language, I consider my self good enough at PHP/SQL to make a go of it at the level of actually getting paid for it by a real company. And now that I have a good grounding in PHP I am hoping that it means I will be able to pick up languages like Perl, Python, perhaps even a C variant or two. We shall see. At any rate I intend to be earning money doing that by the end of the year.
My company, Actors CV is going quite well, we have 8 customers now, which I know sounds like a tiny amount but this is more or less a totally new idea, so we’re not expecting big things soon. Saying that, we have a few ideas to help things along so maybe things will pick up.
So, that’s it for now. Maybe I’ll do another update soon, but probably I won’t.

Holy shit a post.
I know the feeling tho, i’m just too busy these days to really get any of my personal projects off the ground as well, which kind of sucks to a degree.
The upside is i’m already getting paid to do webdev & design, so it’s all good
