Once in a while, a very long while…

.... Bulk makes a post.

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.

Happy Valentines Day?

It’s been a long time since anyone posted, so in good spirits I make this post in hope to set an example to the others (And to prove we’re not dead!). Life for me right now is pretty hectic since starting Uni, the learning curve is huge! It was pretty hard to keep up with the pace of Uni life to start with, but I’m starting to get used to everything now. Other than Uni I only/barely have time to get drunk or see my girlfriend. Although, occasionally there comes a bit of free time where I can play some Counter-Strike Source, which I am addicted to! The first time I saw the remake of cs_militia with High Dynamic Range Lighting it made me melt in my chair! But with the busyness of my life right now I still haven’t played it properly.

I am really looking forward to the next installment of the Elderscrolls series, Oblivion, which comes out late next month. I’ve been waiting for this release for over a year and from what I have read, it has definitely been worth the wait!

Well, its back to cleaning the house before the missus gets back, how did it get so messy?
