…hopefully you’ll be seeing more from me on this site in the coming year

Oh man, nine months since my last post, that is incredible. Not sure why I keep this thing up here.
What have I been up to? I said in my last post that I was hoping to get back into XNA, I fiddled with it for a while and wrote a prototype game that used the [...]

Two Thousand And Eight

Where’s my jetpack already?
4 months since my last post, that’s just inexcusable. I suppose I haven’t been focusing much on my game development after the WiggiWorld contest, though I got 75% of the way through a contest for the JayIsGames contest and then couldn’t make the final stretch. It’s a shame, because I think the [...]

Children of the 21st Century

Hrmm, my XNA links are quite outdated too. Revamp time.

Winter is here…

…and it’s made it a lot harder to get out of bed in the mornings. I’ve still been managing to do a bit of work on all my projects though, despite all the games I have to play and comics I have to read and TV shows I have to watch. I’d be able to [...]

And…

Just seeing what happens when I have more than one blog entry in here….
(You know, the word “blog” still bugs me, when I first starting “blogging” the word didn’t exist, and all we had were “online journals”. There’s something about the word “blog” that just sounds… obscene. Still, it’s part of the language now, and [...]

New Blog

First post! I’m not sure what I’m going to end up using this blog for, I just thought it would be good to have someplace to show off my hobbies to friends and family, and maybe a place to store ideas when I come up with them (rather than scattering text files around my hard [...]
