25 Sep 08 Work, New Project, a little Crysis, and some WAAAGH!

It’s been a little while since I’ve had a chance to write another post.  Recently, I’ve been getting by surviving homework, working on clients’ websites, working on my new project, and finding time to play some of my long awaited games.  The homework load and resulting stress has lessened, mostly because I’m finding new strategies to getting it done before I approach my deadline.

Project
I started a new project which will hopefully eliminate my need for a simple, reliable, and free solution to managing notes and keeping todo lists.  I started building myself an application to store on my thumb drive, but decided to build a web-based solution that I could allow other people to use as well.  It’s really for my needs, but figured that if it’s something that I need enough to build, then hopefully someone else will find it useful as well.  It’s pretty early in development, but I’ve got a fully functioning login and registration system, as well as working notes and todo lists.  My favorite feature so far is the textilize markup support.  I love the textilize markup and wanted a free solution for use with unlimited documents.  I plan on releasing more information on this as I get further into development.  It’s developing rather quickly, faster than I expected.  I’m not ready to release the URL, but it will probably be in the next month or so.

Games
A gamers gotta game, and that’s what I’ve been doing when I’m not working on homework or my new project.  I picked up Crysis Warhead, which looks and runs great on my rig, and Warhammer Online, which is infititely more entertaining than WoW has been for the last two years.  I am converted and do not plan to return.
