I have been remiss, remiss I tells ya. Remiss in that I haven't been blogging. I haven't been keeping you posted about my doings, regaling you with my thoughts, bothering you with my bothers.
I have been doing stuff: playing games (chess, poker, netrunner), doing OU stuff (TU100), coding stuff (the chessplaying thingee, my new site) but I haven't been keeping you, the world, informed. I don't know why. Laziness probably. That and maybe I don't know what to say.
Everything I'm doing feels a wee bit up-in-the-air at the moment, a work in progress, an incomplete thing. Take the chess playing thingee...
It's at that annoying stage where it works, but not completely; the code has become messy and needs to be fixed; it does almost everything that it needs to, but not quite. Unfinished, nearly finished, a start has been made? I'm not really sure.
My new site? yes, I'm finally going to register a domain and do a proper site. Which poses the tricky problem: what's is it going to be about? Where does the web have a neil-shaped hole? Well that's one thing that's at least been decided: JavaScript. TU100 has been a good course for me in that regard. I've re-discovered the joy of coding and the joy of coding JavaScript in particular. And if I'm being honest JavaScript is really the only thing that I'm any good at.
But it's all very well saying that I'm going to write about javaScript, that's a fine ambition, but what does it mean? Again not sure.
Then there's the degree. That's in the air too. I've decided that I'll do web/mobile/cloud technologies come October. To give me something to do and some time to think.
Still at least my plans for the weekend are fixed: I have a multi-media horror to produce for TU100. I'm off to download some un-plangent sounds to assault my tutor's ears as she view a montage of discordant images...
