Systems Thinking, Systems Acting

Sun, 02 May 2010 22:15:45 -0400

What's in a name? I've always been about the subject in the past, hardly about the concept until the last group of months. The nearing expedition into the further-polished environment of learning is drawing to a fantastic beginning, and I have vowed to myself to establish routines, systems, values, habits, philosophies, and motives in order to s...

Heaven

Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:49:01 -0500

I didn't wake up 91, today; I woke up a young adult once more. Instantaneously, there was relief in the rush of thoughts that ran. I had finally kicked the bucket, or so it feels. This was already the most elaborate dream I ever had. There was wind between my fingers. I could stop breathing without suffering apnea. I could feel my hair without o... Read More

A Gamer's Righteousness

Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:43:04 -0500

It's a surprise at how much gamers value not only doing things the way they were instructed, but the way that justifies a reward. Take my friend for example; A couple of his "friends" were talking about a game he recently wiped the floor with their entrails in. The story, from my friend, sounded exciting and glorious. However, it was heard that ... Read More

Coded and Overperformed

Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:41:47 -0500

The way that you know that your coding is something to be proud of is when it functions too well. I'm recoding a platformer engine (think Mario games, okay?) And here's a little example of a slightly amusing thing that happened: I've coded the character so that you can't jump if something is above you (as in, if the ceiling is touching your h...

Love of Me

Fri, 12 Feb 2010 20:39:54 -0500

There are things that bring tears to my eyes. These days, I cry out of joy more than out of sorrow, far more out of joy, and that is how I realize how successful I am at this very moment. I have come to realize what a beautiful person I am, how much I love myself, and how much I do for the sake of enjoying what I'm doing. There are many people w... Read More

After Hard Work, More Work

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 19:09:18 -0500

If anybody has heard of the old Black Triangle anecdote, the very same one that every good programmer inspires him or herself with, I am afraid that the triangle I attempted to overcome has challenged me to make yet another such triangle, ever so much that I fear that the constraints of life must allow me to turn it down in favour of progressing to...

What I Have Done Right

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 10:10:24 -0500

One of the most difficult procedures that some of us undergo involve thinking about the things we have done for ourselves that were designed to last. The biggest reason for this is that we pass up opportunities and offers that can not only alter the course of our lives but double as the sail that guides us through the swells of the waves. I deve... Read More

Learning.

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 17:05:45 -0400

I really like j_godley's blog. It's funny and actually talks about things that are interesting. I hardly care about choosing an eye doctor (although the advice could come in handy) or how God is like a father to us (I mean, that's pretty much the first lesson that you learn about God. Why blog about that?) My first task is to learn Javascript. T... Read More

The Future.

Sat, 13 Jun 2009 20:08:22 -0400

I remember this one part of a summer I had where I just laid on a couch and walked around for three days; there was nothing for me to do. The videogames were all played through (nothing I had was indie), the computer was moved downstairs and being wiped (goodbye Game Maker!) so I had that few hobbies. Perhaps that's just pathetic? It was. I can'... Read More
