Well, it's been 90 days at the new job, and I must say I've learned a lot about what .Net can do. Now, I've been playing around with .Net for a while, but what they do here at work has me excited about .Net again. The ability to work with a class that is based on a row in a database is something that I just was never able to figure out on my own. I'm so used to datasets and queries, this new way of working with data almost makes coding fun.
I haven't been doing too much coding in my spare time, though, as I really haven't had any motivation to get stuff done. I want to get back into Cent again, as I really think that has some potential, especially with CrystalSpace becoming a fully mature 3D engine. I also have my various web projects that have been on hold for many months, and OSMusic.Net is really something I don't want to end up ignoring.
But the problem for me is that I haven't really seen the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. A finished product (or in OSMusic.Net's case, vastly improved product) isn't materializing in my head, so I feel no immediate reason to work on it. I haven't really coded much in my free time since the third quarter of last year, it's something that I hope doesn't get away from me for much longer.
This is my blog where I give my thoughts and opinions on various topics and share my creative endeavors with the world. I run two personal blogs, but combine them here for ease of access.
Blogger - My oldest blog using the Blogger platform contains posts full of opinions, gaming, and code.
Tumblr - Tumblr posts are all about my creative side, containing music, videos, writings, and updates on my web creations.

In California, truck license plates are 7 characters, all numbers except for one letter in either the second or the sixth position. Whenever that letter is an X, I get nerd snipped into treating it as a multiplication problem and solving it in my head.
we should have paid more attention to the cats who, for decades, put their bodies on the line to walk on keyboards and sit on laptops and prevent us from programming
Former 2 time world champion DogPlayingTetris becomes the first player to ever rollover the level counter in NES Tetris, performing what's known in the community as "Rebirth". Final score: 29,486,164, 4216 lines, level 347 (256 + 91)... all huge world records. #tetris
I'd also love a 6 hour layover overnight instead of taking the red eye I was going to take and be 7 hours later getting into Cleveland than I wanted, why do you ask? #airporthell
Why yes, I'd love to leave at 4:40 to get to the airport at 6:20 for an 8:20 flight that got delayed to 9:05 which is too late for my connection so now I'm on a 10:20 flight instead. Why do you ask? #airporthell
@shanselman Who at Microsoft do I have to bribe to fix ADO so that those of us on dark mode who copy/paste text from one task to another can do so without our friends on light mode seeing dark text on a dark background?
I updated the blog post with a statement from Revival. While I'm not particularly happy with Revival's decision, I understand their motives. It's just a shame that it was someone from Interplay that had to go and do this. "By games for gamers" my ass.
Damn, got another Tetris world record! This time in the arcade variant developed by Atari. 6,008,005 points, 5,386 lines, round 363. Be warned, it's nearly FIVE HOURS. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2131759212
