I write things. Music, websites, software, blog entries. They're all pretty sub-par, but if I keep writing bad things, eventually a good thing will come out by accident! http://www.project610.com Here I am, farting around instead of sleeping, and still getting used to just how overwhelmingly convenient I've made my life. Sure, things like moving out will be slightly less pleasant, but since I currently spend easily 90% of my waking hours sitting at my computer, why not amp up the convenience a little? I haven't quite decided on what to do with all this extra workspace, but I think that I'm on the right track. Naturally, this calls for a picture, but of course, it's been so long since I've taken a photo of something that my camera's battery is dead. http://www.project610.com/?entry=82 The early signs of a cold have just arrived the day before I go back home and stream a whole bunch! Woooooooooo! http://www.project610.com/?entry=81 So I decided I do what I don't like doing, and put a single ad on P610. Sits right there at the top, and tells everybody who looks at my site "I am trying to turn you into money". http://www.project610.com/?entry=79 After organizing everything in one convenient spot, I noticed the list of abandoned projects was quite extensive, and gave a few of the items in said list an extra listen or two. It motived my to try to unbandon them. Results below! http://www.project610.com/?entry=77 As per popular request (Not so much a lot of people requesting, but getting the same request multiple times from one person) I will cram all of my music into one section and plop a link on the menu. http://www.project610.com/?entry=76 So I didn't get around to posting an update earlier because my website died for over a day (Thanks HostMDS) when I was in the mood to write, and fell out of the mood for a while. During that time, I finished Song10 and started/finished Song16! Though I think I might make some changes to 16 depending on feedback. Listen to 'em after the jump! http://www.project610.com/?entry=75 So for about 2 weeks now, I've been in Barbados. Got some sun, a minor burn, swam a bit. Mostly I stayed inside and played Minecraft. (This isn't a bad thing. A vacation's about enjoying yourself, right? I certainly spent time doing things I enjoyed, so I'd say mission accomplished.) http://www.project610.com/?entry=74 "Dress like a pirate, Virus!" "Dress like a pirate, Virus!" "Dress like a pirate, Virus!" Fine! But I need a hat. I won't be a pirate without a hat. Oh, hats are $30, and yet this second hand leather jacket is only $15. Obvious solution: Make a hat, and the rest of my costume if need be. http://www.project610.com/?entry=73 I don't think I actually blogged about this one - which is odd because it would've made great blog fodder (That is... A topic I throw my blog at and see what sticks.) - but essentially, the day I bought a secondhand bike, I got pulled over. Details below, as well as new thoughts about it. http://www.project610.com/?entry=72 One of those popular child-raising theories. Pretty simple: "Reward someone for doing something good. Not necessarily every time, just enough to get them to hope they'll get something out of behaving." Combine that with a very optimistic child (Eg: Myself) and you get a very well behaved person who is very hard to surprise with a gift. http://www.project610.com/?entry=71 Notice how I just stopped jogging out of the blue? Yeah, I cannot motivate myself. I always quit something after a while just because I run out of interest. Fitocracy makes a game out of it, which is entirely based on the players being honourable and accurate. Still, it's already got me feeling competitive. http://www.project610.com/?entry=70 What would you say if I told you that a french-Canadian ladyboy prostitute playing Minecraft at 3am offered me cash and sexual favours to get a player banned for killing them? http://www.project610.com/?entry=69 My sister had a barbeque recently, and asked me to drink when I went. As she doesn't ask much of me, I figured I'd oblige. What followed was straight vodka and whiskey, no surprise that I didn't enjoy it at all. http://www.project610.com/?entry=68 No, I'm not doing some new jogging thing, I'm just still sick. http://www.project610.com/?entry=67 So it begins, another Summer, another cold. Saw this one coming, too. http://www.project610.com/?entry=66 I am aware of this. http://www.project610.com/?entry=65 Lost interest. Maybe I'll continue, maybe I won't. Anyway, I'm laying in bed, typing away on my phone. Haven't cut my nails in a while, so typing is kind of a pain. As such, I'll keep it short. http://www.project610.com/?entry=64 I remember seeing an inconsistency with the 3rd day of 2 weeks where the picture didn't match the total time. I mistakenly thought that was this week, and jogged for a painful additional 2 minutes. Read on if that matters to you! http://www.project610.com/?entry=63 No. No, no, no. Also no. http://www.project610.com/?entry=62 Slacking much? Hopefully I don't make a habit of that. http://www.project610.com/?entry=61 I missed a day because I didn't feel like it, and then I missed another day because of a bunch of inexcusable crap and I feel tired and blah blah blah. http://www.project610.com/?entry=60 That concludes week 4, should've been my 28th day, as per the length of a week multiplied by 4, but this is my 33rd day. That is because I keep missing days, and taking 2 day breaks instead of 1. Anyway...! http://www.project610.com/?entry=59 One might accuse me of taking up jogging as an excuse to blog about something, and they'd probably also think that I don't have anything better to talk about. One would be correct. http://www.project610.com/?entry=58 It wasn't raining out, but you wouldn't know it, unless you sniffed me. Then you'd probably know it, because I don't think I put on enough deodourant in preparation for what I just put myself through. http://www.project610.com/?entry=57 Feelin' the blarfy again. Might have been the Pepsi that I had a while before jogging. I hoped it was all out of my system, but I think it either wasn't quite the case, or I am just not ready for what is coming next week. http://www.project610.com/?entry=56 I hate to be 'that guy' who introduces a new feature only to use that new feature's existence to force people to also use said feature, but... http://www.project610.com/?entry=55 (Or 8/27) My feet are tingling. They went numb around the end of my jog today. Numb aside from the fiery agony that was surging through my veins, anyway. http://www.project610.com/?entry=54 So I'm sitting here, being all tired, looking outside and noticing that it seems to be raining or something. I suddenly think about how I am supposed to jog today, and how I blogged about something recently that ended with "I will rant about a jog later today". I find myself in a panic because I'm like "OH MAN HOW LONG AGO WAS THAT DID I JUST FORGET TO JOG OR SOMETHING?" It was 14 hours ago, as of the time that I am writing this. (20:18) I will probably nap and then jog, but I'm writing here now because I might forget to if I don't! http://www.project610.com/?entry=53 Project610's had an upload option for years. It's been pretty much the only consistent thing (Aside from its layout) about the website for whatever length of time that it's been around. It's always been free to use, had minimal security, and aside from an arbitrary size restriction in the early days, had next to no qualms with whatever it is you had to upload. Well, things have to change when someone takes advantage of that. http://www.project610.com/?entry=52 A few hours ago, I jogged! I didn't blog about it because it was chilly out and my hands and arms had gone mostly numb. Soooo I played some Minecraft until they thawed out. Thing is, it's kind of cold in here, so they never really fully did that. http://www.project610.com/?entry=51 I missed a day! After the conference, my ankles were killing me and it was a day of joggingness. I am very disappointed in myself, and not yet in the mood to jog, but I know I have to. Blaaaaah! http://www.project610.com/?entry=50 I drank water! (Yuck) I didn't feel like throwing up! (Yay) My legs were in agony! (Boo) http://www.project610.com/?entry=49 Allow me to direct your attention to the paragraph below this one. I keep my descriptions free of formatting and images and the like, so while I could've introduced this entry with a picture, and I kind of would've liked doing that, I have prohibited myself from doing it in an effort to make these synopses. http://www.project610.com/?entry=48 Dear me: Stop drinking pop right before a jog. http://www.project610.com/?entry=47 I only took a 1-day break this time. I also had a hamburger and 5 glasses of Coke, and a large deal of frustration with work immediately before my jog today. I also also decided to sprint because a really fast song came on while I was jogging. The result: Nearly throwing up the entire time! http://www.project610.com/?entry=46 The last 2 days were a tough pair of days. I should probably explain why, but that will require going back a third day! http://www.project610.com/?entry=45 You'd best brace yourself for this, because you're going to laugh...! I've decided to try to get back into exercising! I hope to keep track of this in some way, and blogging seems like a suitable method... Details below! http://www.project610.com/?entry=44 I'm writing this on my phone. I don't actually know if it'll work, as I changed some things up today, website-wise. It's almost entirely admin stuff, so I'll ramble about it here! http://www.project610.com/?entry=43 Started playing around with XNA, began work on a shmup of sorts. Details after the jump~ http://www.project610.com/?entry=38 I took an extended break from the game because I was getting frustrated with one of the last stages of the bonus world. Well, I got back into it, and ... http://www.project610.com/?entry=37 "Family day" is upon us. Apparently it's this Monday. As such, the following conversation ensued: http://www.project610.com/?entry=36 I say "You", but I believe that none of the people I am addressing actually read my blog. In any case, I still feel that this should be pointed out. http://www.project610.com/?entry=35 Search Engine Optimization, bring your site to top the of a search engine, get more revenue, blah blah blah. All these free SEO services are filling people's minds with lies, and I have chosen to rant about that today. http://www.project610.com/?entry=34 But this time I have a couple of polite ones. Just came to say hello, wish me well, and probably would've tried to fill in a 'website' field in the comment section. Joke's on you! I didn't make one! http://www.project610.com/?entry=33 Food did. At least I think that's what happened.I'm okay to go a while without eating, but my productivity takes a nosedive when the hunger pangs kick in. http://www.project610.com/?entry=32 I don't think so... I spend almost as much time complaining about work as I do actually doing any work. http://www.project610.com/?entry=31 I'd complain about it here, but I have my reasons for not doing so. In any case, my days of fun and music are, at best, missing in action. http://www.project610.com/?entry=30 Beta 1.2 was released. Lots of neat things were added, music making note blocks, a water mob, dispensers, dyes... http://www.project610.com/?entry=29 Got spammers already! Yaaaaaay! Also, I intend to ramble about Captain Forever a little bit. http://www.project610.com/?entry=28 I refuse to keep trying to write one a day. I have 11 minutes to meet that mark, and while I REALLY DID WANT TO WRITE ABOUT SOMETHING TODAY, I just wasn't up to it. http://www.project610.com/?entry=27 This is what has become of this blog, so soon. I am blogging about blogging. Or about not blogging. I haven't done anything productive aside from work, and so this is what happens. http://www.project610.com/?entry=26 In a fit of rage fueled by a Super Mario World romhack, I managed to not just break, but shatter my second claw. http://www.project610.com/?entry=25 "Please believe that I am me. There are no other versions of me running around, and I really need to prove that I am a me." -Me http://www.project610.com/?entry=24 There is no excuse for this, but it happened. As a result, I'll release the latest version of song1. I'm not terribly satisfied with it, but that's all I've got right now. http://www.project610.com/?entry=23 It's time to wake up and get back to real life. The music making was fun while it lasted, but work beckons. http://www.project610.com/?entry=22 I have(n't) made an edit button( yet). This is (going to linger here until I make it, at which point I can turn it into) something meaningful. http://www.project610.com/index.php?entry=19 I'm still going at full power, or so, with the music and the remodeling P610. http://www.project610.com/index.php?entry=18 and write and write. Blog entries, software, websites, music. Bob's taking a break from composing, and I was going to avoid trying to write music today, since I have work to do. That didn't end up going the way that I expected. http://www.project610.com/index.php?entry=10 Inspired, no doubt, by the musical genius that is me, Bob composed a little more while I was asleep. With a little bit of modification, I turned it into something. Flawed as it is, we'll call it a beta for now. http://www.project610.com/index.php?entry=9 Got a bit of a to-do list in that last entry. I think I'll try to actually write about the things that I said I would write about if I felt like writing about more than writing about... etc. http://www.project610.com/index.php?entry=8 This is a brief description of what I am writing about. I have no fancy formatting here. I think this is the area before "The jump" that so many people write about. Maybe. In any case, here goes..! http://www.project610.com/index.php?entry=7
