New Year Resolutions

By John, Annie, Lucy and the Woof-Woofs at 8:51 AM

I've been seeing posts like this in some of the blogs that I read. So I decided to copy them and post how my goals for last year went and what goals I'm striving for this year.

2007

  • First on the list was to learn and use Linux as my main desktop environment. I think that I completed the first part of that. I messed around with the desktop side for my bot PC. I got a server up and running. It had apache, php, mysql, ventrilo, and subversion running on it. Unfortunately it didn't survive the move, but now I have a different PC running as my server. This time its a Debian box instead of an Ubuntu box. I have not converted myself fully to Linux though. I still find myself addicted to games and too unwilling to give them up. Hopefully my desire to create games will overpower my desire to play them. Maybe even just playing the games that I create will be enough to satisfy my addiction.
  • Learning C/C++ was the next on my list. This didn't happen at all, but this goes hand in hand with...
  • The Mod this started out as the big project of the year and never left the planning stages. Due to things like graduation and other projects time for this monster never seemed to be available. Maybe once Nate finishes Raidninja and I can get the rpg out the door we can resurrect this beast.
  • Lastly is the rpg I'm working on. While I hoped to be in either alpha or beta by now I'm not disappointed at all at my progress. Working full time as a programmer leaves me with very little desire to work at my computer when I get home. Also having the new house has left me with very little free time anyway. I'm still very pleased with what I've created so far and I'm hoping to have this finished up by the end of the spring this year.

2008

  • Finish rpg by the end of spring.
  • Make Debian my default desktop enviroment.
  • Start working on my next game. I'm not sure if this will be a sequel to the rpg. Or maybe a top down shooter similar to Project Skirmish.
  • If I can talk Nate and Jon into it we will get working on the mod.
  • Do some Factor hacking
