As you can see, the amount of new content on the site has been sparse. I’ve found that Twitter is my content publisher of choice lately. I don’t have as much time lately to put a thoughtful, well-written article together, but I can certainly find time to squeeze a nugget of information here and there into 140 characters. I thought about letting Twitter Tools post a daily digest of my tweets, but if you follow me here, it’s just as easy to follow my Twitter or FriendFeed (which aggregates all of my content into one site). That’s not to say I’m dropping the site, just letting you know where you can find more up-to-date information from me.
That said, here’s what I’ve been up to:
- Got a Mac Mini for the living room, hooked it up to the 50″ DLP, got a motion-activated webcam to tinker with, running Boxee and Plex (I’m favoring Plex more and more). Still haven’t set up Indigo or bought any Insteon devices yet…waiting to win the lottery…sheesh!
- Been playing a little Fallout 3 here and there, some Strategery, KDice, Galcon, and Pocket Tanks on the iPhone. Still searching for the ultimate RPG that can be played in small chunks of time.
- Read a few things about Mortal Online and love what I hear so far. The walled garden of WoW needs an open sandbox as a counterpart. Unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to play much past a Beta since I won’t have the time to invest. If it were available for XBox 360 or the Mac, though, I could probably find more time. PC games require me to be chained to my desk in the office.
- I planted a few things in my container garden, but nothing noteworthy yet. A rogue tree (a willow, I think) sprouted in one container, so I transplanted it to the yard and stuck some landscaping around it. It looks nice.
- Switched our version control system at work from Visual SourceSafe to Subversion and set up FinalBuilder to begin automating the build. I’m loving that so far, but it’s been consuming most of my time. It’s one of those investment things where you put a lot in it up front and get a huge return later.
- The kiddo has been consuming the majority of the free time that I have. She’s doing exceptionally well with her Cochlear Implants, hearing, understanding, and speaking. That’s another one of those investments that will have huge returns later.
- I’m trying to learn iPhone development whenever I can stand to dig into XCode. Visual Studio is just so easy for me to throw an application together. I just need to broaden my development base a little. I’ve got a couple of very cool apps in mind. If I can sell one for $.99 to 10,000 people, that’s nearly $7,000 in my pocket! Really want to get into that niche.
