Ah, spring. A month of new beginnings, a month for reconciliation ... and even more god damned assignments!

But lets talk about what good things are going on in the land of me. Well, I've started to dabble in the world of PSP Homebrew production. What was once a brick posing as an mp3 player, is now the portal to my gaming heritage thanks to custom firmware. So now I've decided I'd take a stint at the old homebrew side of things and see what I can come up with. I've done C++ and OpenGL programming before, so I should hopefully be able to throw some of that about and see what the little thing says about it.

Actually, I may start by doing something simple. We'll see.

What else ... oh yes, my assignments. As much as I despise the little buggers, some are actually quite creative and fun. Creative Technologies, for example, asks us (as in groups) to create something to do with IPTV. In our groups case, something like Top Gear but for video games. Should be a riot, provided we all pull our weight on the workload. Data Networks and the Web asks us to make a *gasp* Website that connects to a database (i.e. e-mail notification system). As tediously simple as that sounds, it gives me a chance to splash out on the site design itself. If anyone has seen flyakite's website, thats a similar concept to what I want to achieve ... sometime soon D:

Personal stuff now. It's all a bit quiet on the homefront, quite boring actually. I've just finished my last bit of commission work and taking a break. So if anyone wants to drop me a line on anything 3d based (not characters, at least not yet) please do so ... just give it a week or so. Friday just gone was quite fun, saw a buddy outside GAME at around 8:30am with his girlfriend waiting to pick up FFXII on it's release. I thought it was quite cool of them, til they told me they had been there since 5am o_O. So I hung around in the off-chance they collapsed of sleep-deprivation.

In a previous entry, I mentioned a fan-fic I was contemplating. Well, as slowly as it's going I'm in the process of writing up the intro. Be warned however, I (and this is with extreme emphasis) suck at writing stories. Scripts, piece of cake, but into actual narrative? Like pissing on an oil rig fire, pointless.

ANYWAY, I'm sure you filthy rabble have better things to do than sit around reading about my woes and such. So get on out there and do something productive.

Like what?

Hell if I know.
