An Awful Long Hiatus

I'm back. I have a confession to make: I plain old forgot this even existed until Sunday evening while I was going to Cleveland for a concert. It came up in conversation (when I found out that I had been internet stalked) and that made me start thinking about actually paying attention to the old dusty blog.

So. This is my plan for Nothing Personal:
  • Regular updates, at least once per week, if not more. If I do multiple updates per week, it'll follow this format
    • Details of what's new in my life, et cetera
    • My take on some sort of large-scale scenario, issue or activity (though, I have to warn you, it'll probably be tech related most of the time. Either that or politics)
  • Meaningful subjects, which means anyone who's reading won't have to slog though posts like these (usually)
  • Eventual integration to my website (when it gets built)
  • The Nothing Personal webcomic! I know! Just what the internet needs! Another comic that's attempting to be witty, sometimes touching on video games, sometimes other issues. It's actually modeled a lot on real life, so it's not intentionally a Penny Arcade rip-off.

Now, on to business...

Motif Designs: I currently have a couple of projects running. I'm writing a database driven package called "Sponge" for the college's language department, which I'm hoping to expand into a more robust platform that other schools can use as well. It's running fairly smooth right now, as long as I remember to not break my stupid SQL databases.

I'm also working on two separate contracts. One is for a buddy of mine and his film company. It's going slowly, partly due to my laziness, partly due to the server being crap and partly due to not hearing much for a few days at a time. Rest assured, it's getting there.

Personal life: Boy oh boy is it snowy out. We've been getting pretty consistent snow for the past couple of days. Today was the first clear day for a while. I went and dug out Caitlin's car for her after work. It felt good being outside and actually doing work for once. It's not so cold outside...most days I walk around with my coat unzipped and it feels pretty comfortable.

I..guess I don't have much more to say at the minute, but hopefully this will begin to evolve into something worth reading in the future.

cheers
