RECENT ACTIVITY
Marked goal Don't say anything negative for one day as in progress.
Marked goal become an expert at epublishing as Done!
Still working on game 2, which is definitely more complicated. But I'm learning a lot from the process: 1)that it takes a hell of a lot of code to do just one process in the game, 2)how to use googlemaps and Minecraft to help with mapping out areas in the game, 3)how to write code in a better way than before, so that the parser has an easier time understanding what I want it to do, 4)that I need to be even more detailed than I myself am normally when worldbuilding!
Marked goal finish platform for DndOG as Done!
currently working on game 2 of this project; I'm excited because I learned soooo much last month (it actually took me a month and 3 wks, on the 4th wk I started on game 2). Now I have some basics down that I didn't before and so am able to plow through some things much easier - lol and at the same time, I'm finding new and interesting ways to confuse myself!

Note added to goal Write every day
new helium article: http://www.helium.com/items/2415699-how-to-count-in-spanish-spanish-jess-howe-counting-numbers. I hadn't done tech writing for a bit but I think I might get back into doing it, at least 1x/week. If nothing, it's a tiny bit of extra income.
... and then 2hrs 30 on design
1hr 15 research this morning...
worked at it 1hr 45 mins today, I made sure to highlight all the verbs for the game so I'd have it clear what stuff what did or could do (an important part of any class)
I've gotten up to writing out the code for the very start of the game; title and the 2 intro paragraphs.
Marked goal finish Yarrow fanfic as Done!
working on the dwarf game "Siesta non Siesta" this month; the script is written, just needs coding

Note added to goal Watch 25 documentaries
so far: 1) on making of "Das Neibelungenleid" on PBS, 2) about how Pixar Studios came to be, 3) about the future of Walmart, 4) one of the American Greed specials, 5) documentary about extra-terrestrial life by NOVA.
Marked goal Watch 25 documentaries as in progress.
Note added to goal Publish a novel
The Third Red Light has been up at Amazon.com for a couple months now. So it's kind of self-pub, but that still counts right?

not focusing well today; I got a few things in chapter 14 to print after 1hr 45 mins but that's about it... I'm calling it for now.
Note added to goal Be able to do 100 push-ups
30 is still my limit; need to be more consistent about this!!
while I haven't been totally there as of writing in LJ about my progress, I've started it up again this month because of NANOPY. lol, I even have some research today...
Note added to goal learn programming language
Currently I'm up to chapter 14; this year for NANOWRIMO I'M doing what I call NANOPY (NANO-PYTHON), i.e. studying Python during NANO. I *should* be done with the book by the end of the month, by which time I'm intending to actually write a game (small one). Done it 3 days in a row so far; today's an enforced rest day:)
