Yeah, I've been absent from my blog for quite some time now. Busy with work, busy with life. I don't find the courage nor time to code on my PC at home these days. I've started programming like when I was 13 on an old salvaged Commodore 64 which I still have and in full working condition ;-) . It was not until i was 16 that I was able to buy my first PC, a 333Mhz Intel Celeron equipped with 32MB of RAM and 3.2GB hard disk. I've been coding in several languages since then: DOS scripts, PHP, Pascal, Object Pascal (Delphi, Free Pascal), Linux shell scripts, Java, C++, JavaScript and now C#.
Anyway, at work I code all day long and the zeal that I had a year ago is completely gone. I don't know if I'll be able to get that back some day soon, I have several projects from my pre-work days that need to be finished.
All I do after I get back home is play games and sometimes the guitar! Yeah, I'm a hardcore player. I'm fully into Quake 3 Arena and Unreal Tournament 2004 (but not Chicken Shit, oh sorry Counter Strike). Painkiller is awesome, the atmosphere is great. In some way I find it "scarier" than Doom 3's puny attempts at making you scream your ass off. Tight dark corridors with zombies on EVERY corner, inadequate lighting etc. And what's up with the bump mapped and fuck faced characters? Agreed the light and shadow effects are nice but overall Doom 3 is pure shit. Let's forget that. Last week I got to try Tribes Vengeance and the game is very promising. Next up, I think I'll get back to Star Wars KotOR, finish Hitman 2, play Hitman Contracts and install my copy of Splinter Cell : Pandora Tomorrow. Oh and I think I have to get back to IL2-Sturmovik : Forgotten Battles again. Geez, that's a lot of games to play. So little time.... so little time :(
Ok, enough of my rants and ramblings.
