Gaming

Notes
Surprisingly accomplished more this month that I thought…been slacking on reading the OO book. Reason being is that I’ve learned all this already, though I need a good refresher. Still, when I read the book it’s like “oh, I know this….blah blah time for gaming”. With the CSS book I was at least interested to see what else I would learn. Still, my OO isn’t great and I’m only 50~ pages in so I’m sure it’ll surpass my skill at some point, probably soon.

What I want to accomplish in February

Shows / Movies

Books & Manga
Street Fighter: The Ultimate Edition Book 2

Notes
Wondering if I should just buy a Nintendo 3DS when it comes out and play Zelda: Ocarina of Time on that.

I think I’m outta novels and comics to read…I brought home around 70 issues of the Flash from my parent’s house during X-Mas….went through them all while I was sick (that’s all I did was read in bed during the last day of my flu).

EPIC SITE – after watching and re-watching the Social Network, I’ve kind of lost…passion for my EPIC SITE. Reason being is that the purpose of an EPIC SITE is
1. To learn and do something with current technology.
2. To do a great job with a minimal amount of work/maintenance (user-managed content is key).
3. To make some money.
I can’t do 2 and 3….with my EPIC SITE idea, nor am I sure I can dedicate the necessary work, time, and maintenance to the site that I know it needs (based on the idea). So I’m also contemplating what ELSE I can do my EPIC SITE on….if I really can’t think of anything, I may just as well proceed with my current EPIC SITE idea but I don’t plan to decide that until…..April. Yes, April is when I will start dev on my EPIC SITE regardless of how much I’ve learned. Meaning, I’ll have to learn a lot in the next 2 months. But it’s completely doable. :) I should always set reasonable goals for myself…otherwise I just procrastinate!
