I've been having a pretty good week. I visited my mom again over the weekend and each day since then I've gotten through another chapter of my required reading (homework) and I've managed to get some web dev work done and even fit in some couch time with the family (watched the very first episode of The Addams Family last night and part of a movie called The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother starring Gene Wilder through NetFlix).
I added some new web stat functions to Yacht-Shots and on Fuel Radio there were some adjustments made to the Premium Fuel page to help people keep track of their QuickPlay points available. I'm still formulating the idea for building another game for Dragon's Hobbies.
The request for another game came from TylerChuit, and he is encouraging me to use Flash for the game. (I say another game because a few years ago I built an online version of Conquest of the Empire. It was the first in-depth game that I had ever programmed. I learned quite a bit about PHP from that project, and this one might just be what I need to get into Flash more. I know that I can use PHP behind the scenes to provide information from the database, but I still have some experimentation to do to see if it will be beneficial for me to use Flash. For my final project in my "Introduction to Flash" class I built a website for my dad using Flash, but even though it met all the requirements of my assignment and my dad seems to like the site, it's not a very good example of what Flash can do.
This weekend my wife and I will be celebrating our 15th anniversary! Can you believe it? I guess to celebrate my wife wants to go look at some houses (her choice)... then we can go out to Carrabbas (my choice)! My grandparents and Uncle Sheldon (the guy who got me playing Conquest of the Empire, Cathedral, and BattleStar Galactica, among other games) will be coming to Florida for a little while, so we'll have to make some time for them too. And hopefully next Tuesday I'll get some game time in with my friends.
So... I have lots of things in the works, lots of ideas floating around, and lots of things that I'd love to do. Unfortunately, there is only so much time, so I'm trying to do my best to balance things.
