Christmas In the SLC
Thursday, December 25th, 2003
It’s been a while since I have done an update here. Things at Stormforge are Pretty much dead as there is still no word from valve concerning the Halflife2 SDK. Urban Terror is pretty dead now. I’m not sure what SID plans to do for their “last hurrah” but it will be too late as the majority of the fanbase is gone to other games such as Desert Combat and call to duty. The only ones left are the diehards, and they will probably play Urban Terror for years after the rest of us are long gone. Just like the holdouts that are still playing Quake1, how long has that been now? 1995 I think. Quake will be 10 years old soon…wow, that’s amazing.
So, what am I doing with all this spare time? Well, I’m not currently working on any games at the moment. I am doing some small modeling projects to keep the rust off, like making some Logo’s and wallpapers for my favorite Linux Distribution Knoppix-STD. I am working on my degree in Information Systems Security. My schedule is pretty hectic as I’m going 2 nights a week from 6pm to 10pm and Saturday morning from 8am to 1pm. Doesn’t sound like I’m a full time student, but I am.
I also got a job a few weeks back, I’m now working for the Evil Empire that is Microsoft. I’m working for Satan at MSN. My schedule is Sunday-Thursday from 4am to 12:30pm. As you can imagine I’m not doing a lot of sleeping. It’s very likely that I may have to scale back my hours at work due to serious lack of sleep.
