Boo ya garandma! Boo ya!

Well i've got some good news its been 16 days now since my last anxiety attack. It looks like i probably licked the problem for good! :) I see my doctor in two days.

A week and a half ago I had my birthday party. It was at steve's place. We had a bbq. Most people were there. It was a ton of fun! We mostly just chatted the whole time. I brought my famous pickled weiners, which were a huge success. Thanks to Chuck for the party favours ;)

Well I am currently reading the A+ certification guide i got for my birthday. I am now at chapter 10. I'm plowing through it pretty good.

I've been renting a lot games lately so I haven't got any work on programming my game done lately.

Playing: Dragon Quest 8

Reading: A+ certification guide

Listening to: Tea Party-Alhambra, Fates Warning-Chasing time

Thats it for me for now. Over and out.

Birthday Anouncement!!!

My birthday is coming up soon. June the third. It falls on a saturday this year. So thats when I'll be having the party. Steve, I was thinking if it's cool with you we could have another BBQ at your place for the ocasion. Since the last one was such a success. And this time we could have a fire. That would be cool. it's a week from saturday so there's lots of time to decide.

In other news i see my doctor tomorow morning. So i will see what he has to say about the new meds. Also I have been making more progress on the game. I'm on to the spell system, and then finaly the bells and whistles. I can finaly see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Well not much to say right now, so I'll catch you all on the flip side.

What a weekend!

OK. I've gotta start off by saying that this May 24th weekend was awesome. The highlight of it all was the BBQ at Steve's place Sunday night. We cooked on Steve's new BBQ, which is awesome. Jon brought along a mean pot of chili. It was really good. There was a good crowd there. There was a lot chatting, which was fun. At some point we played guitar hero. Big Daddy J whooped my ass at the song Ace of Spades. There was much booze and elicit substances to go around. A fun time was had by all.

The shift over in my medication is going well. The anxiety attacks are getting much better. I see my doctor about it on Friday.

Well, work on my game is again on the move. Today I started reworking the combat message system. And hopefuly tonite I will work on the flavour text.

I am watching: Star Wars Episode 3
I am reading: VB Game Programming for teens
I am listening to: Tea Party - Alhambra, and Helloween - Better than raw
I am Playing: Master of Orion II

Well thats how it's going. So long for now.

Still fighting the good fight!

Well here I am again. It seems I don't post here that often. Maybe it's cause i usualy have little to say. There's little going on in my life lately...

Well as for the anxiety attacks, they seem to be on a precise schedule. Every four days now I have one. Cutting out one of meds (as I mentioned in my previous post) seems to be helping but the problem is still here. Oh well... So my doctor said we would try changing my other med to an older med that i used to be on since i never had attacks with that med. So I'm seeing my doctor now on a weekly basis while the change over takes place. He seems sure that this should do the trick. I remain optimistic. If all goes well in a month or two I can start applying for work again. Also I am gaining more controll over the anxiety attacks, so allready I'm getting command over my life back. I am very happy about this.

Well I guess i should talk about my game again. I haven't gotten much programming done on this lately. I've been busy playing Master of Orion II lately, so that takes up a lot of my time. I do have a new demo for the game out at www.freewebs.com/elecgrmid . So feel free to have to have a look. Info is on the current projects page and the demo is on the downloads page of course.

Well thats it for me for now. Over and out.

A lot has happened...

Well it's been a little while since my last post, so i've got a lot to say. As I mentioned in my last post I had some interviews and they went well in fact one went so well that I got the job! The first two shifts went off without a hitch. I was enjoying myself a lot and i liked the people I was working with. But alas, it was not to be... My anxiety disorder caught up with me and on my third shift i took a huge panic attack... I realised I could not work under these conditions and so I called the manager and explained the situation to her. As a result I quit the job. Tho I will be getting paid for the work I did. She also said that i could apply again when I'm feeling better. So not all is lost.

I think I need to find work where I'm not in the public and will be more able to deal with anxiety when it comes.

I saw my doctor last week, and he seemed to agree with me that one of my meds could be agrivating the problem. So he took me off of that med. So everything seems to be going so far. The other nite I had the first first anxiety attack I've had in almost two weeks. And it wasn't so bad. I'm pleased with the progress I'm making.

Well time to change the topic. Last week I picked up some kamigawa magic cards. And I must say I'm pleased with what I got. All i got to say to kev is 6/7 flying tramle... Muahahaha...
Also me, my brother , and my niece went to see ice age 2. it was hilarious :)

Well time get around to talking about my computer game. You knew it had to come sooner or later. My niece did some drawings for me to use as enemy graphics. One was a cat mage, another a chick with a giant boomerang, a smiling fireball, and a blob. I am currently using the fireball and the cat mage. The coding is coming along pretty good, but things have slowed a bit since I've hit a alot of the pidly little nittry grity stuf. I now have a working combat system and inventory system. Tho i have a lot tweaking to do to the code so far. I should be releasing a new demo soom. So keep your eyes peeled. Oh yeah btw i will have a spell system added soon too.

Well thats it for me for now. Keep checking back here.

Programming again! Yay!

Well lately i've been back on the ol' programming band wagon. I've been working on a new rpg game i started a while ago. It's like a cross between eye of the beholder and dragon warior. Coding has been fun so far. I hit a huge snag the other nite with it tho. I spent 3 hours trying to figure out why my pics weren't displaying properly. I got so frustrated I literaly cried. Oh well...

Well in other news I got two job interviews tomorow. So hopefully I'll get one of them. Or if I'm lucky both! :)

Well thats it for now.
