Ran into Tiff this morning on the SkyTrain heading into work. We sat and talked for a bit before she had to get off at Renfrew. It's nice connecting with people I don't get to see often. It reassures me that people like me and want to be my friend, even though they may not have spoken to me in a while. Also ran into Cassie while out at Blenz on her day off. :)
Figured out a semi-difficult problem while at work, which opens up lots more possibilities. I doubled back and took the time to get a good implementation of it as well, so that I don't have to hack in new features. This is good because it shows I have a handle on the project.
I've been reading a bunch of stuff from squidi.net and I'm excited because I want to implement some of the ideas in an actual game. I find the information inspiring, and it raises some good points in my head. I started researching a few new things and writing a bit of code aimed towards some of the ideas.
I had a nice chat with Kate and she mentioned that she used to do programming (with C#). I hope to have a chance to talk with her more about our common interest, because I don't have many other people I can talk to about programming outside of work. More contacts in this skill area is always a big perk.
