Last serious post I mentioned what my goals/projects were.
Well, now I'm pretty much concentrated on my 'job'. Unfortunately, its not a game industry job. But at least its tools.
I'm working out at UBC doing the front end for a general purpose physical vocal tract simulation tool. Its amazing how in academia you can be general purpose while being so specific that most people don't really have a clue what your doing.
I'm doing this full time, so that when I go down to Mexico later this month I can continue being paid. When I get back I'll finish logging my missed hours and the switch down to part time again. Unless I get a raise. But its still not game industry. And so I'm thinking I might push my paying work off to the side a bit more so that I can spend more time (and more importantly, concentration) on what I really want to do.
Yeah, so I'm going down to Mexico for three weeks. I'm going down to visit my fiance. Oh, did I mention I was getting married? No?
Okay, well then:
I'm getting maried.
Next March.
Actually, maybe I should reschedual since thats when the GDC is and it would probably be a bad idea to take off to San Jose right after getting married. Consuelo (the other in this whole marrige thing) would probably enjoy going with me, but I still don't think me being highly involved in not paying attention to her is really honey moon material.
Before you all demand an invitation, let me say that as a man, I am leaving the organisation of the wedding to my mother, my fiance and her mother (which is why its now in March, rather than in December as I was initally informed... I found out a week after the plan was changed). What this means is that I don't know how many people I'm allowed to invite, so I'm not going to invite anyone untill I know. Sorry.
I'm still finding enthusing myself in getting things done rather than getting distracted by all the small things in my life rather difficult. I feel like I should get this mostly worked out before I dive into the cement filled pool of the game industry and forget how to swim. I'm trying a new strategy of setting my goals impossibly high so that when I fail I am at least still ahead of the game. It works when I convince myself to do it. Mostly.
