I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but I've been a lead programmer at Obsidian for some months now, maintaining the ongoing support for NWN2 that we released last year. Sometimes I found myself wondering why it was I couldn't seem to get a grasp of every part of the NWN2 engine. Being unable to comprehend every aspect of the engine has been ( Read more... )

Something fun! Which rules out anything to do with MUSHes and their 'code'. ;)

Awh, no MUSHing at all? :( I know how that goes, I haven't tried a RP place since Ineffable, and that was what, 2.5 years ago?

I've toyed around with WoW UI Plugins some, sometimes fixing bugs in ones I use, but I can't think of any ideas for new ones that haven't already been done, sometimes several times over, so I haven't pursued that thought too far.

You've been quiet for awhile. I'm glad to hear your talents have been
recoginized and made good use of in the meantime, since that's news to
me at least! ^_^

If you're serious about a side project though...what would you think about
a MU* *client*? You've done the server, so you should have a pretty ideal
perspective for taking the other end of it too.

Thanks for the good thoughts ( ... )

Wow, even you're on MotM now? That kicks the place back into a ( ... )

Yeah, I was going to post my thoughts on MotM, why I decided to join it, and what my initial impression is of it. But I figured that would be a longer post, so went with the above post for this mornng, with the MotM post to come tonight probably. :)

If that icon is representative of how you plan on approaching combat there, I fear for the playerbase. o.o;

Fwew! *thumpthumps chest* Down the wrong pipe I guess.
I'm sure you'll figure out some sort of side-project that's worthwhile. XD

I do understand what you mean though. There is something very fulfilling about fully handling a project from conception to implementation. Gotta hate that 'cog in the big machine' feeling as opposed to maintaining the whole of the machine.

Wow! I hadn't heard that you'd moved on to become lead programmer. Congrats! And it's good to actually hear from you again too. ;)

I often feel the same way about the books I've worked on, and I think that you'll probably see the same thing in any large-scale, collaborative project. I know the sections I write inside and out, and if the scope is small enough, I often become very familiar with the book as a whole. But when a project starts to reach 100,000 words and beyond, forget it. ^_^;
