I've been really distracted from posting, even with my usual sporadic levels of writing. I've been playing a game called «a href="http://www.secondlife.com"»Second Life«/a», which is a sort of simulated multiplayer environment where your "avatar" can interact with everyone else's avatar, and you can build things and texture them with your own graphics. Pretty neat, fairly easy to use, and nearly limitless in potential, at least in teh realm of building things and selling the virtual product online. Sicne all I do in my free time is play games, stare at the wall, and model in 3D software, it seems to combine the best of my evening activities in one ball of wax.
And then it will only get worse, 'cos I've long since finished off Doom3 and now I look forward to the September 15 release of the Sims 2, which will more than likely erode the last of what could be considered free time, because I «I»must«/I» play.
I need a better job, so I can buy more games and a better graphics card. Actually, I'm jonesin' on hardware...don't particularly care for too many games, except the two I've mentioned. Better graphics card, more RAM, and four 40-80G IDE drives would be nice too, cos I'll stripe 'em in my handy but unused RAID array.
