Long time no post – a list of excuses!
September 24, 2009Hello there,
It has been, at the last check, well over a month since I last updated my blog. I have also not updated any of my other websites for this same period of time, and I thought that if I posted a blog and tried to justify why; it might just make me realise that there’s no good reason for this.
Drag Racer is still going from strength to strength in terms of user numbers but the morale of the regular users is suffering due to the lack of updates and involvement that I have been offering them.
This blog is still delivering impressive user numbers too despite the lack of content that I am injecting into it. It is very low-maintenance and I will have to try to make it my first visit on my daily web-browse so that I am more motivated to post blogs.
So, a little background. At the moment, Siobhan and I have been very busy not doing a great deal. Siobhan just started uni at Newcastle University (congrats) and I am recommencing my second year of my Degree at Newcastle College. We have just recently bought two rabbits, which are in the process of being trained to be given the free roam of the house, but this is proving difficult. I will probably put up some photos of the two little terrors on the Photo section very soon.
Since my Hackintosh had it’s harddrive faliure, I have found it really difficult to be motivated to spend 6, 7 or 8 hours in front of a PC writing hundreds and thousands of lines of code. I seem to have found a much better pastime in losing at online poker! This is going to change though, and I will not be playing poker online for atleast a few months now until Siobhan and I are more sorted with the furnishings for the flat, etc.
I have also just recently started a new job, at TK Maxx newcastle (lol), which doesn’t take a great deal of my time (16-25 hours per week), but now means that most of the time that I spent alone, and did most of my coding, (weekends while Siobhan was at work) are now occupied.
I hope this provides a good insight of why there has been a lack of activity around here and I apologise for this!
Thanks
Stephen
