I’ve gotten sucked into some conversations lately on social media and it’s triggering the idiot detector in full force. I’m working on some posts, it’s just taking a bit longer than I expected. It’s been a while since I’ve tried to do a bit more than just spew out what I’m doing in game or around the house. I’m also making a point of trying not to use my typical vocabulary (ya know…the f, s, d, c, and p words) because I would actually like to prove that I can converse with normal people occasionally.
It’s funny that I started getting back into the idea of building templates and throwing myself on the market for some basic work, and I find myself throwing my two cents in on a lot more than I had intended. I am still as passionate about coding as I’ve always been, and making something that is standards compliant is a goal that I’m sticking with. I’m learning the hard way that not everyone does this, as you can see by the lack of third party plugins that I am using. I’m also taking this time to learn some new things as well, and hopefully I’m going to start trying to get some things up here for others to use.
We’ve hit a tight spot here in regards to bills and cashflow, so we’re cutting back on just about everything, including games that have subscriptions. While I thought I would miss that socialization, I don’t, because I’m too busy working on other things right now and I’m seeing a better use of my time during the day. I’m actually getting things done more often than not, except for the yard, and that’s because it’s hot as hell and I’m not going out there.
What this all boils down to, is that the focus of things around here is probably going to change a bit as I get back into doing more web related posts instead of gaming and nose picking by my teenager. I’m sure it won’t stop altogether, because frankly, he’s not going to stop doing stupid things, and I’m not going to want to stop posting them. That’s the joy of being a parent.
