Reasons why I ain't posting much

Hmm... I have a gut feeling this belongs elsewhere... perhaps goof off, but it's too much of a seriousness. In any case, I need to vent. I could have done on my site, but then again my lessons wouldn't go to people who'll need it most, which are game-designer-wishers in CAA. So...

:rant:

Anyways, you might have noticed I don't post much often here. It's not just CAA; in many other forums I'm slowly and slowly posting less and less these days. Must be the amount of work I have to do now. So if you think I died off without saying bye, then you'd be wrong 'cos I still stick around and lurk :P

As days go by the life gets more complex and complex for me. As soon as I got seriously into lots of projects there are now so many ideas stuck in my head that I can't browse a forum. For example 1/2 of my brain's now filled with PHP coding, other half with multimedia 3D work. And between then are school work.

And from all this I have learnt one valuable lesson. If you haven't finished uni, and you want to get into gaming industry right now, forget it. At least, forget it until you finish all your other necessary works. I found out entering the 3D work industry, along with IT industry, and doing all that while trying to finish high school is a very near impossible thing to do.

So don't despair you can't do what you want now! Wait, and it'll come eventually.

Now where was I... Oh yeah, I was supposed to rant about why I'm not posting enough around CAA.

Well, I should go vote for the Bishouji contest (for my most loved anime girl!), but then again I'm too tired and busy with work. In fact, I have few more pages to type out on my PHP project (a open-source website management package), as well as my studies. And do some mapping and work on cs_cure.

All thanks goes to God (on that note, NEVER pray you get a good result, rather pray that you get exactly what you deserve, and then do your best. Always near perfect marks :D) because I got few of the results today and am very, very happy. Nearly topped a class, but that was only half the exam paper so I'm eagerly waiting for results.

And I won the MegaTokyo DeskMate CG contest! Woot! It made my day.

[/rant off]

If you read all that, thanks for reading, if not have a nice day on CAA. Just don't be like me. You'll go through lots of stress. In fact, my friend's nearly giving up high-school because of just school.

Hey it's no problem dude. I didn't know you coded php though.. feel free to AIM me some time and we can chat about coding stuff. I've got some pretty cool projects on the go as well. :)

The website management package sounds very interesting.

Yeah, just don't get so wrapped up in those projects that you forget about us entirely. Besides, we need at least one Rei fanboy kicking around. ;)

I pray for God to be merciful to me on tests a lot. Then again, it's because I'm not working as hard as I should, so perhaps you have a point there.

Well, chances are if it's a very popular language to learn then I probably know it. That and it's not long since I learnt how to use PHP. Realised it wasn't much different to other languages I know.

The package will be great, at least up to now. I have to write a customised flat-file database system firstly, which is going to be somewhat complex, then will be using MySQL, if I can learn how to use one efficiently in few days.

Thanks, well, at least I won't be TOO away :) Still shall be the resident Rei fanboy around here :D

Good luck to your current and future exams :) Remember God is fair, and WILL dish out A+ marks to people who deserve it the most. Perhaps a little bonus for Christians though ;)

Haha, life sure is hard while doing few things at once. Hey, don't mind about dooing n00bish things. I too long ago thought the Internet pages could be edited just like word processors. Oh boy was I wrong. So keep learning, and you'll get somewhere :thumb:

And that said, I should lurk a bit more and go off my merry ways for tonight, I must get back to doing my IPT homework and English homework. IPT is easy enough but I have around 6 pages of writing to do. At least it's due next week, but still.
