It's been quite some time since I've sat down at home and coded for a hobby. Generally it's because I develop PHP code as a large part of my day job and when I get home, programming is usually the last thing I feel like doing.

That said, I've come up with an idea for a small utility that I think would be pretty damn useful, and it's something that would make the non-coding parts of my job a lot easier.

My various projects in the past have taught me a fairly valuable lesson: Giving the details of a project I'm working on is a surefire way for me to never get around to finish it. Therefore only Audrey and a couple people I work with know it's purpose, for now.

I'm a bit surprised at how easy it was to jump back into C#, a language I haven't messed with since I wrote IRC#. That's probably due to the amount I've learned as a PHP developer in the past couple of years.

It was a Rock Band Christmas. Between my parents we (as a family) got Rock Band 2 and The Beatles, along with a 2nd guitar. Picked up Rock Band 1 on the cheap and imported into RB 2 (Which cost $5 just to import, because video game companies are THIEVES.)

Aside from RB, my latest videogame addiction is Left 4 Dead 2 (another Christmas present, thanks 2.0!). Easily the most fun I've had in a PC game in a while. The developer kit came out a few days ago and I've been learning to make maps. My goal is to create a map based on the Nine Mile Point nuclear plant. Of course I expect the black helicopters to land in my yard once I release it..

Okay, I'm pretty sure I found my original backup in some strange folder I don't remember ever making because it's not in my normal projects folder.

While making some minor tweaks to the site, I re-uploaded the style sheet only to realize it was an old revision... I have NO idea where the correct version is located.

For the three bots and yearly person visiting this site, please forgive the crappy design. I'll have to work on restoring it from scratch.

Temporarily removed the "Recent Twitters" section of the sidebar until I can determine why it causes the page to hang several seconds before rendering.
