Anyone seen my hobby?!
I was asked the other day why I don’t update my website more often.. A fine question, and I can only offer one answer.. I just don’t want to..
Er let me amend that.. I do want to.. I mean I enjoy doing this stuff, but I do it all day long! I’m one of those lucky guys who managed to turn a hobby into a career, but in so doing; I lost my hobby.
I program and work on computers, all.. day.. long.. I don’t much care to come home and do it some more. Its the main reason some of my online projects are suffering. It’s not that I don’t wish to make something of them, I just can’t get in the mood to do it.
The upside is, the folks I deal with at IBM are brilliant on a level WAY above me and I am learning a ton. So when I do finally get around to getting some of this done I’ll be that much better at it.
At this point when I get home each night I usually do one of three things;
- Play Call of Duty 4 in order to kill people
- Play World of Warcraft in order to get frustrated with the state of MMO’s
- Paint miniatures for my 40k Ork Army.
that’s about it. It’s typically one of those.. More programming or updating one of my sites just usually isn’t in the cards.. I guess tonight was your lucky night!
On the plus side my 40k Ork Army is coming along nicely!

I…guess I have to second that. http://advancedajax.frozen-o.com/ has suffered, along with http://frozen-o.com/blog/ just because I haven’t really gotten around to keeping them up to date…

Introduce me!
Unless you mean those in our immediate group, in which case…I guess I just second that as well. We lucked out in getting to work with a group of (mostly) intelligent and capable developers.
