JMoe: The Mastermind

Schedules are a wonderful thing, rather like deadlines (I do love the sound they make as they go whooshing past). After a bit of consideration, I think I’ve come to a final schedule for updating. New posts will be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. They’ll be reasonably short (about a page of text on my browser), and cover a topic in a reasonable amount of depth. Sundays will be the day of the long post, which will be more in depth, and probably at least to start, a multi-part feature where I lay out one of the ideas I’ve had for a game design. I’m not sure how long that will last, or how much material it will cover, but it will hopefully be something interesting.

Just so this isn’t an entire fluff post, I’ll also try to list some of the topics I want to cover in the coming week (with the first “real post” Wednesday [tomorrow {must stop using parentheticals, especially nesting them}]). This week, with two days left, I’ll do a post about Robocup (and some of the things I’ve been working on for that), and something else that will hopefully come to me on Friday. I think next week will be all posts related to the C# and the .NET Framework, covering some of the interesting areas (more specifically C# itself, XNA, and LINQ). As for the game design series, that will just have to wait, as I need to come up with a decent working title for the game itself.

This is about 23 days late, but it’s my New Years post. I’ve finally decided that I should give up on writing my own blog software, and just go with something that works. My old blog was rather badly broken, and I just never got around to updating it. Hopefully WordPress will work a little bit better, and maybe even have a few more features. I’m hoping to try to update this more regularly, and have more interesting content (some of my opinions and views on things perhaps). I think I’ve turned on comments and such, so they should work properly. You can alway e-mail me (jmoe2008@gmail.com) if something doesn’t work. Otherwise, Happy New Year, and all that jazz. See you next post (hopefully in a day or two).
