Some Updates in Off Topic

Wow, I can't believe it's already been 3 months since I last made any blog post, or really talked to anyone about what I've been up to. I really have been keeping myself quite busy, but I like to stay busy or I might go crazy. xD
Around BYOND, I haven't done much except play some of my favorite games, such as NEStalgia and Dungeon Master. I've also started working on my own mod to Dungeon Master that's already become a complete reprogram of the game, with my own touches to make it more like a full RTS. I'll post screenshots and more details when it's closer to being finished.
My efforts to learn programming have fully turned to learning C++ and scripting with Python. There's something that really intrigues me about the power that C++ really can give you, and when I use Python it all seems ten times easier and faster to get something working.
I also have been doing a little bit with C#, trying to get a basic 3D game going with the Unity game engine. Unity is really nice and easy to work with, and little effort goes into putting graphics on the screen and interacting with them. In the coming months, I would like to have something to show for my efforts there.
In my regular life outside of all that, I've been looking much more into college. I'll likely be able to start in January of 2012. There's a nice course at the college I will try to attend online for web design and development, and I think I'm pretty set on taking that.
I'm not really all that interesting, but I do have some interesting ideas, and I definitely would like to use the next 100 days of my BYOND membership well! Perhaps I can do something useful to get it extended ... :)
