Sigh
Well I'm at my dad's house on the computer. Haven't really done much today, to be honest.
I think I'm letting a lot of people down right now with VirtuBots. I just read a post on the DiscussionBoards on there that someone thinks that the site is dead, and I do understand what they mean. I just haven't been much in the mood for programming anything, but I should get the ball rolling on there again.
That's making me a little depressed because I remember years ago with GiroPets I was much more on top of things, I was more inspired to get things done on that site. I don't know what happened to me, but I think I'm really losing my touch.
What even makes me more sad is the movie AntiTrust, because, in that movie, it's all about Open Source and how a lot of the characters are developing all of this great software, bettering the world. The opening sequence (few minutes long) is really great. That's probably my most favorite movie of all time. All of those people are doing things great, I used to be like that, but I've, erm, just...lost my touch.
I think it's because, over the years, I've found more and more ways to slack off rathar than doing anything great. Sites like LiveJournal, YouTube, IRCimages, and Wikipedia are part to blame. What else to blame is DVD's, movies, TV shows, and other such things that get in the way. I remember a time when I was working on GiroPets every day, for hours on end.
What happened to me ? Have I reached a point of no return ? It seems like that every time I try to get my act together, I fuck it up shortly thereafter.
I know that I can get a lot of people to come to the site - if I really wanted - which is by listing the site on TopWebGames. That's how a shit load of people came to GiroPets in the first place. But if I do that, and all of these people realize that the game is a waste of time, with no updates, then they won't come back.
So, I haven't listed it. I haven't done anything to promote the site whatsoever, and I won't until things truly have changed and I do get my act all back together.
What's even scaring me even more is that I think Web 2.0 is going to put me out of my time, because all of this shit with all the fuckin CSS, XHTML, XML, AJAX, Object Oriented Programming, and "social networking sites".
On a lighter note, I think that the 2nd Seti@Home machine I set up is working okay. It seems to be pushing out Work Units faster than the 1st machine I have set up, despite the clock speed is slower. Perhaps it's because the 2nd machine is a P4 and the 1st is a Celeron.
As with today, I had to go to work, only worked till like 2:30PM, as we closed early due to poor weather. For the rest of the day, I've been with my dad. My dad and I finally mounted the replacement left front fender onto the Nissan, and got rid of the old one with the rust and the dent in it.
- Mike.
