Hello, my name is Adam and I occasionally blog here. Don't let the recent content fool you.
Not that I have anything better for you today, because I have — quite literally — spent almost every night this week sitting here behind this keyboard fiddling away at code. I made myself sign an NDA so I can't tell you much, but I can tell you that I am very excited by it, and yes, I am aware of
just how nerdy that makes me. But think of it this way. Is a person who comes home from their job knitting and finds enjoyment in sitting in front of their TV (
or maybe in their new bed?) knitting for another 5 hours
"obsessed" with knitting?
Okay, so I admit my behavior is
a little bit obsessive. It could be worse. I could be obsessed with reading blogs supposedly written by Barbie, or making popsicle stick renditions of John Mayer. No, friends, my efforts are much more… sane. Right?
…right?
You see, I'm writing software. Software which is guaranteed to be used by at least one person, likely at least THREE people. Have you ever written software used by that many people? (Dad, put your hand down.)
Of course, then *cough* someone *cough* brings it up at brunch with your friends and you have to quickly shush them. You see, geekery is acceptable when talking to anyone one-on-one, and even in larger groups as long as there is a computer present. But you can't explain what software does and make it sound cool and useful and sexy with a cinamon roll in your offhand. Like, I bet you the guys who wrote the software for YouTube got ripped on a bit at brunch.
At least, I hope they did.
I know that some of you out there have Wii's. I know that some of you Wii owners play Guitar Hero. So come be my friend. I welcome all to come school me – I haven't even finished my "hard" career yet (too busy enjoying Super Mario Galaxy, or plugging away at Metroid Prime 3).
My Wii Number is 7338-7219-4786-0669, and my Guitar Hero 3 Friend Code is 5155-1070-9830.
If you want to be my friend, you can just leave your Wii Number and/or game-specific Friend Codes in the comments, or
email me, or use my totally rad new
contact page (there's a new tab up at the top right for it, too). It's safe to leave them in comments because nobody can communicate with you in-game unless you add them back, but I understand if you'd rather not.
I finally beat My Name is Jonas on hard. It took about a half hour of practicing, but it's finally put to bed. I could still use some more practice on the solo, but it was the intro that was really tripping me up and stopping me from progressing, and now I've finally bested it.
… and now I'm stuck on the Slash battle. Hard is
hard.
