Back in the saddle

Well it's been a very long time since I wrote anything in here, and almost as long since I've even visited GDnet. Hopefully that'll change soon and I'll start visiting more often.

The last year has been pretty crazy, what with the final year of my degree and all, but I'm starting a new Game Dev job on Wednesday, so hopefully I'll have a bit more time to stick around and actually put something in here. Mind you, I've said that before and not managed it.

Since I doubt anyone is particularly interested in what I have to say, and I don't have any immediate plans to start working on a project, this journal is mostly going to be for my own use for tracking my own progress in personal projects, as well as serving as some kind of reminder/motivation perhaps.

I dumped linux a while ago for a windows-only install, and I think I'm going to start learning how to use DX, and build myself up a toolset and set of utility classes (avoiding carefully the loaded word 'engine') so that I can hopefully start work on some kind of proper project.

I may also talk about stuff happening at work if there's anything I can talk about - currently I've no idea what project I'll be going onto, and how much of it will be all NDA'd. Hopefully that will at least make this journal of some interest to whoever happens to read it :).

Now I think I'll go have a browse of the active topics to see what things are like, and also see how many names I remember from years past.
