I’ve recently been thinking about the story I want to tell. Originally, I thought it would be best to tell it through movies, but as my planning has continued, it has become increasingly more complicated and involved a project. While I still believe some of it could be told through movies, I am more inclined to believe the bulk of it can only be told through books (or rather, I may only have enough time in my life to tell it through books, assuming I get my act together and start writing).

I’m taking a Java programming course this term (starting in a few days). So, I’m pretty sure I’ll be marking off one goal very soon. ;)

I’ve also looked into the website Codecademy, and have progressed through a few “lessons,” so I have an alright grip on the absolute basics of JavaScript.

I would like to learn PHP soon, so I can get started on my website. However, my college’s course setup is really stupid; the first PHP course is, apparently, only offered during the fall (at the very least, this term didn’t have a starter course for PHP, only an intermediate level).

I had forgotten about 43Things! Anyway, this is to be my return entry.

After much leaving from and returning to the world of Go, I finally earned 1 kyu in a tournament a few months ago. After that, though, my online games started plummeting, and I stopped once more. I am now only playing once in a while, on an alternate server where I don’t care about my rank…

If I can pull myself together, my next entry may well be to celebrate my success. Just as easily, though, it could be to report the goal slipping farther and farther away….
