Monday, August 10, 2009 at 08:00AM Writing again. These chapters have the really big practical sessions which are actually quite nice to write.
But I’m not sure I’m having fun at the moment…
Life Sunday, August 9, 2009 at 07:01PM Number one son now has a bathroom nicer than mine. I’m not really a connoisseur of bathrooms really, but I can tell that his is nicer. I think it is the heated towel rail that does it.
Life Saturday, August 8, 2009 at 08:00PM A break from writing today, we are off down to Bristol to visit number one son and help him move to his new flat.
He has a lot of books.
Life Thursday, August 6, 2009 at 07:46PM There should be a corollary to the old adage “Be careful what you wish for” which is “Be careful what you promise to do”.
Some time back I promised to write some XNA courseware. A whole course worth in fact, based on my XNA book. This has turned out to be a non-trivial exercise. In fact I’ve been writing pretty much continuously for the last fortnight, around 10 hours a day, 7 days a week. And at the time of writing I’ve reached chapter 12.
Silly me.
The problem is that after a day of writing I don’t really feel that keen to trot out some fun prose about what kind of day I have had because, quite frankly, at the moment I can’t tell them apart. And I can’t even think of novel combinations of the “I have been mostly writing today”.
The good news is that some day soon you will be able to download and use my XNA course material. And I jolly well hope you find it useful.
