Lets just ignore my lateness from now on.
I've got my hands of a few nice books to read, one of them being Are You Good Enough - 15 Ways To Build A Confident Mindset by some authors whose name I don't remember. Its a short read, but an interesting and thought-provoking one.
I got myself a nice desktop RSS reader. FeedDemon seems to fit my purposes well. Beats having to login to Google several times a day.
As for my progress into the world of game programming, its been a frustrating fortnight, to say the least. I've been going at this damned tiling thing for a very long time now. It just keeps going on forever. I've pretty much finished the rendering and loading parts. Only the collision detection and map maker remain, but they're the hardest part.
So that's all for today.

I'm late again
Okay, I've missed the deadline for posting again, but I had some tests this week so I have an excuse this time (although that didn't stop me from playing Prey).
In any case, I've just picked an interesting book to read - A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking. Physics was never this interesting. I've also been considering reading some fiction some time in the recent future, its been forever since I've read any.
I've also gone through a fairly frustrating experience recently. After following several tutorials on Tiling with SDL, I came to the realization that the best way to learn anything was to attempt to make a tiling engine myself, using my own ideas rather than using someone's ideas in my code. It helps me learn faster, and helps me unleash my creativity to its full potential.
I've also become a regular reader of Calvin and Hobbes. For some extremely strange reason however, by brain keeps perceiving 'Calvin and Hobbes' as 'Calvin and Hobbles', much to my annoyance.
Anyway, that's some randomness right there for you.
