The time is now...

I can feel all of that energy and inspiration that I had possessed within these past few weeks fading away from me. So before that happens completely, I'm ditching any small projects I had in mind and going full force into the path of the storm. The website, the backend, the LSL Interpreter... those are my main concerns right now, so it's time to eat flow charts and shit code. After a week I'll be looking like the Happy Mask Guy...



That's all for now.

I'm still here!

Sorry, I haven't posted in a while, but don't worry I didn't forget about this. In fact I'm much more prepared to tackle the workload I will be dropping on myself. No new developments have arisen, but the idea factory is pumping hard. I probably would've been finishing some of the coding I have ahead of me but there was a lack of confidence boost. The biggest problem was that we couldn't think of a name for the group, the name which we will associate ourselves with. Now anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely hate coming up with names... I am very picky and always try looking for a theme rather than just the "wow that sounds cool lets go with that" approach. Unfortunately theme based naming is much harder when everyone else got to the punch first, so it was a struggling conflict between what real or fake words we could use that sounded like it "fit". Ya know? A name that makes you think "oh yeah I could see them making stuff like that" when you read it out loud.

Well, the name has been decided, but we're going to keep it low for a while because there's literally nothing to show for it yet. It's like cutting a ribbon to an empty field. Exciting eh?!

Anyway, next thing on the list is to bang out a logo for the group. Hey it only consists of two people but we plan for expansion eventually. I'm also fiddling around with developing a back end and web site, so everything is ready to start rolling.

As for the interpreter, there is some good news. I have almost everything planned out, and should be ready to start coding soon.

Well that's all I have for now, see you next post!

[PROJECT AURORA] Announcement

Another project idea popped into my head today after fooling around with my router (forgot my password and had to hard reset it :\). It's a nice feeling owning and having total control over your own network, so yeah you try and tend to it once in a while to make it perform optimal. Not before long the Metroid Prime 3 references started pouring into my head much like with anything else computer related I do. Some people like to...hmm, how should I put it? Fantasize about their systems? I'm not talking sexually, but no doubt there are some crazies out there too...

Computer machines and software have been a major part in science fiction multimedia plots, and although not accurately depicted all of the time (*coughCSIcough*) it just looks plain awesome! One of my favorite type of scenes are when a person is at a computer screen, presented with a UNIX-looking type command prompt, and they would just start hammering in commands off heart that do something cool like hack into the system, unlock doors, initialize a system lockdown, control docking bays, fire external weapons at target(s), upload coordinates to a pilot, etc.

Another favorite of mine would be terminals used to interact with certain systems, such as the Aurora Units in Metroid Prime 3. :)
Now if you've never played the game and are wondering what the heck an Aurora Unit is, then allow me to explain. It's one of many sophisticated organic supercomputers originally used for scientific purposes, but later became widely used for government, business and military roles.

A vast network links all existing Auroras, allowing them to access a tremendous database without peer. - [source:http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Aurora]

So yeah I've got some thoughts and fantasies right now for LSL, but pulling out a project this huge could take over a year. I'll probably need some help from more mathematically evolved people but time for worrying about that is no where near.

If you haven't guessed, my network is now uh-hum... Aurora themed. :P

Don't worry about the interpreter, I haven't forgotten about it. Just finishing one of my other projects before I even touch it.
