I changed the blog name for unplayable games to danies

Joke factory. Its going to be a blog where I manufacture jokes. so its a factory where I manufacture jokes. I read mastering standup and the author mentions starting a joke blog. and that is what I a going to do. This will give me a place to think about writing jokes. I don't think I will write any funny jokes but, its worth a try. no one will read this blog so there is no pressure to write jokes that make people laugh. Have a great evening.

I have not posted in a long time

My cames are unplayable because I have never made a game but, I hope that changes though if it does it I am sure no one will mind. Just a short post today

Its April 8 isn't that great

I thought why not start writing blog posts again. Even though said blog posts are unreadable. Since the name of this blog is programming diary. At least I hope that is the name. I will write about programming or my lack of programming ok, mostly lack of programming. I want to learn python, pharo and hla. Python so I use it with blender. Pharo because I like smalltalk. And hla because I want to learn about all the cool things like registers, addressing modes, etc.

This year was going to be the year that I was going to write code like made but, instead I have been going mad because yet another years has past and I have written no programs of my own design. Every year I say I want to program and never write a single line of my own code.

I hope this year will be different.

What I want to do with this blog

When I fist got a computer I wanted to be a programmer and make games. So that is what I want to do. The games probably wont be good but, games I will make. I don't know how many I will make but, I want to make at least one.

Today I will start on a game called computermayhem. I saw a piece on a television show about a place in japan where you can go and throw plates at a wall or something to relieve stress or something like that so I thought why not do that with a computer. Since I often hate my computer I thought why not do that with a computer. It will be a text based game at first and hopefully I will be able to turn it into a 2d or 3d game. But, I don't know how to make anthing more than a text based game now.

My dreams for this blog

Its no secret I like to program or more precisely I like computer programming languages. I want to make games but, have yet to make anything of value. I keep going from programming language to programming language until recently. No I think I am more focused on actually wanting to make a program but, I still have not make that illusive program.

I want to make computer games with python, lua, and pharo. I also want to learn how to create websites. So I hope to write about those things on my blog. I don't think my posts will be exciting but, write I will.

The Aha Moment or not

So a good idea I think would be for me to try to learn how to program and how to make computer graphics. I have wanted to program since long before I ever got a computer. So why not learn to program. I am not as excited to make programs as I was 2 or 3 years ago but, its would be a challenge. As for computer graphics I have wanted to make them since I heard about blender.

For programming I want to learn python. I have tried many languages and never learned any of them so I need to pick one and stick with it I think so I choose python. I think I want to make computer games. But learning how to program anything with python would be fine.

For computer graphics I want to make cars. I would like to learn how to make everything but, I particularly want to learn how to make cars.

Today is when I came up with the idea to give myself a year to learn about programming and 3d graphics because those are the things I have wanted to learn and I am not getting any younger so now is the time to just go for.

My prediction as to what will happen is that in a week I will get tired of my blog and my dreams an give up and dream about making programs and models for the rest of my life but never make anything, just say oh, next year I will learn until there is no next year. I hope I am wrong about my prediction.

Deep Thoughts for today and maybe tomorrow also

Why am I starting a blog? To get more sweepstakes entries and write about myself. Its interesting that I am embarrassed to talk about myself but, write about myself, no shame at all.  The keyboard makes me bold and outgoing. The power of the keyboard. I like programming and blender so those are two things I want to write about on this blog. I am terrible at make 3d models and programming in case you are curious.

I have tried blogging a few times before but, have always quite. When I started my first blog I though oh, sure I will be a good blogger but, was not a good blogger and will never be a good blogger but, that is ok. I don't want to be a celebrity blogger anymore. Its alright with me if no one reads what I write.

With this blog I want to challenge myself to see how long I can keep blogging without quitting. I want to see how many posts I can write in one year. So how many posts will I write between now and January 16, 2013?  Stay Tuned.
