2018 ended up being a year of failure. At least, that’s how it feels. I didn’t get nearly as many goals accomplished as I would have liked, and in several areas I backslid, especially on the financials. Financials: 2/7 Done I started the year trying to be conservative, with just […]
It’s the end of the year, so seems like a good time to do another to do another backlog update post! For simplicity sake, I removed the ones I marked done or DNF from the last update 🙂 Oh…and…um…I added quite a few games so far, and I’m getting a […]
Next up in my run through of quick games via Steam is The First Tree. Picked up during the annual winter sale, this indie title caught my eye because of the beautiful graphics in the screen shots and high reviews. It also sounded like the sort of walking simulator-style story […]
Winter break for me this year is really a game heavy time, including playing through some more fairly short titles from Steam. Hilariously, rather than playing through the backlog, at this point I’m adding new one’s that are getting played quickly…does that level it out? Let’s say it does 😉 […]

Since it’s the holiday break and Steam is doing their annual winter sale, I decided I needed to burn through some of my PC backlog before I was allowed to buy anymore PC games. So first I decided to hit the visual novel Dies Irae ~Amantes Amentes~. I picked it up […]
Yesterday I sat for the Zend Certified PHP Engineer exam. Within 10 minutes, I knew I was going to fail the test, and less than an hour later it was confirmed. I not only failed, but I totally bombed it, getting what I presume would be a “passing” score in […]
I apparently forgot to update my goals for October’s progress, so this is a double update 🙂 Several of the “do once a month” goals are now finished, and making progress on two other big goals, so yay! Financials Credit card balance below $6,000 – so not happening 🙁 Emergency […]
Over the last two weeks I’ve been working on figuring out Zend Framework 3 and how to migrate an app from 2 to 3. Zend does have a migration guide as part of their ZF3 docs, but I found it woefully inadequate for the reality of the upgrade. I also […]
