New Project

Well, turns out the work I thought I had in CVS isn't there. I don't think I've lost too much work and it might not really be a bad idea to start over again. But it's just that much more I have to do. Oh well, no time to wonder what if. Starting from scratch...

Unfinished projects...

I had totally forgotten that I had started playing around with writing a Sokoban game in Java. Thing is, it really wasn't so interesting from a design point of view, more of just how would I do that. I'd like to finish it off, but suspect I might just let it go for awhile. And as I write this, I'm remembering that I was also working on a Z-machine interpreter for Java as well.

So many started projects, none of them finished. I should just pick one and stick with it. So, I won't be working on either of these anytime soon.

Design

I'm a Java developer and have been playing with Java for quite some time now (more than 8 years). From time to time, energy and free time permitting, I like to "play" with new ways of planning and designing code. I do this by choosing something trivial yet something that I will enjoy creating as a project and then play with the project from a design point of view.

I'm probably not doing anything cutting edge with these projects. These are just a chance for me to experiment and learn. And I have learned quite a bit, though I never seem to finish anything. This blog is just my attempt to chronicle what I'm doing and what I'm learning.

Now this is a bit ambitious, but I'm hopeful of restarting some ideas I've been thinking about in regards to solitaire card games. Watch this space.
