Silent Storms

Hi there! My name is Poika, and if you want to know more about me and see more pictures¹ Read the rest of this entry »

1. Most pictures were taken a little while ago already, but Anouska didn’t get round to posting them before [↩]

As some of you may know, I’ve been working on a TCG Management script. I’ve enjoyed writing it, and find much satisfaction in using my very own script. So much so, I will probably do more of this scripting stuff.
In the past few days, I’ve asked for help from people who are much more experienced scripters to make sure my script is secure and safe to use for those interested in it. I’d like to thank those who helped me make it secure:

Amelie, Martina (both at the CodeGrrl.com forums) and Samantha

Now, if you are interested in my script, teh shiny is here. If you have any ideas for future features or future scripts, please feel free to request. I can not promise I will do everything requested, but I might just grant your wish.

I like to think I am one to try things before writing them off as something I don’t like. Truth is, I’m not really. I am writing things off without ever trying them. Other things I’ve always wanted to try but just didn’t get round to it. So, I’ve decided to try and change that. Since I have no idea where to begin, if you are into any of these things, recommendations would be much appreciated.

1. Comics / Graphic Novels
I’ve never been into these kind of books, but a blog post by Krissy a while back, where she had a picture of a page of a graphic novel, just left me in awe of the kind of work that goes into these things, the drawings, the text, fitting the text into the drawings, etc. So I’d like to read one but I have no idea which one. Also, because I’ve been through a phase where I had a hard time reading books in general, I’m hoping graphic novels will be easier to read for me.¹ If you’re into them, do you have any you think I should try?

2. Disney Movies
Another blog post by Krissy² made me think about the Disney movies I’ve seen when I was little (and those I’ve seen when I was grown-up just as well), and while I love all those I’ve seen, I haven’t seen many and really want to watch more of them. I was thinking about just watching them all in alphabetical order or something like that. But if you have recommendations on which to see first, it’d be very welcome.

3. Classic English-language books
I’ve barely read any of those, though I do have a few on my shelf I’m planning to read³. Do you have any that you love? Anything I absolutely should read?

4. Miscellaneous stuff I’ve always wanted to try/do:
– parachuting
– riding a horse
– having my own kitchen garden⁴
– go on a road trip
– swim with dolphins
– visit every continent at least once

Do you have anything you’ve written off even though you’ve never actually tried it? What are things you’ve always wanted to try?

1. Whatever concentration/motivation I had for reading, I used to read what I needed to study for uni. Thus, the reason why I’m still “reading” book 3/50 in my 50 book challenge. [↩]
2. Oh, how you inspire me, ILU! [↩]
3. Jane Austen: all, Charlotte Brontë: Jane Eyre, Emily Brontë: Wuthering Heights [↩]
4. There’s something about growing my own vegetables, fruits and herbs that appeals to me. Something to do once I’ll finally go live on my own. [↩]
