Day 11: Lazy Sunday

Hmm... what did I get done today? This list is becoming increasingly difficult to think of to write these posts. If I wasn't in the habit of posting each day, I would rarely post at all since I have been doing the same things. Today was slightly different however.

I finally restrung my electric guitar which took about as long as I had previously estimated. I unwound the strings from the tuning posts, and every single string was stuck on the other end. I had to get a needle and push out the ball ends of the strings (pardon my lay speak, I have no idea what any of the technical names are). I tuned the guitar by microphone and a web app and placed it right back on my guitar stand to set for the rest of the day.

While playing chess over the last 11 days, I got into the habit of running Pandora in the background. I use it at night when I'm about to go to bed as well and it runs for however long that time length is when it asks "Are you still listening" and stops the music. Despite these things, it was still surprising that Pandora warned me that I'm already near the 40 hour monthly limit for the free subscription. It will probably run out later tonight actually.

I didn't work on that program that would automate my busy work for the upcoming week. I'm still waiting to hear some opinions on if that is a smart idea. Actually I didn't really do any programming today. I was about to a few times, but got distracted by other things. I might still crack it open before going to bed tonight though.

I posted my Series 66 study manual on eBay today. Trying to get at least $35 for a book that cost me $100 last year. We'll see how that goes. I just realized that I won't even be in the state when the auction finishes. I guess I volunteered my parents to ship that out if it's sold.

Finally, I'm excited because the last time I was at Barnes & Noble, I looked for a game industry magazine. There are plenty of magazines about games, but I was looking for more of a trade publication. They didn't have anything that fit the bill and I searched online with my phone and couldn't come up with anything that sounded right. Today I decided to look for a game developer forum or website, but when I typed game developer in Google, I stumbled upon the Game Developer magazine. I just purchased the electronic version of the current issue. So, maybe I won't be programming tonight.
