Not to sound like a broken record, but school really does sap away time that could be used in the multitude of projects, large and small, that I am much more passionate about. At this point, it's still up in the air whether or not I will continue formal education after my Associates (which I get in a few months... yeesh). Even if I do decide to do so, it will have to occur at a location significantly distanced from here. I suspect, overall, that it would be wise of me to get my hardware\software certificates, but really, my interests lay in the Tastyspleen community, AGOKS, Pro Gam3r Magazine (yes, they are still alive), mapping, and the youth group here. The youth group thing is especially tricky, because it's directly tied to my physical presence here. This means that, at best, I have about another year to get a stable infrastructure set up. However, it happens to be one of the few things that has the availability of other people who can help.
With a lot of online projects, it's no problem for me to get things started, but for sustainability, it really takes someone else as interested as I am. As might be guessed, this is rarely the case.
Mapping is the thing that has fallen off to the side with everything else pressing in. I hate having aspects in my life that are easily displaced by my current situation. It just so happens that those are the things that are probably most important. I actively enjoy the activity of mapping - it's just difficult to get into it for some reason. I suppose it would help if I could be more mobile with mapping. If I could take a laptop into the hills, waterfalls, etc. - that would be nifty. It would probably help if I could have everything on a usb drive, and ftp the compiled bsp's to my tastyspleen account... hmm. That may be worth pursuing.
Anywho, I'm here at a lull in school, trying to get myself organized with what I need to be doing. I've taken Jujitsu back up after a long period. Physically, it's good for me. It's also good in a relational way, due to the close ties I have with the people I consider family at the dojo. Why I make it out to be a major time drain (2 hours a week at the moment) bewilders me. I need to stop letting these things back me down.
I want to map right now, but I don't have any of the tools. That little 2 gig flash drive has to be utilized for this. Something new for me to work on.
