Snow far snow good

I've always loved snowy weather, it happens so rarely you have to enjoy it. Yes it incoveniences you a bit but that is more than made up for by the fact that you can do ace handbrake-slides on the side-roads, and watching the my son play in the snow for the first time has been brilliant.

I've managed to do a bit more work on my iPhone game. Its starting to come alive now and I think it will be fun to play when its finished. A good sign is that I find myself just playing it instead of testing whatever feature I've just coded. It's turning into a bit of a beast of a project though, so I've no idea when it will be ready.

I've actually done a few workouts, and have gained 1lb in a week, not massive but if I can keep that up for a while I'll be happy. That feeling of aching the day or two after a good workout is immense, it makes you feel so good and is really addictive.

Been way too busy with iPhone work to even think about trying to sat into the GUKPT or EPT France event this month so I'll put that on hold till Feb at least.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

GL all

New years resolutions

Happy New Year!

Time for some resolutions, I like the fact that they are stored here so I can look them up in December and see how I did. Last year I wanted to try playing poker for a living, because I hated my shitty job. I failed to achieve this but I am glad I did, as playing poker for a living is nuts! I managed to sort out a new career direction and that desire to escape by playing poker evaporated, and I stopped playing completely for months. So for 2010 I want to

1) Get my own iPhone game in the store.

I haven't tried to do an app for myself yet, been too busy with client apps. I did that betting converter, odd-o-matic, but that was just the easiest idea I had so I could learn about app submission/programming the iPhone. I have started work on a little game that should be fun, not sure how I'm going to approach the artwork and sounds yet. I could go for the "deliberately shite" look, to cover up my lack of photoshop skillz.

2) Work out 3x a week

Need to get back in the gym, I'm such a lazy bastard. Going to do some weights and eat some pies [protein shakes] and try and bulk up a bit.

3) Get a new house.

A new house that can fit us and our stuff in is a priority, moving from one side of our kitchen to the other is like being in one of those puzzles where you slide the squares round with 1 square as a gap.

4) Get pregnant

Ideally my wife, rather than me! Would love another baby if we are luck enough to be able to have one.

5) Play a big-ish live poker tournament

I guess $1000+ is what I mean by big. I'll have a look at whats going on, see if I can satellite into anything.

Gl for 2010!
