This post is a sort of open promise to myself and those that care about me, but at the same time, I’m asking for help from anybody with fulfilling my promises. I made a lot of mistakes in college last year, and I want that to change this year. There was three main things, my health, my sleeping pattern, and my nonsensical leaving of things to the last minute.

First Year of College
Category: Me - Tags: collegeSo, I recently finished my first year of Software Design in Athlone IT. It was a common first year between Web Development and Games Development, and I flip-flopped between both for the entire year. Signed up for Web Development, and then switched back and forth in my head, but eventually decided on Web.

The Apple Effect
Category: Randomness,Thoughts - Tags: Apple, college, development, iPhone, Mac, Mobile PhonesI want to start this post by saying I am not a Mac fanboy, in fact I’ve hated everything Apple until the iPhone. I know I’m very late to the party with this post, but it’s only with the talk in AIT about introducing iPhone development into the Games Development course to replace J2ME that I’ve become interested in the sector. Granted, I doubt the college will actually introduce that, considering they thought it’d be perfectly fine to use Hackintoshes, and full development can be done with just the emulator in Mac. This obviously isn’t the case, and a full suite of Mac hardware – computers and iPhones/iPod Touches – would be needed to truly run an iPhone development module as part of the course.
Anyway, this brought me to realise how effective a single device can be in bringing people over to their platform. For the first time ever, I want a MacBook.
