And it feels so good!

God, was I really gone for 2 and a half weeks? Hardly feels like a day has gone by.

In the past 2.5 weeks I got a lot done, such as:

I now gots Linux, Vista, and XP on my beloved puter, and I recovered my files.

I passed the halfway point on the alphas for Bridge Vista, and the beta BSPs aren't far behind.

I decided on a color pallate for Hangar which means I love how pretty it has potential to be so much that there's no way I'm not gonna finish that thing.

I learned a ton about programming so when I get around to it I am gonna go ahead and finish up my website, which will allow people to create public portfolios to showcase their work for free

I decided on (gasp) a timeframe for Bridge Vista development and right now I'm actually ahead of schedule

I finished the storyline! No more plot holes (at least none to kill the story) and characters fully developed, so the script shouldn't be far behind

I've been playing the H3 beta (just thought I'd mention how awesome it is)

And the big one-
I landed that internship which means:
a) I'm friggin LOADED (swish!)
b) I spend all day programming so I have no time when I get home but
c) I don't care because I love my job and working on Bridge Vista and there's no reason I can't do both, and to prove it I'm gonna get back to work on it right now instead of playing Halo 3. Well, maybe a coupla games first...

I'm interning for a small company that contracts for Lockheed Martin, so while I don't work directly for them, I work at Lockheed Martin. And the reason I got such a sweet deal is because my Dad happens to own the small business (really small: 5 employees and 1 intern =) and is big in Lockheed Martin because he just rocks at being an engineer.

And I got Red Hat Enterprise on my secondary hard drive, courtesy of the company, because I need it to continue to work on their website. Damn, I really am busy.

Hey all, it's good to see you, I'll be gettin back into the swing of the forum after work today.
