Cocoa Life

I've created a new blog, to which I'll be updating my progress in implementing my first Cocoa program, based on Conway's Game of Life. The new blog is called... Cocoa Life.

Resolutions

It seems many of my recent entries have begun with, "It's been a while since I posted something."

I'll continue the trend today, but will include a resolution: Updates every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We'll see how long I stick with it. :)

Other resolutions: Exercise! This morning I put together an exercise schedule to do pushups, situps, pullups, dips, curls and squats on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and to run on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday (alternating Saturdays with a long run one week, and a long ride the next).

Lose weight! I've gotten what, is for me, fat. 178.8 lbs as of December 31st. Yeah, I know, a lot of other folks are considerably heavier, but for me, this is too much. I should weigh about 20 lbs less, so that's the new goal. 168.8 by January 31st, and 158.8 by February 28th. So I also put together a food log, so I can watch what I'm eating.

Try and spend more time with Kaylin! He's made a number of comments recently about wanting to do more with me. He wants to get a computer, and put it next to mine, so we can play computer games together. He seems constantly for me to watch TV with him. He's constantly coming into my room when I'm studying, or playing a game, to hang out or to show me the latest picture he's drawn. He seem desparate for attention -- and always was, for that matter. Unfortunately, his childhood consisted mostly of being told to sit down and be quiet. :(

Get a job! But of course, I've already been working on that. I'm spending much of my time studying Cocoa, and am currently working on a D&D character generator, to help the learning process. I don't know if I'll be able to land a job at Apple, considering I'm new to Cocoa, but that's what I'm going to try and do. I don't want to go back to Java, if I can help it, and Cocoa would be something entirely new (and I need the variety!). :)
