…or «Yet another case of out of luck sleeping», or «The disadvantages of being inspired», oh and not to forget a really good album by Norwegian band Madrugada.
It’s the same for the 4000nd time; I’m in bed trying to fall asleep, but can’t because I keep thinking about all the things I want to be doing. So I put on a pair of baggy trousers, go downstairs and brew myself a cup of coffee (decaf of course, pointless product I know), put some piece of cloth under the keyboard to keep the misses happy and start browsing the interweb.
Mostly it’s about work because (un)luckily for me my work is also a hobby of mine. I’m sure many of you know what I’m on about; it’s the hours from 9pm-ish and onward that are the most mentally active for me when it comes to reflecting on the many possibilities that come with being a semi-pro Flash developer. Som much to learn, try and investigate. So much I could create that I haven’t tried. That new Built-in object in the freshest version of the Flash Player sure looks like fun, and maybe I should get that Mac Mini and install it by the TV to use as a Media Center. The possibilities of new knowledge to aquire are endless and the ideas keep coming. That’s when I turn from staring at the ceiling to stuffing my face in the pillow and back again for the tenth time and ultimately decide I should have gotten out of bed 45 minutes ago.
Specificly tonight I started thinking about stuff I want to write about on this blog. So here’s a list of things to expect in the future:
- A guide collecting all the experiences I’ve had trying to set up a Mac-based Media Center. Some time ago I published a tutorial of sort on mac1.no, but that might be getting outdated and it’s in Norwegian.
- An article about a framework for large Flash applications I’ve been working on.
- Some thoughts on the problem of explainig what I do for a living. I seem to be working «with computers and stuff» as people tend to put it.
- A tutorial on subscribing to RSS feeds so I can get faster into people’s heads with my blog posts
Some of this might never see the light of day, but fingers x’ed!
