Better than bored. |11:16 AM| I've got a couple projects running at the moment, and I really want to get back to working on them. It's weird, this excitement is making the day seem to take longer, but not as long as being horribly bored. It just makes me more antsy and kind of hyper. Like trying to sleep the night before Christmas.
The two projects both involve programming. One is for the robot (new components coming in today) and the other is for a game modification. Fight off zombies from an old frightening house! Hooray! I always forget how daunting map making and script editing in Unreal is, until I sit down and start trying to read the existing code. Christ almighty, there's just so much stuff to wad through. It's exciting in its own way, but without a proper starting point I'm nearly unable to find my way through, lost among classes and sub classes controlling aspects of the game I wasn't even aware of, previously.
I'm sitting here, desperately wanting to go home and...type a bunch of misspelled words into a programming application. But I can't, so I've been looking around online for ideas for projects, as I have most of a robot here at my desk. If only I had a TV remote control, I could make a remote control robot. The detector is already installed, the code is very simple, all I need is an IR emitter.
Yes, yes, I'm still doing my job. But it's pretty slow for a monday.
