I've taken an interest in Project Euler, it seems like some fun practice for now. I also have to remind myself to start using ZF 2.0 when it comes out... or use Symfony 2.

I felt that this year's Comiccon was lacking something... I can't quite put my finger on it. The atmosphere wasn't the same, the booth goodies were almost non existent, and everyone there was less inclined to speak about shared interests. It definitely didn't top last year, which I really enjoyed a lot.

Speaking of, I think I found a new hobby, cosplay. It's more of actually getting the materials and putting them together to something realistic is what I want to do. I really tried this year to get the Spy right, but UPS screwed me over. There's always next year though.

I've got to say this protein shake I'm drinking, 100% Whey Gold Standard has really did a "180" for me. At first, I was maintaining my weight at 160 because I thought I couldn't afford to even eat as much as 200 grams of protein per day. When I found this shake, I can reach 160-180 without even trying on a daily basis. It's all cheap too, lasts for a good month, and combined with the blender bottle, is tolerable to drink. Once I really start to hit 3000 calories/200g protein per day, that's where I'll really gain. I forgot to mention, everything I'm eating now has little to know fat. I didn't think it could be that manageable.

Well, everyone is jumping on the Git bandwagon, and I believe in this industry you have to jump off a cliff if everyone else is doing it (at least a well known, popular cliff). Git is a version control system, but what interests me the most about it is its history. Apparently in 2002, the community that was developing the Linux kernel had started to use a proprietary version control system called Bit Keeper, developed by some commercial company. However in 2005, the relationship between the community and that company went down under, so their free use of their version control system was taken away.

Thus, Git was created. Now I'm not going to completely jump ships because it's the new thing out there. It's true, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I like subversion, and that's how I feel about it. I will however start to use Git to see what the whole fuss is about, because there's a supposed amount of nifty features it has over the other leading version control systems. I've been reading about how to use it, here's what I like:

• It's uses snapshots - Smaller repository, no need to copy files over again
• You're still useful while offline - Now you can commit on your own computer, not just to the repository
• It's distributed - Every checkout gives you the full repository

Not sure if I've convinced you yet, because I still need some convincing myself to see if Git is the end all be all. I'll be messing around with it soon enough.

Well, as you can see (or not lol), I've been spending my recent time on learning how to create PSD HTML templates and port them over. I get to do the full aspects of a Designer's task, as well as the front end work. This topic has been very interesting as it sparked my creativity a little (thanks Valve). It's not that hard really, all you need is some basic photoshop skills, and some creativity.

I feel I'm at the state where I have pretty much done all the most important tasks of Web Development. I'm learning much more at this rate, and I look at code in a much different way which is better. The only question is, what should I learn next? Hmm, I'm thinking I could do some Facebook API development, either that or android OS development.
