Hello, Geminispace. It's been quite a while since I last posted (over 2 months!) There's been some changes in my life and some learning. You know, the usual. I went back to unrestricted net access due to the necessity of studying for a job prospect I was going for. I think I definitely learned that the correct place on the internet use issue lies somewhere in the middle of where I was 2 months ago and where I was 3 months before that. Somewhere between connected at all times to a constant stream of information and completely depriving myself of the internet and the things it has to offer. Too little sends your mind to some weird places. Too much drains you so much mentally that you have no energy left to even go to weird places if you wanted to. I got that job by the way. I'm a Software Engineer for a small games company now. I love it, though sometimes it can be exhaisting. It's not like working on a hobby project. You have to put care and effort into it even beyond the standard of "good enough for me." That's not something I've ever really had to do before now. It'll just take some adjustment I suppose. It's certainly better than my previous job and I think my wallet would agree.
It saddened me to see that Drew felt he needed to leave the Gemini space. Drew was one of the influential figures for me here in the Geminisphere and I'm sad to see him go, though I will happily continue using his hosting services. I think it's important to acknowledge you don't have to be here and post things consistently to be a part of things, as I have demonstrated myself with this post, and these other geminauts have pointed out themselves.
It's Okay to Update Inconsistently
Today is my birthday by the way. Not that it's something I ever put much effort into celebrating, just a nice little note. My poor partner. She insists it should be a special day and that my birth is something worth celebrating and hyping up, but I disagree. To me it's just another day. Makes her angry :P.
That's all I really got for today. Just stopping in and saying hi. Letting you all know I'm still here.
