Taking the backseat.

Just as you think you're hitting a routine, life throws you a curve ball it seems.

No sooner had I been basking in the glory of a month of steady coding and re-learning, I hit a speed bump.  My work - real work - the one that pays the rent - has been rather lazy lately - affording me a good amount of time for reading up on things, thinking things over, etc.  Not that I'm sitting doing nothing - just not flat out busy.

Things are a-changing for the next few months with several projects landing on my desk with quick turnaround times.  By the time I get home I'll be pretty much mentally spent, and needed to have my head in the right place by the next morning.  This is the problem with jobs that rely on a fair amount of creativity... you have to bring it every day - and if it's not in you that day, you have to force it out.  This doesn't leave a LOT left over for thinking about code by the end of the day.

EVA will have to take a backseat for a week or so while I sort this out.  This doesn't mean I won't be working on it at all - only not with the regularity I have been.... still there's a LOT of little tweaks I can work on in the meantime - and leave the major code till later.

Still no screenshots (I'll save that till the end of the week when hopefully more visible progress is made) - but last night I got some of the bugs out of my first-pass collision detection for bullets and put up a 'test rock' to shoot at.

It's not perfect - but it's working.  Progress is made.  Life goes on.
