2 I have finnished editing my book at long last.
3 I also found a large publisher to send it to (second biggist english publisher in the world).
4 Perhaps my spelling as improved?
5 My phisical pains are still with me but some of my mental ones have simmerd down.
6 I hate this number.
7 The net has been really dead latly for me.

Bah- it could just be that im almost never online anymore and always busy working on my novle. Anyways I hope you guys/girls are making progress with your projects and walks with Christ. I must go now however, hope someone here replies with good news (if you have bad feel free to post).

1 New person comes in say 'I am a writer and want to get published'
2 the board memmbers reply 'Hi we are writers we want to get published too'
3 they wait for another new person to come in and say 'Hi im a writer and I want to get my book published'

Do you guys see a prob there? It was like taking this place and all its activity and just redusing it down to 'Hi my name is Bildgpump and I have an idea for a game.' 'Hi Bildgpump, we have ideas for games that we want to make too.' and then just sit and wait for someone to make a game so we can jump on the bandwaggon!

Anyways I still go buy there from time to time to see if anything has happend. Well I have a little girl yelling and tugging at my shirt. I better give her some attention before she goes screeming for it

Just kidding. That's always been a bit of a "dark humor" joke to me...guess that's why I like it heheh

Angel, glad to hear from you. Sorry about things on my end man, but very happy the book deal is working out for you. God has his timing, doesn't he

It has been quiet, for sure, but I've done my best to stir things up..er, I mean keep the conversation going..around here

I wish I could say more buy my wife is going to pitch a fit if I dont get my butt in bed. Just thought I should let ya'll know that I have been dropping by here a lot but I just dont see any place for me to butt-in.

Keep up the uh- um- yeah that thing you peeps do here (Angel has no clue)?

~Angel~

Angel, what's the best Christian writer's forum? I'm thinking about asking around for an on-paper book illustrator for some b/w illustrations and a cover. Probably I'll ask around here first though!

Anyway, I have occasionally wondered how your publishing was going, sounds like you aren't going the electronic path now?

AmazingJas I think many people are finding that simply talking about things wont get them done. I could be wrong though.

OH yeah the TGS thing... Gump may have some intel on that. I see Mack on MSN off and on but he never talks to me anymore. I dont know how I got on his ignoring side, oh well.

I gatta git.

for the pass 2 1/2 months i've been mostly travelling
took my wife and baby to north america to see family, stayed in canada (victoria) most of the time, but often went over to US on the ferry for the weekends and some vacation times. sept was lovely weather so i was outside dirtsurfing and talking with the locals, had some good sharing the gospel experiences and met up with some cool christians.

last week i flew to germany for 3 nights to lead a muslim friend from iran to the Lord and help him find a good english speaking church. that was awesome, but very tiring , as i then flew back to north america, had to pack up my hotel, pack up my family and fly back to New Zealand. that trip took about 45 hours including driving 7 hours , ferries 2 hours, waiting in airports 12 hours, nd flights 12+10+2. So utterly exhausted (7th month old baby didn't like that much travelling ) but so happy to be home and back with friends and local church.

Everyone in TGS has to sign NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreements) before joining, so legally we have to be quiet. I wouldn't cross your fingers on it being released super soon however, but it's going to be really fun - stop bugging us about it.

okay, so I guess bugging you incessently won't work... darn.

yeah, I'm still here... my connection went down, but they couldn't hold me back... I think a conspiracy is going around... somebody is catching on to a big project that might just change the world... keep all eyes peeled. lol

------------------

Mack your getting prittyer every time I see a pic of you j/k but really you look like a crazy person latly. The first pic I saw of you, you looked so innocent. Oh and I will more then likly keep bugging you anyways- just cuz I love you matie!

TO EVERYONE: I keep having this prob with the thing not showing what im typing and then all the suddon its all there. so me spelling things right is a bit of a head ake here. grrr this is annoing.... and it is only happening here.

anyways you peeps be good
~Angel~

And yes, Angel, your improved spelling was the first thing I noticed when I started reading this thread. To that, I just wanna say: right on!

As for how my life has been doing, let me give a brief(ish) rundown.
I am now a college boy, w00t! I'm living at George Fox University, located in Newberg, Oregon. I chose it because it's a Christian college, yet at the same time, fully accredited. It rocks. That's just all there is to it. I love the heavy Christian atmosphere; it just allows me to instantly connect with anyone on campus at a deeper level.

I am finally taking some real programming classes. Back in high school, the programming classes were kind of a "learn at your own pace" thing. So, as you might expect, we didn't learn very quickly. But here, the teachers are very knowledgable and they actally teach you the value of proper coding style, something I didn't get anything of in high school.

But yeah, anyway, George Fox rocks. And it's totally all because of God that I'm even here. We (my family and I) didn't have enough money, and we thought we weren't going to make it, but at the last minute (like, two weeks before classes started), the college gave us just enough aid for us to pull through, for this year anyway. We still have no idea how we're going to pay for the next few years. If you care, please pray for me and my family. If you don't care, that's fine, I wouldn't really expect you to. This is just an online post board anyway, it's not like we know each other personally.

Well, anyway, I gotta go, I have work study to do.

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that suggests you tried

There is a need for coming together. It's a bit complex, and if you try to stick it into one box it may not fit and there may be unnecessary discouragement as a result. I think it's not just about specific coding help, or design help, or advice/help wanted, or other discussions about different topics, or general camaraderie. It's all of those things and maybe some more. I like it and I think there's a lot of value in it. Different people may have different goals and expectations for the fellowship, but there's a lot of potential, maybe if we look a little wider than our own first preferences.

I guessed that a near-release or new opportunities might be tying some people up (I've seen that happen many times) but not sure. If not, that says something even worse for the state of participation. Maybe if we try to identify the reasons and consider what we can do about it, we'd be further along.

So, yeah, it's not unexpected that people come, people leave, people come back . . .

Yeah, supporting more types of programmers is good. I would be willing to help anybody with Java questions.

We should really start a thred about failed game attempts. We could use it as a send the new-b too so he gets the idea that its not easy.

The whole process isn't easy, and i think this is largely because people try to run before they can walk, get frustrated and can the project.
