Pfft. Fresh air. 
Dr. Dav: one would think so, but I have this bad habit of not finishing stuff
As I mentioned, I'm getting into the habit of outlining the entire program before I get started on it... an outline text file would look something like this:
And that's only the first few modules. When printed, it's about two pages in 10pt Lucida Console font. Looking at that, you can guess what type of game I was trying to make. The project was...very...extensive. I think I bit off more than I could chew.
In the meantime, I've read some of Arthur C. CLarke's books, read some Tom Clancy, Orson Scott Card (but those two don't count, I was reading them before), become reimmersed in politics (shakes fist at all our canidates).
At the moment I've gotten back into 3D modelling with Anim8or and DoGA. I've done a sort of starfighter recently; I'll have to post it and get some suggestions on it

I'm actually reading Childhood's End right now... on page fifty or so. When I first started my mind kept drawing parallels to Independence Day, heh
