update 12.7,09

Well, I'm still discouraged but I figure I should at least give you guys an update. And to be honest, I don't think I'm going to be using blogger for much more other than these little progress updates from now on. I'm just gonna cut to the chase, no bullshit.

PROGRESS

I've been making a lot of progress with web development. Things I can now do include:
- Basic php
- Basic javascript
- Basic Apache server management

Things I still need to learn before I can have a real website up and running:
- More complex php functions and classes as well as a better understanding of the language and its syntax as a whole.
- I need to learn how to do a ton of stuff with Javascript. While I have some understanding of its syntax and structure I need to learn how to do some of the common things like write cookies and some other simple stuff.
- I need to learn how to use MySQL. This is a must for what I plan to be doing in the future.
- I need to get a better feel of apache and phpMyAdmin.

For those of you who don't know what any of this means, I would say I'm about 1/3 of the way there with it only taking me about 3 weeks to get that far. So ideally, 6 more weeks? Bah, let's just pretend I never said that.

As for other things, Google still hasn't contacted me(we're starting to push three weeks... what the hell) so I'm even more discouraged than I was before, and now I'm looking for a job because I need money bad. And the last thing I can afford to buy now is new video games, so that explains why reviews have been at a halt. Basically, I'm getting my life on track. The one thing I can assure you though is that when I have a real site up and running it will be something I am very dedicated to. I would say even more so than how I was for the first few months of this blog. Also, when that time comes I am hoping to have multiple writers(and I've even spoken to a few people who may be interested already), but if you think you might want to do some professional writing for a game news/reviews/article site then send me an email at kalaswwt@gmail.com.

There is a good chance I won't post to this blog for at least a week, but every time I make significant progress on the aforementioned topics I'll be sure to keep you guys updated.

Thanks for reading and making this a fun experience for me while it lasted. I hope to see you all there when I release the new site.
