User blog:Minecraftproman1266/"Burn This": a Journal of a Caffeinated Developer-1


 * Well, this new series of blog posts is about my usual struggles to build, go to school, do homework, stuff, and go to my job at the same time in Boston. So yeah. Beginning the post now. Oh, and this is the "intro" posting. Not much truths here, just setting the scene of my life.

Admittedly, it's not that easy building a game in Roblox, going to middle school, and doing the unspeakable-working at the Boston Conservatory. On weekdays, I get up and drink as much coffee as possible (I can say from experience that it is possible to get drunk on coffee), then barely catch a school bus to my school. After slogging through school, most of my friends have school sports, or go home. Not me-I get home, grab a small snack, and dash out the door again-to work.

Running a couple of blocks to the Hastings MBTA commuter rail station (it's just a railroad crossing with two signs stating "this is a train stop. Look out for trains and stand on the rails to get the train to stop."

After arriving at North Station down in Boston (the most persudo-Irish, awesome, epic city ever), I get to the nearest source of coffee, chug it, and run to the Green line. Taking an USUALLY uneventful commute, I end up at work.

Seems impossible with all this going on for me to get time to develop on the best semi-open source platform around, but I do. I practice scripts during study halls, think of new ideas while on the train, etc. The trick to learning to script is not rote repetition-it's just reading what other people have made, figuring out which part does what, and trying out new ideas. Use every spare moment wisely-I learned through my life that time is precious.

Tune in next week for more truths from a Bostonian developer. And play my game Dead Revokution NOW!
