Future plans with video games

I've spent the last few days staring at code.. i feel like my eyes could bleed. I was basically running around in circles for a few days. Just to end up back where i started.. but i was exposed to eclipse and the lwjgl so i guess it should come in handy next time i try to start those things up..

I've decided that i'm going to start making games without lwjgl because i'm just not ready for that yet, think i'm going to lead up to it, after i get a feel for Eclipse.. which i still think is retarded and made to help people that can't remember a couple of lines of code.. I just hate wizards in programs that are there to help you. I can write the code myself! thank you very much! if i couldn't then i wouldn't need the environment duh.

Every time i think about the future of this website and where it could lead, i keep getting hit with roadblocks. Our server doesn't seem to support cookies. Cookies are very important.. they allow you to login, logging in is important if you ever want to do..forums, or having a sort of gaming site. Well the kind i envision making. I mean long term goals sure, but it'd be nice to build towards it now.

I'd like to be able to set up a linux server and run my website off of that handling security and what not myself.. i mean not writing everything but it's one of those pie in the sky kind of things. Then i could move my website onto it, create a url for the webserver. And i could have forums and video games with scores for user accounts.. Then maybe do the whole indie game dev thing. Using java of course. I made a game maker type game a long time ago and not being able to show it to people was pretty depressing. Guess i still need to make the website more visually appealing at the moment though. So i should probably keep at working on what i can at the moment.

I used to have a forum but sadly it was a third party kind of thing, seemed pretty useful though. I think i'd like to make another in the future sometime. anyway i got Precal in about an hour. So i guess i should get to math studying.

First Java Applet!

wrote my first java applet! ok well i'm following a guide that makes it pretty simple, But it's the first step!
you can see it in all of it's crappy glory here

I become a fan of Notch

I've reworked About Me a little bit. I hope to move my Wishlist into the about me section but i'm a little worried what i'll have to do about the side menu on it.. I really need to update the button scheme on here. Like with drop down menu's and stuff...

But i made it so About me is it's own page so it's actually bookmarkable, not that anyone would, but it's possible! I should probably look more into how most people make websites.. i see question marks in url's alot. Php is used.. and that's what i use i just don't know it that well.

I really want to start making java games. I've been following notch's blog from the beginning.. it's Long. Think i might bug him about any advice he might have, he seems to have made a ton of games in his spare time. Have to focus in class to though.
