About

industriousOne is about…

…doing what I love, and doing more of it. Or put another way:

Follow your bliss…

Doing what I love…

I am never quite sure what the next project will be, but I have a few ideas.

My interests are on the technical side. I love designing and creating good software. I love learning how to design and create good software. So there will be a lot of that.

I have always, as far back as I can remember, been fascinated with the act and experience of driving. I have enjoyed working on and with simulation software, and on the challenges of rendering large, realistic environments in real-time. So expect some of that, too. Probably in a round-about way; that is an awfully big topic to cover.

I enjoy life hacking and trying to get the absolute most out of this human potential. I would expect to be writing a fair bit on that idea.

I very much enjoy sharing what I learn. Expect a lot of guides and how-to’s, and plenty of open source.

What ever I decide to do, it will be happening right here, right out in the open, so expect a lot of unfinished business and incomplete thoughts. I have found that projects that are not “live” often have a difficult time escaping the house, and they aren’t nearly as much fun, so everything goes online as I do it. I expect they all will find their way organically and in their own time, and benefit people as best they can along the way.

I am following life and inspiration, but once I take on a project I will develop and support it fully. I’m not happy throwing creations away; I want to see them used and appreciated.

Right now I am working on…

…a new, much improved version of the Premake build configuration tool.

That covers the doing what I love part…

Doing more of it…

…means making a living at it too.

At this point I have no idea how that will happen, not exactly, and it is a bit premature to even speculate. Later, with more projects done, with more traffic and activity, I will give it more thought. Just like everything else, it — whatever it is — will happen right here live and uncensored, with my commentary on the process and the results.

To be a non-starving artist…and along the way, to help a few others do more of what they love, too.

Enjoy the site. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave a comment or a post in one of the project forums. If you want to reach me privately you can use this form over here.

Have fun!
