Blogging & Current Projects
by Jonathan C. on May.05, 2009, under Uncategorized
I know I don’t really post much… I feel like, if I’m going to make a post, it may as well be about something worth reading. And maybe I just can’t see it, but I never feel like much goes on in my life that everyone would be interested in reading about. That’s not to say my life is boring! I just doubt anyone needs to see a blog all about it.
I do use my website, though, even if you can’t see anything straight from the front page. It’s all hidden away, in little directories nobody knows about. My secret stash, you could say. 
And at some point, probably soon, I want to at least add links here, that go to those areas. I guess I could explain a couple of them, though. Maybe that’ll be something worth reading?
http://www.jonathan.com/achaea - I’ll go into more on the game Achaea later, but for now, just know that this is where I make my maps available. “Maps?” you ask? I create text representations of areas in Achaea, layout maps that show you how an area is physically laid out. Achaea is a MUD – a kind of multiplayer text adventure – and its areas are laid out in rooms, each room having various exits to other rooms. All my maps do is help you find your way around in the areas.
One of my fellow mapmakers of Achaea, Asara Eslofe (that’s her character’s name, not her real one), also makes maps, and they’re very high quality too. They’ve also been around a lot longer, so more players use hers, and she has a lot more areas mapped then I do. There’s several reasons why I prefer mine… but I’ll let you decide.
http://atom.jonathan.com/ - Another recent project, except there’s really nothing to see here yet. I’m working with a friend on building something called Atom, which we will be using to create our own highly extensible MUD (again, a text adventure), but could conceivably be used for many other things. Stay tuned…
Wait, am I actually implying I’ll make another post? Hmm!

Cool! I have a friend named Jonathan, though he is thirteen years old (And I’m twelve). Is that your car in the picture?

I wish! No, but we had rented it for a couple days while on vacation, and it looks really good. Hahah.

i would not have considered this was neat a number years ago then again it’s surprising just how time shifts the manner in which you perceive varying creative ideas, thanks with regard to the write-up it really is great to read some thing smart occasionally in lieu of the traditional nonsense mascarading as blogs and forums on the web, i’m going to have fun with a couple of rounds of zynga poker, take care
