A lot has happened this year and I have realized my life is a marathon at sprint speed, it's way to fast and long.
I've been mostly lurking here on the D newsgroups and most of what I've learnt this year programming-wise has been from the newsgroup. It's been a great experience.
My projects this year has been some research around CRC checksums (I'm hoping that I'll be able to contribute these to phobos) and my own home-brewed game engine. The engine now has input and graphics, this lead me to writing a ray tracer (next years project). Also learnt the basics for vi, what a tool! And last but not least I've starting to learn more about software security and will continue with the crypto parts next year. Recently ordered a type matrix keyboard. Started with bicycling. and biked the Vätternrundan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%A4tternrundan).

So next year...  I'll become a father in March/April, so that will be my main objective. Another thing that would be great if time allows would be to develop and commercially ship a product developed in D.

Haha, sure. If you weren't put off last time ;)
We'll need to reserve at least 1 extra day on the end next time, so we can
go and find a proper bar!

Actually, still got that 1 bitcoin I gave you for my room share last time? Checked the value of it recently? ;)

Well, ...

What I get from this thread is that a lot of guys are into music. We could strike up a band "The D Strings"*. Honestly, I feel the same, I should put a band together and not let my talent go to waste. I know more about music than I ever will about memory allocation.

@Dicebot

You may check out Ireland. Google are in Dublin and a lot of other IT companies come to Ireland too. Or you set up your own company and program in D. Game development is big in Dublin, I've heard.


*How much will we dchar-ge for the first gig? – Sorry, bad pun.

Wow. Little could be added, but my experience was similar to yours, albeit on a kinda different plan. Congratulations for having the power to get through and over it. I wish you all the best for the remaining of 2013, for 2014 and beyond.
