There's a few things to write about but it's mainly in regards to how i've been keeping busy recently. I've started down the rabbit hole of getting accustomed to using the developer tools for Counter Strike 2 and I have made a fair amount of progress, there's still some way to go and I have been working on a fairly ambitious map. The time seems to pass by very quickly when i'm working but I have been taking some pleasure from the process. There's a few things i've realised along the way and that is that having a higher degree of historical knowledge would be useful when constructing some of the environments I have in mind. Not that it is super critical but it does help with narrowing down the theming and giving me useful constraints to work with.
Moving onto the housing situation there isn't much to update on, i'm basically just in the early process of saving up some money to then go and look for more of a private rental situation. I estimate in about two months I will be able to start looking and inquring with landlords for the properties they've listed on the various sites but for now I think i'm going to continue putting my time into using these developer tools.
The support team that was working with me by taking me out for a coffee and chat once a week has now discharged me. I think it may have been useful to begin with but as time passed I think they and myself realised it was becoming a bit redundant. That being said I am thankful and wish everyone who worked with me the best. Other than that though there isn't to much to report on.
I may briefly spend a bit of time soon adding some functionality to the blog section of the site and have a system where I can easily reference images I may want to share in the posts but I can't imagine it will take very long. At the end of the year I may rework the blog section in light of having more than one year of writing to work with to make it easier to browse through posts.
