HetalPatel's posterous http://dualblader.posterous.com Most recent posts at HetalPatel's posterous posterous.com Sat, 04 Feb 2012 11:08:26 -0800 A little late http://dualblader.posterous.com/a-little-late http://dualblader.posterous.com/a-little-late Well the weekly blog hasn't quite been update on a weekly basis, the past couple of weeks have been slightly hectic with the new semester starting.
I haven't been writing much of the second book lately, been distracted by other things....however I have been writing down ideas and even small sections
that I can use when I start writing again.

So unfortunately this week's blog is a little short, not much has happened this week.

Sun, 08 Jan 2012 04:10:13 -0800 Close to Exams http://dualblader.posterous.com/close-to-exams http://dualblader.posterous.com/close-to-exams Well this is the second post of the new year :D
The past week has just gone by in a blur, been busy trying to revise for exams and to a certain extent, that has been achieved.

However I still haveĀ  long way to go and there is just too much information to be crammed, I do not believe that everything they taught us will come up but its better to be safe than sorry.
Due to this I do try to stake awake late at night to revise but it turns into a movie/anime/writing session.

I know that at this point in time I have to concentrate on my exams and get them out of the way before I start going back into my comfort zone and do things that I like, the only problem is that
my mind doesn't seem to agree with that.

Even under such circumstances I have been able to revise, I am trying my very best and I know that to a certain extent that confidence is matched with the ability but I most definitely need to charge
ahead and revise just a little more to ensure that I pass with very good marks.

There isn't really much to say, I hope that this week goes well and that my hard work pays off in the form of good grades and I pass everything with flying colors.
That is all that I can say, I am not nervous like I usually would be so that is better, I am somewhat calm so I know that I can handle what comes my way.

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 04:51:00 -0800 Happy New Year http://dualblader.posterous.com/happy-new-year http://dualblader.posterous.com/happy-new-year

Well its now the first day of the new year, I did successfully manage to finish my first book before the end of 2011 So I am very proud of that.
I started writing a bit of the second book whilst I was in India but I haven't taken that any further yet as I have exams coming up, however once they are over I do plan to continue writing.

Preparing for the exams is a little frustrating as there is quite a bit of material to look over and find the important bits and bobs, it has in a way made me a bit more diligent.
During the lectures I never quite understood the Simplex method the way that the lecturer was explaning it so I tried to view a video on it on youtube to see if it was any easier to understand.

And surprisingly it was, I understood how the various values are brought into context and what is done those values in order to achieve the end Maximisation process.

Well I have also begun writing a diary about my time in India and do plan to continue it after my exams as I do tend to get lost in my memories.
This is it for the entry this time I do hope to continue my blog entries this year on a weekly basis, it is not a resolution but I hope to do it.

Happy new year :)

Sun, 23 Oct 2011 08:35:37 -0700 Things are getting together http://dualblader.posterous.com/things-are-getting-together http://dualblader.posterous.com/things-are-getting-together Finally things are getting better, the work is starting to slowly dissapear which is always good. It gives me a bit of time to finish off the final chapters of the story.
Managed to finish one today, just waiting for a while before I post it up, its been a long time I hope that people still read it.

I checked out a new program that allows me to do 3d designs, I am hoping to learn some of the basics so that I can design my characters.
The tutorial videos on youtube look awesome, it is really amazing how the characters are designed from just a small sphere. From the look of things it doesn't seem that complicated
but the videos were fast forwarded and I am sure that the original work took quite long.

Have been playing league of legends for a while now, it is quite fun, I get some inspiration for characters as well as weapons and it is generally quite nice to play it.
It acts like stress relief aftere a long day's work.

Recently just saw that Suraya launched her website and I am very excited for her, she has sent a invite for beta testers I hope that I am able to give some good advice and possibly even show
my work on the site at some point.
That would be great :)

Fri, 14 Oct 2011 11:34:23 -0700 Lots of work and so little time!!! http://dualblader.posterous.com/lots-of-work-and-so-little-time http://dualblader.posterous.com/lots-of-work-and-so-little-time Can't believe that it has been so long since I sat down to write any more chapters of the story or even rough ideas.
So many things have started piling up that I don't know where to get started,I know that I can finish the work but there is still a lot more that I don't know and I must say that the teacher at university is taking his sweet time sharing the information.

I am hoping to write the last two chapters of the story before I go off on holiday so that when I come back I am able to start the next book.
Hopefully things go according to plan, if not I won't be a very happy customer.

Got a few good ideas for characters in the second book from a game that I have been playing, already love the character designs so I just need to come up with the basic profiles.
After that I will have everything I need to start on the next book.
