I seriously doubt anyone will find this node. I am writing it on the 3rd of December, 2002.

Why?

Because, having found an old journal (*not* diary), I found that this day was remarkably interesting.

And yet I forgot about it.

Completely.

This day was the day I completed my very first computer game. That is to say the very first game I wrote.

It was finally polished.

The first game with a menu, a little sequence when you finished it and everything. It was even in 3d.

How on earth could I forget that. I had overcome all obstacles of procrastination, and became a game programmer.

(yay)

I encourage you too, oh great discoverer of this obscure node, to start such a project today, or go back to one already started, the rewards though soon forgotten, are worth it.
