Sweet! It’s ready to go. I have created a custom Input Manager for you to take advantage of. Check out this quick video tutorial that will walk you through how to use it in your projects or feel free to look it over yourself.

You can download the package containing the demos and the files or just grab it directly from the repository on my Google Project Page.

Alright, I haven’t written anything here in a while and there is *sort* of  a reason for that. Recently I have been working really hard in developing my game framework, and finishing up some stuff. I have also been reading several books and trying to learn some new skills. Most likely over the next several days / weeks I will be blogging about some game stuff that I have put together. I’ll be putting together some demos and tutorials for other flash developers to learn from what I have done.

Also, a friend and I have recently begun work on building a flash game portal website. We are trying to make it all web 2.0ish, in that it’s going to have lot’s of community features. I say *we* but well, right now it’s more HIM building everything since hes the web genius hehe. I will be doing some more of the flash / promoting side of things.

Alright well it is day 7 of fasting and I feel fantastic! I decided that I would do a combination of water and juice fasting so that I could actually extend how long I fast. I read that I will get a pretty good detox on juice too, but that water is just much more aggressive with the detox. I purchased a juicer, and I am hoping it will be a good friend of mine for years to come as I will be doing juice fasts and making healthy foods from here on out. It is very exciting to see how this is making such a strong impact on my life.

Compared to my previous attempt at “abstaining” from something where a friend Paul and I just ate fish / fruit / water for about 20+ days (we broke before 30 days), I can actually say this has been easier, less work on my part. The thing I have noticed from these type of trials though is that it really gives you a lot of perspective on life, and a lot of discipline towards many other things. I believe that in my journey now to find discipline, god has been sending me answers…and this being one of the big ones. It’s actually funny now to think about it. For a long time I was searching for energy and motivation, and I was finally given the answer through me quitting my life as a Cutco salesman and starting into the world of online business….programming, blogging, etc..

I was recently asked for some advice on getting healthy / losing weight. After giving it some thought, I realized I had a pretty simple answer…so here it is: Read the rest of this entry »

Alright, so a couple of weeks back I decided I would attempt polyphasic sleep. The hardest part is getting past the initial 7-10 day adaptation period. One of the biggest problems with people who are attempting to do this, is that they oversleep which basically screws up the whole thing and extends how long it takes to adapt. Well, unfortunately for me, I have still not fully adapted to polyphasic sleep, because I keep oversleeping every 2-3 days. This has been starting to get very frustrating, as I have been pretty unproductive for the last 3 weeks or so, simply due to the fact that I am too tired to really do any brain intensive task.

What I have come to realize after oversleeping yet again last night… Read the rest of this entry »

Alright, I have been considering making a pretty big switch in my health lately. The polyphasic sleep was one thing to help me increase my energy and time. I actually discovered something today, and that is that my naps should only be 20 minutes, not 30. I’ve only done this twice so far but each time I have woken up feeling GREAT and actually feel myself coming right out of the dream as I wake up. This is even more of a sign that 20 minutes is my optimal number.

Now, I am starting to get the polyphasic sleep thing hammered down…it is time to begin focusing on other areas of my health such as fitness and what I am eating. It has been hard for me to get myself to go out and start running again lately, in large part due to some lack of discipline I think. Also, I haven’t really had the BEST diet going on nor the worst…but I would like to do what is best for my body. After doing much research, I have decided that a whole foods diet consisting of basically nothing but fruits and veggies, and a little bit of nuts will be the best diet for me.

A switch in diet like this will be hard, due to emotional and social conditioning that makes me just want to eat lots of junky stuff like ice cream…which I am munching on currently. I found the perfect solution to help me ease into this new lifestyle today while browsing the stevepavlina.com forums. Fasting. I’ve heard about it before, my friend Paul does it every month and has reported some interesting results…although he has a problem going through with it lately and also doesn’t come off of it like people suggest. I will attempt to do 24 days of nothing but drinking water and possibly a little bit of salt water to help me with my electrolytes. I also read something about giving myself an enema every day. I may decide to do that, not sure.

This will help my body to detox all of the nasty and wasteful things that are residing inside, as well as help to break me of all of my emotional attachments to food that does not satisfy my true needs. Once I come off of this fast, I will follow a whole foods diet. I have a cheap blender right now, but I may invest into getting a VitaMix blender which I have heard some really good things about.

Anyways, I will be sure to post details on my progress here so that anyone in the future may learn from my experience. Wish me luck!

It has been a while since I last posted anything about polyphasic sleep or my attempt at increasing productivity. Well, there has been a few things going on but let me just sum it up.

Well, for the polyphasic sleep… Read the rest of this entry »

Today went well, I didn’t feel like a zombie. What I did was take an extra 2 naps during the 1-5am. This is what Steve Pavlina had to do, so I’ll just keep to it until I get more fully adapted and able to wean myself off of it.

After waking from my naps I didn’t immediately feel that great, I was pretty tired and felt like going back to sleep. Once I got up and got going I felt perfect fine however, (which is actually how I feel after waking up each morning during normal sleep anyway lol)

Some people say that they wake up feeling fully refreshed and energetic but I haven’t gotten that yet. So far I’d say I am not really getting any benefit from Polyphasic sleep, while at the same time I have to say that I’m not actually doing it all completely right (lots of oversleeping etc…) so I still can’t give accurate thoughts on it. It’s getting a lot easier as I go on though, so things should start to work out a bit better by next week for sure.

Arg, I completely passed out this morning after attempting to keep myself awake. I didn’t even wake up until 9:30am. It was my fault however, because I was trying to sit at my desk and do some work. I will really have to get up and move around a bit during the 1-5am period until I am adapted. If I keep this up it will take me forever to get fully adapted haha. Anyway, here we go again!

I skipped the 1pm and 5pm naps since I was really not tired at all. I had a good 9pm nap. I’ll be sure to work very hard at staying up during the 1am-5am here in a bit.
