Thanks so much for pouring out your heart, the passion came through.

I believe my issue is not focusing on one thing at a time. End up getting caught up with the new
technologies like bitcoin, cloud and so on. They're nice but not what I'm really passionate about.
It's almost as if I feel I'm going to miss out on some big market. (Microsoft BOOM)

I know another one of my issues is rushing through, trying to get that quick dopamine hit when
I figured out a problem. It's like I've become the product of societies instant gratification

and easily give up when there's serious resistance. I wouldn't say I'm lazy because
if I really want to learn something I put in the time to learn.

I'm also a fan of the "bottom up" approach as reading about theories all day
makes jack a dull admin.

I have to find balance as I'm 28 and, life is already finite as it is now.

Again, thanks responding. You'll be seeing me around.

Woah...

Brother, I enjoy your life experiences stories. I almost feel like I'm there with you especially,
the Wall Street war experience.

Code is indeed the language of information technology. Also getting something to

work in the commercial world is more important than elegant design.

That comes later in the term "refinement".

You just made my night a good one to remember.

passage(6)							       Games								passage(6)

NAME

       passage - a game about the passage through life

SYNOPSIS

       passage

DESCRIPTION

       Passage	is  a video game written by Jason Rohrer about navigating the maze that is life and the obstacles, rewards, disappointments, chal-
       lenges, relationships and the inevitable departure that is part of the adventure of life.

       Passage is an art game. As a result, some people love it and some people hate it. Check out the links to places it has  been  discussed	on
       the website for some of the reactions.

       The  mechanics  of  the game are fairly simple. Your "score" is related to two things; exploration and treasure. Treasure pieces are repre-
       sented by blue stars that you find in the treasure chests scattered about the maze of life's challenges. Some chests will be empty, so  you
       must  learn  which  sequence of gems on the front of the chests means treasure is inside.  You have the option to team up with a spouse. If
       you do, exploring life will be more rewarding but some treasure will no longer be reachable.  As in life, your spouse  will  die  and  that
       death will slow you down.  In the end, you will die alone after your 5 minutes is up.

       The  most interesting part about this game is the emotions it evokes within the player of the game. The ultra-low-res pixel art helps here,
       by not being too distracting and by leaving plenty room for viewer interpretation.

       The followup to Passage is Gravitation, another art game by Jason Rohrer.

USAGE

       Passage has no command-line options.

       The arrow keys move the player around.

       The Esc key is used to quit the game.

       The game resolution and use of fullscreen or a window can be set by editing the files in /etc/passage.
