New Update

So recently I've been dedicating a lot of time to getting kick ass at starcraft. I reached diamond league (top 20%) and have been stuck there for a while, basically around top 5%. I dediated a lot of time to keep improving, and watching pros.

I recently realized if I put all that energy into something productive, I could probably get a lot accomplished, however it is hard to find the motivation on my own. Basically I decided blogging about it will make me feel more commited to doing something.

Since I really grew to love the starcraft community I figured doing something starcraft related would be fun. So I plan on making a starcraft community website.
Since I currently use ruby on rails at my job and I love it, thats what I am going to use to build it.

My first step is going to be going through my rails 3 tutorial book. This will get me a template site to work from, including having user accounts, profiles, and posts. Also it will help me get most, if not all, the concpets I need to build the site.

Another thing to help motivate me is a timeline. If I dont try and get things done by a certain date, I probably wont do it. I have a hard time finishing things on my own.

1. Step 1 : Complete tutorial book (08/01/11)
2. Step 2 : Features for site and basic mockup (08/14/11)
3. Step 3:  Alpha version (9/01/11)

Hopefully I can finish the tutorial book sooner, but its pretty long and I want to make sure I understand everything I am reading.

I have linked the book below, and also starcraft if interested.
