+Since I wrote [the last post of
+2012](http://fmartingr.com/blog/2012/12/31/2013/) I have been wondering if I
+could finish -or at least, work- on all the projects or experiments I wanted
+to. The answer was easy: **no**. I just don't have enough time for all the
+stuff I want to do, so I have made some decisions about my projects.
+
+## Project _herobrine_ **_…dropped!_**
+
+!["Early draft of Project
+Herobrine"](minecraft-database.png)
+
+The first time I did something about this project was like 2010, as some of
+you have guessed by the name of the project, its minecraft related. It was
+intended to be a _wowhead-like_ minecraft database but not only on PC.
+
+Some features I wanted:
+
+  * Developed with django, returning json objects to the client.
+  * Client MVC based with BackboneJS
+  * Responsive design -so you can check with your tablet while play on your computer-
+  * "no refresh" -backbone-
+  * WebGL/Canvas block rendering
+  * JS Redstone circuit maker
+  * JS Dye maker
+  * Homepage with random background featuring user's screenshots (above)
+  * Interactive crafting/brewing/…
+
+Finally I have to say goodbye to this _jewel_ -and it's really hard because I
+love minecraft and I wanted this to happen- because of various reasons:
+[minecraftwiki](http://minecraftwiki.net/) already contains a lot of
+information -and it's really crowded-, the barrier of contents -I have to type
+in all the minecraft items, blocks, biomes, etc- and that this wasn't really a
+technical challenge -actually, some things are, but most of it are just
+database relations and stuff-.
+
+I want to prepare a future post with all the work I made on this project.
+There's not much code but a lot of drafts and ideas that could help someone.
+
+## Project _Serenity_ **_…dropped!_**
+
+This was intended to be a way to simplify my jenkins business. Since I need a
+lot of tasks like: compile, minify, copy, deploy, upload, test… I wanted an
+app so I just define everything I need on a _YAML_ file and call the app with
+`serenity <task>`.
+
+I have some drafts built, a base YAML file, and some features planned like
+integrated tasks, custom tasks in the YAML file, configuration…
+
+Haven't coded for this one yet, but fortunately I heard about
+[grunt](http://gruntjs.com/) who may be something very close at what I wanted
+this one to be.
+
+## ZombiePress ([github](http://github.com/fmartingr/zombiepress/))
+**_…dropped!_**
+
+It's obvious. I was making my own blog software but since now I'm a proud
+octopress user this is no longer needed. I will keep the repo online just for
+making me feel nostalgic in the future.
+
+## BlueBird **_…dropped!_**
+
+For all the iPad users… remember when Twitter changed the UI of the app? Did
+you remember the old one? I do. The new interface is **total crap**, the other
+was simply brilliant, and for me it was near the best one for an iOS app. I
+was hoping to get a clone working in javascript, but my knowledge of touch
+screens is not that good, I need to study more on the matter and then**maybe**
+I will try again, but I'm pretty sure some javascript guru will do something
+before that happens.
+
+## Project _Amaranth_
+
+The bigger brother. Recently I started a Vampire: Dark Age game with some
+friends and it remembered me to when I played rolegames over IRC. I started
+thinking that a online interface for roleplaying will be nice to have, because
+you can also use it in a live session to whisper, draw, etc. The brainstorm
+started quick enough for me to consider making it.
+
+## Project _RTC_
+
+Just born! -yesterday :P-. I want to make some kind of webRTC site to have
+conversations without the need of register, just create a conversation, get a
+link and you are set. It's more an experiment than a project itself.
+
+## Uvepe8 ([github](http://github.com/fmartingr/uvepe8/))
+
+I'm very proud -in a useful way- of this one and of course I'm maintaining it.
+
+For the ones who don't know, its sort of _video-to-html5-canvas_, a mix
+between apple's and sublime text's, but mines support transparency -I needed
+it-.
+
+There are some features I want to implement shown on the README file and a
+full code review.
+
+## Dharma ([github](http://github.com/fmartingr/dharma/))
+
+An application to check for 404 links on websites, a lot of things could be
+added to this, but for now is for playing around with threading, gevent and
+that kind of things.
+
+I have some _other things_ in mind I want to try, but that deserves another
+post -which is already in the works-.
+
+Stay tuned for more updates, and as always, anything you want to say: comment,
+tweet, mail or shout at me!

+summary"](header.png)
+
+Many of us -or maybe not, but let's assume that- have played at least one
+_MMORPG_ game in our life and we know that it could be _very_ time consuming.
+Level up, going to instances, getting better year… and if you was _hardcore_
+enough: scheduled raids.
+
+As we grow up we notice that the time for this kind of things fade away, but
+you still want to party with friends and get some_purples_. Until I found
+**Tweeria**, that **brilliant idea** of using your twitter posts to interact
+with your _alter-ego_ on a MMORPG world.
+
+!["My
+profile"](profile.png)
+
+It shares some of the features of common MMORPGs but the good part is that
+**we don't need to do anything else that _tweet_**for many of them, so your
+character makes an action for every tweet you post -I think it's not every
+tweet, just a few in a period of time, haven't checked it-. You can defeat
+_NPCs_, loot an item, going onto a dungeon alone… you can even save -or kill
+:P- your friends if you mention or _retweet_ them in your tweets.
+
+!["Upcoming and in-progress
+raids"](events.png)
+
+However, there are some things that needs user interaction: the raids. You can
+have up to five scheduled raids at the same time but you need to join for it
+manually. However, it's fast and easy: you just need to get into the events
+page and join the event you want. For gear swapping, selling items and buying
+spells you need to interact on the site too. According to the posts you can
+craft items and spells but that part of the game does not work for me, so I
+don't know how it works.
+
+!["Some tweeria stats
+windows"](stats.png)
+
+Another thing you can do to interact with your character is using spells. For
+that, you need to buy on the market first, and when you have them equipped,
+you can cast one by tweeting `!<spell shortcut>` on a given tweet, the game
+will use it_automagically_.
+
+Oh, did I mention that also have **achievements**?
+
+!["The beautiful
+map"](map.png)
+
+As I've said, it surprised me how the most basic idea can be developed into a
+very enjoyable game. Unlike _ogame_, _travian_, and its brothers, you don't
+need to check the site every minute.
+But to be honest… I tweet more often since I play _Tweeria_.
+
+If you want to check it out [follow this link and join the world of
+tweeria](http://tweeria.com/registration?fmartingr). You'll help me getting an
+achievement! :D

+Koronda (a game like Red Light/Green Light), with deadly stakes. With no idea
+who is behind this mysterious deadly game session, and no way of knowing when
+it will finally end, the only thing Shun and other students can do is keep
+trying to win…
