Free Sony PS3 Games Because of Network Outage

*Update* The games are now available for download, as Sony has finally started the welcome back program... Check it out http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/06/03/welcome-back/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=WelcomeBack_060311


So Sony is doing a free game giveaway to its customers because of the long network outage that occurred.
Games that are available are: Dead Nation, inFAMOUS, Stardust HD, Wipeout HD, and Little Big Planet...Personally if I didn't have any of these games I would take inFAMOUS and Little Big Planet since they are two of the better games to choose from...but since I have both already, I choose Dead Nation, and Stardust HD or Wipeout HD...still looking at them to decide which to choose. Stardust HD might have more multiplayer fun for my wife and I :)

Finding time for everything...

     I have been giving thought to how to find time for things I enjoy to do as well as things I'd like to do. Being an avid game player and enjoying games on a daily basis can be very unproductive in many ways. There must be a balance to how much time is spent playing games and how much time is allocated for coding. Being the sole programmer and owner of Xelot Code LLC makes it difficult at times to work full time, play games, and find time to work my side jobs/ideas I want to create. I've given it some thought and here is what I think may be the secret to this problem...first of all there needs to be time management...This is key to any successful start up business. Without time management as a human being its easy to get drawn into the fun things that can be done with our time(Games, Outdoor activities, shopping, movies, etc).
     For starters making a schedule is one way to accomplish things that need to be done and also things that you would like to do. For instance, playing games every other day or once a week would be one way to still enjoy playing games, but also have time to be productive. It is something I will start to do with my time and get some of the project ideas done that I have been considered doing with my time.
