I’ve been sooo lazy with this blog. Truth be told, things have been busy lately, so I shall try and recap!

-Jason arrived back in sydney after a stint in HK. Good to have him back in town Don’t worry, we’ve got him back to work haha!

-My games company launched a few games! One for a client, one as a self-promotional kind of thing. In a latter post I’ll talk about what we do.. I’ve kind of concealed it up to now

-Gemma had a rockin bday! Minus 5 is an awesome bar. When we went in the temperature was about -15, did the whole ski jacket thing, it was great. After 30mins you’ve kind of had enough heh. Discovered a cool beer garden at some pub in the rocks. Can’t remember the name (the orient.. maybe.. no..) but yeah its begging to be rediscovered another time

-We are all envious of morgans new car!

-Somewhere in this rough order of things, was the Richmond airshow! Very very cool. Hooj dave and myself trekked up to the air base up there (battled against hick driving as well - quite a traumatic experience - nearly died 3 times on the road). Great day. Felt like a smaller version of avalon, but considering it was a quick drive up there, not bad! The Hornet demos they did were great - generally speaking there is a rule that planes cant fly over the crowd, who are assembled about 100ma way from the runway. One of the four hornets in their little performance broke off and flew low and fast over the crowd - we so weren’t expecting it and it was AWESOME! Ear burstingly loud, and the whole crowd was surprised. Show highlight for me, such a sweet sound.

-Been doing some work for digital eskimo lately. Check their site, www.digitaleskimo.net. Their home page is now all.. tilty and cool
-Cofa annual 06 expo is on soon - I did the CD again. Its looking great this year, I prefer the clean minimal design. On the tech side, we added some great navigation features, and generally its a nice advance forward. The code is so clean and beautiful, not the end user can see it, but.. embracing OOP, actionscript2 and classes for teh win
-Halloween was awesome, met some really cool people! Fun night

-Finished up my teaching at cofa. To be blunt, its been great. I really enjoyed the teaching experience. The sense of giving something back and seeing people take on what you tell them was very rewarding. Assessment presentations were the best, when you saw all the threads coming together to form a whole. As a student I always enjoyed presentations, and looking back I think they were important to develop speaking abilities, so I was keen on getting my students to do the same. Anyhow, all the marks are in, all the works in, semester is over. I’ve registered interest in doing another course next year at cofa, so we’ll see!

-Debs had a great bday night on friday. The summit was great, we racked up quite a tab. Fun people, great talks, great night!

Busy last month or so. Looking forward to summer. For most of the upcoming weekend I’ll be out of town, so that should be fun. The cofa annual expo is soon, which always promises a good night. And quickly enough, that’ll wrap up another month! Time flies by..
