This update is long overdue! The last time I updated I had recently moved down to Florida. Since then I great number of things has occured. I started working at a company here in Miami, working on software designed to help engineers maintain and repair airplanes. I’ve learned quite a bit working here. For one I had never worked with or used databases or web services. I think I enjoy working with the web services more because I work in Java which is more in tune to what I’m accustomed to. Unfortunately, the actual deployment and use of the web services still elude me. Similarly, I have no clue how to deploy an Oracle server, but I’m enjoying learning PL/SQL.

After that my big news is the coming of a little one. That’s right I’m going to be a father! While the thought is a bit daunting, I remain happy and excited. We’re still trying to figure out the logistics for the pregnancy and birth, but we’re confident all will go well. *Side note, these announcements are made in order of occurrence, not importance.*

Finally, my big professional game dev news: I’m writing a book, on Unity game development on Android, for Packt Publishing! Wow! I’m writing a book. I’ve been wanting to do something to give back to the game dev community, here’s my opportunity. I was originally planning to record webcast tutorials, but if a publishing compant wants me to do it for them instead, I’m game!

Thats about it from me for now. I’ll do what I can to update more often, but who knows. I’m not known as the blogger type.
