Android, Cell, Walkies



I'm starting over with Android development and this time I'm doing all the things that I should have done. Step one is reading the documentation from top to bottom. I was eager to get something working to show off to potential employers last time around and that resulted in a poor working knoledge of the sexy OS that is Android. Now that I'm reviewing the SDK docs I'm learning quite a bit about what Android has to offer and it's very pleasing. Ideally I'll have another OpenGL app up and running before the end of April.

Things are going well at work. I'm getting over being the noob and SN Systems software isn't so bad once you discover their handy training videos (anybody whos used SN System Software should know what I'm talking about ;])

Weather here in Austin is always so gorgeous. Yesterday I just had to leave work and go for a walk. I think I might make it a habit on good weather days.

Pay dayz!

Work definitely pays the bills, and not a moment too soon. Dodging creditors post enrollment is not easy or fun. I prefer to be legitimate and pay in full and on time but that would be difficult without income :D

So I'm sick of being a stupid noob. I've found myself spending too much time mulling over simple problems at work and I've decided to do something to change that. Tonight I mulled over how to create a precompiled header (I'd never used a custom one because I've never needed to). Baby steps. I'm working on building my OpenGL skills and I'd like to do some multithreading stuff. Eventually I hope to become that indispensable PS3 guy since nobody else seems too interested in the platform. It's a bit tricky to work on (to say the least) but that's all the better for the new guy ^_^

WIsh me luck. I'll need it.

BlazBlue coming to PS3 and 360 summer 2009! You excited?! I'm excited!
