Its been silent here lately. For some part it was due to the fact that there was not much to tell (being without work really is utterly boring :-P). For another part it was due to the fact that I was pretty busy (looking for a job is boring too but a lot of work) and last but not least because the year 2013 has seen a lot of losses and disappointments for me and my spirit was to crushed to write something that would’ve been worth reading at all. Now this is the year 2014 and so far its been a lot better then the last one (I keep my fingers crossed that it stays that way). Some of the disappointments of the last year still echo into this one, but overall things are brightening up for me. For one thing I now not only found a new job, but I found a job in the games industry again! That not being good enough, I now work using C++ (which is kind of my “soul language”) and am developing a real 3D game thats not run in some alibi browser plug-in but directly on a mobile device! I’ve only been working at Fishlabs for about a month now but I already get that tingling in my fingers every time I enter the building which is a very good sign :-P. The team is great, the work so far is inspiring and the prospects are rather encouraging (Btw. if you’re a programmer and are looking for a job in the games industry, head over to Fishlabs.net and see if we have a post that would fit your profile! We’re hiring!). So on the job side of life its been a very gentle year so far. In the other areas of my life it has at least been a calm year (which is kind of an improvement regarding all the catastrophes I had in the last one). Now spring is coming in Germany and we all know that spring usually brings out the good stuff of the year :-P. So to quote my favourite Singer: “The best is yet to come…”.
