ÆFLASH

Has it really been two and a half years since I updated this site? And has it really been 5 years since I was actively animating? I guess it has. So much has happened in those years. Let's see, I have....

• Learned how to be a skilled programmer and software engineer
• Made lots of new friends and learned a lot about life, the universe, everything.
• Graduated with Honors with a degree in Computer Science
• Met an awesome girl who has amazingly decided to stick with me.
• Found a job creating websites and working with Flash and ActionScript
• Moved to San Francisco
• Joined the working world and become self-sufficient

As I've said before, I'm no longer the bored teenager with way too much time on his hands, and what I do want to do with my free time has changed.

Recently, I've been spending my time playing ridiculous amounts of Team Fortress 2. You can look me up, I go by the name [RH]Earl, and play on this server all the time. I also made a map for the game last year, which was really interesting.

So what is in store for aeflash?

First of all, I want to update this outdated excuse for blogging software with a more modern equivalent. I'll keep the current design, I'm still quite fond of it, but I'll actually code it in the right way. If anything, this site will become more of a conventional blog where I can post my own thoughts and findings.

I've learned so much about programming and actionscript, and even flash automation, but I haven't had time to play around with them. If I do put new work up, it will involve at least one of those things. I've been wanting to do some computational artwork (like Jared Tarbell) for a while now.

I also do plan to put up an old animation that was never finished and never will be, even though a lot of work went in to it. It will happen eventually!

I hope to kick some of this stuff off within the next month or so. I don't know who still comes to this site, but whoever you are, I'm tired of letting you down. :P Don't be afraid to leave a comment!
