Back on board

It's been some time since my last post, and being a cold, windy afternoon in Brisbane, it seemed like as good a time as any to catch up on things. The main reason for my absence has been a reasonably serious back injury, which I sustained during a game of squash. Some early readers of DRDblog may remember that playing squash was my attempt at getting back to some level of fitness. As it turns out, it's brought more injuries than I've ever had before, prompting me to rethink my choice of extra-curricular activity - something that the wives of those of who play have been thinking for some time :)

I actually managed to get some work done during the weeks I spent resting up in bed and on the floor - thanks to my laptop and wireless network at home, but it was mostly catch up work anyway and unfortunately not a lot of development.

I did however come up with some new ideas for prototype applications that Moket is now looking at, as well as making some new contacts abroad (via Skype - love it!) in mobile/tech markets around the place.

So what's coming up? Well, DRD has a number of projects on the go and will hopefully clear those soon in time for the next crop of sites and applications. Moket is also pretty busy with some demo apps, as well as an increasing amount of committment and time spent in the growing Flash Lite community. We are an offical "remote" member of the Macromedia Flash Lite User Group of Boston, the first Flash Lite user group of its kind - congrats to Alessandro and all the gang for getting it off the ground.

I'm also of to Sydney tomorrow to work on a Flash Com game we're involved with for a major marketing campaign by Saatchi & Saatchi and Rocketboots. More news on that to come.
