Catching my breath

When I started Moket in July 2005, I gave it 12 months before Flash Lite was going to make my life busy. Well, it's been busy for some time now, but the past month has really seen an overall life in intensity with Flash on mobile devices. Of course a lot of people aren't convinced that all the buzz and hype around at the moment is fully justified, or that it'll actually translate into a (commercially) successful transition into a fully realised content platform. Time will tell, but we're still running with it!

I've been both amazed and encouraged by the level and quality of interest we've received since posting news of our impending employment opportunities - "If you post it, they will come!" I'm still taking the company through a growing business-planning phase right now, but we're very close to being able to actually grow the Moket team reasonably quickly to cater to the opportunities we're creating.

There's also been keen interest in our Adobe Flash Lite training courses being offered from May - September. If you're in Australia and want to know more, just ping me for some details.

And I'll be off to Melbourne at the end of this week for the Mobile Monday Melbourne networking event, where I hope to meet some new friends.

Finally, if you're also in Australia and would be interested in joining a new, soon to be created, Adobe Australia Mobile and Devices Usergroup (tentatively called "OZMaD"), then please drop me a line. We're in the final stages of working out some of the finer details and are hoping to launch in the next few months. Watch this space for more details anyway.
