Here's to a great summer, everyone! I know, I may be jumping the gun on that one but I'm hoping things will warm up in May and see tomorrow as a new beginning (one without a hint of tonsillitis, hopefully, so I can get to work on the zillion other things I want to do with OSFlash, Arp, AS3 and Flex 2, and, of course, the courses!) :)
Returned from FITC only to literally expire on arrival. I felt that I was coming down with something the night before I was about to fly out to Toronto but I guess I self-medicated the heck out of myself ("no way I'm getting sick before this!") and I was somewhat in and out of it during the conference itself. Well, I managed to drag myself to a doctor in the morning after flying in, got the diagnosis, and have been bedridden since, sucking down antibiotics four times a day (yummy!) It even hurts to type! :)
Darn, and I wanted to get back and throw myself into things -- especially OSFlash, Arp (and maybe even contributing to FC64, the cool new Commodore 64 Emulator project by Darron Schall and Claus Wahlers) and getting ready for FlashForward Austin.
Toronto is lovely this time of year and I'm really happy to be back here to promote OSFlash, open source in general and the Creative Commons.
The courses are going really great, by the way! I've had another wonderful group of students. Today we dived into Flex 2 (after covering AS3 yesterday) and tomorrow we're going to be spending the day playing with open source tools and workflows in my Open Source Flash Development course.
If you're interested, why not drop by and say hello? (You can book online and last I checked there were about 50 seats remaining for the show.)
