So, finally, after months with nothing besides this blog, I finally managed to glue together a new landing page for my main domain, starnut.com.

Since from June 1st, I’ll – once again – be working as a Freelance Flash and Flex developer, I created the page to promote my services and skills.

It’s all just plain (but validated) XHTML and CSS and I might create a Flash version in the future, but for now I’m quite happy with a search engine friendly and barrier-free page. I’d rather invest my time and more challenging projects… by the way, did I mention I am looking for jobs for July and August? :)

After a week of snowboading down the slopes of the austrian Zillertal mountains, I’m back with fully charged batteries and ready for action (script – hrhr). There are various things I’m planning to write about in the next days so here are some infos to get you drooling with anticipation:

• At Liip we’ve done some major research on the various methods of embedding fonts into AS3 projects with or without using the IDE. I hope, I’ll soon get my boss’ go to publish the essentials of our results either here or directly on our company’s blog.
• I’ve set myself the aim to develop a game in less than 24 hours (not in a piece, though) and the outcome is already at 90% status. Screenshots and more info by the end of the week.
• There is a new Devjam session coming up on the 8th of February, but we’ll start working on a new game since the Christmas theme seems kinda … misplaced till next November :)

So stay tuned!

I finally managed to set up a references page where I’ll keep track of the most interesting projects I’ve been involved in so far. For now, I merely included a selection of web projects and neglected the various software projects I contributed to as gamedesigner, illustrator, animator or – yet again – programmer. I plan to set up another page for these no lesser interesting projects in the near future.
