Update!

Hey everyone, just want to give a quick update on what I've been up too. Currently I am working as a software engineer at a laboratory, making laboratory management software, websites, and even games! Its a really sweet job, and I have been learning a lot since ove been here. I am currently working in PHP, Visual Basic, C# (silverlight), and SQL. One of the most challenging tasks I have had while here has been taking an old QuikBasic program, and converting it into Visual Basic, which is like taking a knight from the dark ages and throwing him into today's New York and telling him to work haha. I pretty much have the freedom to complete projects however I want, using the language of my choice. This is awesome because it gives me a lot of flexibility. My current project has me making a game for one of our marketing sites. WE decided on Silverlight, so I have been making a "Space Invaders" clone so i can familiarize myself with the language. Its almost finished, only a few more things to do, so I wanted to post a screen shot of what I have. Yes its Halloween themed ;)
