I did it. G. convinced me to use his little C++ library called Neptune
for SNDK. I spent 2 weeks working on it and it’s now working “comme sur des roulettes”. I got to learn a lot about Neptune which is good since I will most likely use it at Intertrust. G. gave them a free license. Anyway, I tweaked it a bit , added a few cool stuff to it and fixed a bunch of bugs to my code as well. Since it’s compiling under .NET, the code is a lot smaller. The little device test is 2/3rd smaller. Gotta put that project a side for now. I got a lot to do at work. Maybe I’ll work on it in a few months. Although after seeing G. UPnP server in Java and how simple it is to write in Java, I can see myself giving up on C++ in the next few years. It’s insanely convenient as you become lazier with age.

Highway 101 sucks! As you guess, I started my new job last week. I was actually surprised to see that I can pretty much get there in 35-40 min in the morning. It was also pretty good timing on the way back at night after 7:30pm. My big mistake was to leave friday night at 6:30pm. HELL NO!
Took me 1h30min. I am better off waiting next time or going to work earlier in the afternoon.
Anyway, besides the traffic, I love the job already. I am working with geniuses and I am going to learn so much. I am already using Eclipse, writing Java and hacking the Palm OS on a crazy device from Sony that only exists in Japan. You can guess my next task is to learn Japanese ’cause this freaking device UI is all in kanji!

I talked to my old buddy nick yesterday and it seems that K.’s blog made him change his mind about the whole blogging concept. Check it out! Collin is just too cute in his buzz lightyear outfit. Infinity and beyond !
