Update

Welcome back ;-)
It's been quite a while since the last entry here, but I want to kinda "reactivate" this blog. Sorry for that!

So, what am I doing now?

Darkness Falls Across The Land
The Midnite Hour Is Close At Hand
Creatures Crawl In Search Of Blood
To Terrorize Y'awl's Neighbourhood
And Whosoever Shall Be Found
Without The Soul For Getting Down
Must Stand And Face The Hounds Of Hell
And Rot Inside A Corpse's Shell
The Foulest Stench Is In The Air
The Funk Of Forty Thousand Years
And Grizzy Ghouls From Every Tomb
Are Closing In To Seal Your Doom
And Though You Fight To Stay Alive
Your Body Starts To Shiver
For No Mere Mortal Can Resist
The Evil Of The Thriller


Listening to Michael Jackson's Thriller - a genious bit of music with an even better video.

Well, when I last was active on my blog I was working at the small IT-Developing-Company S2O (http://www.s2o.at). But because of some difficulties (mainly my boss wasn't able to pay me anymore (company was low on money)) I lost my job on end of November 2005.

So I had to find a new employment, which is not easy in the area I live (Burgenland, Austria). So I had a bit time to focus on my Girlfriend which goes to School.

But finally on the 27th of March I found a new Employment at the IT-Development Company TAC (http://www.reservationassistant.com). It is bigger than S2O, and we are mainly focusing on one Project (which is Reservationassistant (RA), a leading SPA Management Software) instead of doing individual small projects. And instead of 5 People we are >20 employees here, with seperated developer- and support-departments.

We are developing in Java.

In school I learned Java, or better I should have learned Java (I was not interestd in it that time, so most of the time I did other thing in programming lessons), so I could say when I started to work at TAC it was my first time with java. I needed to learn everything from the ground up (swing, even how to make a main method for launching applications) but since I did PHP, JavaScript and C(++) programming before it was not that difficult so I was able to build a SMTP-Sender-Program which I had to make for my application.

Now I'm evaluating J2EE to bring RA to the next level, from simple Client-Server using RMI to an ApplicationServer based solution.

At home I'm still playing with different computer-related things, so if I find out something interesting or face some problems I will let you know.

So stay tuned and have a nice day....

And as noone will ever read this entry so far I could put in some Garbage here ;-)
