Introduction

Welcome to my development blog.

You'll probably never guess, but my name is Rob. Since I was about 10-12 years old I've been really interested in creating video games(as a hobby mostly). Well anyway, recently I took about a 5 years off from any of this stuff really to serve in the military, and now I am  a college student with enough time to get serious about this. So, I'll be keeping a blog case anyone is interested. And also because its much easier to see how far I've gotten when I'm blogging about it. Another project I had started in the summer(that unfortunately was lost, damn these harddrives) can be found at http://corruptedchaos.blogspot.com(RIP)

At the moment, I'm studying pretty routinely for the Sun Certified Java Programmer certification, and on the side I'm working on a 2D Java Game Engine(I've noticed theres quite a lack of them). The goal is to make it very versatile and scalable. Now, mine isn't going to be fancy or large scale or anything like the few in existence, but I plan to use it to make life a little easier to use in a lot of projects. And hey who knows? It may help somebody else too.

So yeah, besides all of this Java stuff I have a few other hobbies. One of the things I love most is to work out, and besides that I've started playing piano. I'm also really into techno. So yeah, you will have to forgive me if I go on a tangent sometimes when you just come to look at code-oriented stuff lol.

Anyway, thanks for visiting. Hope you'll enjoy your stay, and that you won't be bored to death : )
