>Time passes...

Passed the Java 2 certification a while back and I am having a grand time planning a virtual world program using the Java3D api (directx version may also occur if performance suffers. Heh.)
Still reading everything and anything: gradually making my way through two years of subscriptions to C++ Report (RIP), CUJ, Embedded Systems Prog., and others (msdn, java dev j., windows dj... lets just say that CMP is very happy), "Clouds To Code", Abrash, and the ever present Design Patterns.
