In-Traction

My head has been hurting of late. As well as continuing to plug away at WPF, doing fun stuff like creating optimised vector graphics editors and custom controls, I am having to develop in XNA and Silverlight for Windows Phone 7, Objective-C and Cocoa for iPhone and somehow find room to at least keep abreast of Android and Java. Ouch!

It strikes me there are just too many devices, platforms and API's out there. Luckily I have some great people working with me and I can at least leave HTML5 and Android alone...for now.

In other news, DiceBox RPG has been doing really well. Its just a shame we can't make it's counterpart (DiceBox) free on the app store. If Microsoft would only get its act in gear and let its developers in the UK ad support their apps... Oh well, sure we wont have to wait too much longer.

Anyhow. I now find myself well and truly in the mobile arena and I'm not sure how much longer this blog has left in it. I guess you never know, I may well end up doing some GIS stuff again at some point but, outside of mobile, that is looking increasingly unlikely.

Having said that, a new and interesting blogging effort is underway. If you are at all interested in smartphones, tablets and the future of computing then why not pop in on the new site at www.in-traction.com

See you there.
