Up and Onward

Posted by SleepinJohnnyFish on Jan. 11, 2012, 3:03 a.m.

As some of you may know, I left 64Digits for the most part about three years ago during college. I had a lot to do in a short amount of time and it just fell to the wayside in the midst of the life story blog trend. Since then I graduated directly into the height of the recession (September '08) and ended up taking a job with Petroglyph Games in Las Vegas. I went from there to Bally Technologies to work on embedded systems in the digital casino games industry. From there I went on to G2 Game Design, doing design and math work alongside programming prototypes and tools.

I've been in Las Vegas too long (not just for social reasons but also because I don't want to be trapped in digital casino games), and just this Friday I accepted a great job in San Francisco. I'll be moving within the next week and a half and starting before the end of the month, so it's all a big rush to get everything ready for my move and find a proper place to move or a place to stay until I find a proper place to move. I have it all under control, so I'm not looking for help here, it's just worth mentioning that I'm a bit scared of the move, since the last move was for my first job and this is for my first big industry jump (big pay bump, very different / strange city).

I just wanted to let you all know that I'll be in San Francisco working for BigPoint Games and although I don't really come here often, I am still interested in meeting anyone who would like to hang out once I'm situated in the city, and possible anyone looking to learn C/C++ or needing advice on entering the industry. So if anyone is interested, shoot me a message or leave a comment.

CAMD and I are essentially at the "heart" of America So that means: 1. Our state is shaped almost like a heart. & 2. We are far away from everybody.

@Extravisual - So I'll see you in a few days, then?

@Acid - Well maybe in a few years I'll make another move and end up near you guys. Not likely though since it's not a big tech area.
