Why aren't there any new posts?

Just in case anybody's wondering, I've not been updating Avid Insight as I've been busy with a new full-time job. I started working as a software engineer for Vertual Ltd. in 2011, and am thoroughly enjoying it. The company makes a very complex virtual reality training system for radiotherapy, incorporating stereoscopic display and head tracking.

I'm getting lots of opportunities to use and expand my knowledge of C++, graphics programming, and user interfaces (among other things). However, as it's a private company, the work that I do has to remain confidential. Plus, I like to get away from computing at least a little during my off-hours!

With that said, I do plan to write up a few posts from time-to-time in the foreseeable future. Probably nothing ground-breaking, but hopefully things that are useful.

Octapool iPhone app released

I've spent a little time this year working as an iPhone developer, and I'm pleased to report that "Octapool" was released onto the app store today. It's a free app, based on a unique pool concept patented by Aarcee Ltd., played on an 8-sided table. The idea is to let people experience a little taste of Octapool, and possibly encourage them to buy a real table.
