Obligatory Year-End Analysis

I’m really not one for posting random thoughts all over the place- but it is interesting to think over some of my activities while on parental leave one year ago and contrast that with what life is like now- how things stand and where things are going. Work at DU is good. It’s been very …

I have nothing whatsoever bad to say about FlashDevelop, but Flex Builder …
