Some random things to mention.
- For school I've been working on the Faethon Da Vinci project. This project is about building a piece of art in the style of Leonardo Da Vinci that with it's technique inspires students to come and study Applied Physics with me at Fontys University. Among other things I've built the website for this project to get the PR up and running.

Most of you will probably be interested in the short English version of the story. It's going to be a solar powered vehicle. It will drive on a Ross Yoke stirling engine. It will use a parabolic mirror to concentrate sunlight. It will use a south pointing chariot to aim towards the sun. The goal is to present it in Vinci, Italy giving our group a well needed holiday. After all, it's almost 2 months ago our group went to Paris for some team building.
Anyway, currently we have a Ross Yoke stirling engine capable off running on the sun. - Also, starting in about a week I will be teaching Game Maker at the Game Creation Masterclass. This Masterclass, organised by Media Plaza and Mark Overmars will be given in the Netherlands to people from 12 to 21 years old to teach them in a day the basics of Game Maker and of Game Design. You can still sign up for this event for just ?35 and you get a free Game Maker registration key.

Last year Mark Overmars posted a topic about this at the Game Maker Community - In other news, I've been promoted to administrator at the Dutch unofficial Game Maker Community.
- My previous blogpost was that Bacteria 2 broke the 15000 downloads. Well it's currently add . Gotten quite a bit more media attention.
- My website has broken the 100.000 unique visitors mark and is currently at 105.000.
- I've gotten my copy of Macromedia Studio 8 in about 2 weeks ago and I'm finally redoing my Game Maker site. Don't expect to see results in the near future because currently the buzzwords Web 2.0 and AJAX are still keeping me busy. I'm building a portfolio website as well so you can see some of my works demonstrated.
Other then that I'm still discussing terms to work on a big commercial game and unfortunately I can't tell you anything about that.
So far for my attempt to have just a quick post plugging the Game Creation Masterclass. Really do check it out if you are from the Netherlands.
Enjoy
