beginBlog(#introduction)
So this blog thing has finally been around long enough to drag me into the mix. It took some time but I now see that a blog can be a very good thing, an easy and effective way for me (and others) to share what's on their mind. Hopefully the comments and thoughts I post will prove useful to those using or interested in using Macromedia Director and the Shockwave Player. I figured I'd start off by giving a bit of history about myself so that those who don't know me get a bit of understanding about where I come from and how I came to be here today.
Once upon a time... No, bad start...
I've been at Macromedia for almost six years now and I've spent that entire time working on Director. I started on the technical support team during the Director 6.5 days and then during the Director 8 beta cycle I transferred to the QA team. I then stayed on as a QA engineer until just earlier this year when I was promoted to Product Manager for Director. During my time here I've been on the front lines taking phone calls and answering emails, I've presented at a number of events and conferences and I've been involved in testing a number of key features. In addition I've been involved in numerous other aspects of building and supporting Director, from helping out with our documentation to writing articles for our website, you name it and I'll give it a go.
Folks, I love Director. I work on Director here at Macromedia as my job and yet I still go home and occassionally do projects in Director for fun. It's a good spot for me to be in and so for now, I'm enjoying the ride. I'll be back soon with something actually usefull, but for now all you get is the meet & greet intro post.
Cheers,
Tom
