What's new at jschilling.net?

Yes, this is the boring web site of John M. Schilling from East Lansing, Michigan Minneapolis, Minnesota Oakland, California. This site contains information about the work I do (Macintosh application development), my nerdy hobbies (snake keeping and Macs), my friends (both of them), my cats, and who I am. Please feel free to look around and be glad that there are people in this world who lead more boring lives than yourself.

One of my brother's closest friends passed away this weekend. I considered Mike a friend also, and he was one helluva great guy.

The World Famous SnakeCam is now online

I'll be putting the rest of the site up soon with the new design.

I landed a job (IT) at MSU shortly after moving back, much to my amazement. Looks like I'll be here to stay. I've slowly started to update some of my apps (BwanaDik, Solscape) to work with Leopard, but don't hold your breath waiting for any other apps to get a refresh. I really don't have the urge to work on any of my freeware stuff these days. But who knows, the bug may strike again. Maybe I'll start churning out iPhone apps if Apple ever decides to stop being so condescending to their developer base in this regard.

I've had quite the crazy year so far. Started off unemployed and unable to find work in California. Then in February my father found out he had lung cancer. In June he had a stroke, while my brother and I were visiting him for Fathers day. Well, since I was between jobs at that time, I decided to move to Raleigh (North Carolina) to take care of him. Shortly after signing a lease on an apartment for him and I, he passed away. It was sooner than any of us thought would happen. Anyway, stuck in North Carolina with no job, no friends and no father, I decided to head back to the state were I grew up, Michigan. I still have lots of family and friends here, and I wanted to be closer to them.
