Games, and the world in general

Well, I sit here playing Dragon's Quest IV for the Nintendo DS. I have to say I am having a blast. I found a blog here on blogspot that is great as it has nice pics / a wonderful world map.

Here is the link.

While looking at this blog, I realized: How do these people create the image captures? I realized, I had no idea - if I'd like to do something like this - as to how to do this. I did some research. By just googling, I found a link:

This was fascinating because I found they actually make a camera! Then of course there are the Emulators - which totally makes me think - NEAT! Am tempted to try out the Emulator. Not sure what I'd do with it, but *shrug* it's something interesting.

I am currently learning Java and having a wonderful time. I have to say I really needed this type of time to learn something new. I am absorbing as a result and I feel like I have time with which to do so. For those that don't know, I was laid off at the beginning of July. The latest QA jobs out there, are looking for people with experience in Java and in JUnit. My Plan?
1) Learn Java
2) Create a couple of apps that my husband has drawn up that would help him in his game tournaments
3) Learn JUnit in the process and build a test system for the apps.
4) Use the Selenium automation tool to automate from the front end
5) Display this all on our newly designed web site as apart of my job interviews.

I have to say, I am quite excited at this prospect. Isn't it amazing what happens when we get laid-off?
