Jeff Nadeau - Beyond Lektora & Microsoft

It has been around one year and half that I updated this blog so a new status update is way overdue!

I’m still living in Quebec City and still working for SSQ Groupe Financier. However, we finally bought a brand new house last February and we moved in early May. We really love our house because everything matches our taste, which is something really nice.

When I started that job I had absolutely no clue about Adobe Flex. Now, after almost two years working with that technology, I feel I became a very strong Flex developer. I really like working with Flex, it’s a very well though-out UI framework. We are really pushing the limit of it at work and I’m pretty proud of what we have accomplished.

Since moving back to Quebec city, I hadn’t have the chance to travel that much, which is something I’m missing a lot… However, this summer we had a nice 4 weeks vacation in Peru. That country is so amazing! I recommend everyone to go there. We saw obviously Machu Picchu but also Cuzco, Colca Canyon, Arequipa, the Nazca lines, Lima and even the jungle! I have to post some pictures on that blog.

Finally, I’ve been learning Spanish for the last year and half. It was very useful to have some knowledge of the language in Peru. I can now say basic sentences… To get to a better level, I should really start reading more online content in Spanish everyday. I should also start watching TV in Spanish… Well, I still have hope that one day I’ll be a true tri-lingual!

So, here it was, my annual status update! Hope everything is going great for you, my friends back in Redmond!
