Duke
Nukem 3D Music Project
Earlier this year, I obtained
permission from Lee Jackson and Bobby Prince to
compose new musical arrangements of the still-popular
and still-played Duke Nukem 3D PC game. With 3D
Realms making the programmatic source code Open
last year, we now have OpenGL support for greatly
improved graphics, and now support for MP3 and OGG
files in place of the original MIDI music. And now
I have completed new arrangements for all three
original Episodes, and for the Atomic Edition. Enjoy!

Development
I continue to advance my programming
skills by taking classes and pursuing certifications
when appropriate and when time allows. My current
focus of study is on Microsoft .NET, to include
working with VisualStudio.NET, C# and SOAP, and
I attended the VSLive! Conference in New York City
last June. It was an outstanding conference. I also
attended the Gartner Application Development Summit
last September in Orlando, Florida and am looking
to attend again this year in Los Angeles.
I completed the web site for
the Louisville
Rose Society this summer.
This is an excellent group of rose lovers, and their
site will continue to grow and provide a useful
repository of rose-care information for the greater
Louisville area.

Methodology:
I am a trained proponent of
the Iterative Development Methodology, and its use
within the Rational Unified Process. The iterative
approach and versioned releases are closely related;
in fact, versioned releases are one instance of the
iterative approach. The approach, however, includes
not only releases and release candidates, but all
milestones and deliverables within the project. In
this sense, you can think of the process milestones
as "spirals within spirals" of successive
refinement, as illustrated in the following diagram.
The iterative approach
Between each milestone, the
team members build on the draft documents, negotiate
the content, and prepare plans for their own teams.
The teams work in parallel in this iterative manner.
The concept of versioned
releases and "product mindset" are important
elements throughout the systems development life
cycle because they impact how expectations are set,
how decisions are made, and how the entire project
is planned and managed.
The IBM Rational Unified
Process®, or RUP®, is a configurable software
development process platform that delivers proven
best practices and a configurable architecture.
It has provided very successful returns in the implementations
I have led through the development life cycle. |
