Hello everybody!

Welcome to the new sebscorner. Yes. It’s been so very long.
Some of you nice people might have followed my long journey via this site.  Then some day, the slowly trickling updates stopped for good, some lousy admin didn’t pay the bills and the whole site disappeared.

I saved the database – but then it’s probably better to have a clean, fresh start (amazing how much spam you can pick up in a few months!)
For all of you who imagined me eaten by snakes, or fallen from some great height, I must disappoint you. The only swamp I’ve been sinking into lately is “everyday working life” I’m afraid. Very busy working life indeed. The time of the big backpack seems finally past me, but then it’s very good to know that some real freedom lies much closer than you’d think.. So before I get all nostalgic, let me tell you – pack your bundle and go onto a long journey yourself! The best thing you can do really. Quit work today I say!

Now then, there, there – back to reality! As already more than one year has passed, and too much has happened to tell – but here is the gist:

I live in Japan, Tokyo. Let me tell you about my house. It sits on a little hill with trees around it, and to be honest, it’s seen better days. The walls are of wood, rather thin wood – so It’s about as cold inside as outside. There is an old lady living four apartments to the left and if there is something nice on TV (which is about always) I usually know too. Not that I care though. This house has charm, tatami-rice mats, a shrine next door and in autumn green parrots come to nibble fruits off the big tree. And of course fiber-internet, this is Japan after all!

I work for one of the bigger Japanese games companies  and  I can cycle there in less than 15 minutes. Even less on the way back as it’s downhill!
At work I waste my team mostly with writing scripts, sometimes a plugin here a shader there. I don’t get to do any modeling anymore – which makes me pretty angry most of the time.
On weekends I usually ride my bike all through Tokyo. Exploring and searching for that one Starbucks I still haven’t been to yet.
.
Not really the gist I guess.. but this is getting way too long already and it’s late! This has to start easy and if I think I still have to get all of this into Japanese as well, oh dear my!

So please – if you like to hear more from sebs ups and downs in Japan feel free to check back once in a while.

Oh and I’ve been doing a tiny little bit of modeling, just to get not too rusty: Quickly before wrinkles and my beloved goblins & co get all out of fashion.
