If you’ve been following me on twitter (or sharing with me on Diaspora), you’ll probably have seen the work-in-progress photos of this image. It took me about 8 hours to do this. I suspect I could have done it in less time if I could have done it in one sitting, but I don’t have [...]
An interesting and thought provoking discussion occurred when I shared this article on some social media sites: Berners-Lee: Web access is a ‘human right’ “Access to the Web is now a human right,” he said. “It’s possible to live without the Web. It’s not possible to live without water. But if you’ve got water, then [...]
I was planning on writing a post on why Twitter rocks (I may still write that post), but then Twitter do this dick move: moving to ban 3rd party clients that replicate the twitter stream. The news has been covered all over the place in the last few days but the real ramifications are not [...]
It’s called NoteSlate and it’s going cost $99 at launch (sometime in June they say). What it is, is a very simply e-ink pad and pen. No anti-aliasing so straight up black and white. And, well, that’s sort of it. Draw on it like a pen and paper. Save and forward pages. It does view [...]
Following on from my previous post (“for fun or for success”), I keep thinking about a blog post I read from Jeff Vogel called The Bottom Feeder: Three Reasons Creators Should Never Read Their Forums. If I have learned anything from writing Indie games for a living for fifteen years and there are plenty who [...]
I’ve been thinking about this in the back of mind for a few days, but I find myself looking at my projects in two ways. Pet Projects or Products. Related Posts:Forgive me Internet, for I have been lax. It has been over six months since I did any work on TDO Mini Forms…Going on holidays [...]
Yesterday I vote in the Irish elections. Today (and tomorrow I think) they’re counting the votes. I’ve been sort of avoiding the live courage, but it’s pretty inescapable. It’s on TV (which is on the shops), it’s filling my intertube feeds. Instead I focused on doing stuff with the kids, playing football with my 3yo [...]
I was moaning about the fact that there isn’t a demo Dragon Age (1) so I could check if it played well on my new laptop. I haven’t really done much PC gaming in years, but I was tempted to try out Dragon Age. Sadly I can’t try it without paying for it so nothing’s [...]
That’s disappointing. I’m not a big computer gamer but when I heard news of Felicia Day doing a new web series based on Dragon Age (I’m fan of theguild webseries), I thought I might check this Dragon Age RPG out on my new shiny Windows 7 laptop. It sounds like a game I might like. [...]
I share a lot of stuff on my twitter feed, but I’ve come back to this video a few times. I figure if all web-comments were read like this, all comments would rock. Anyway, it’s a video of a flash, which is an animation about a voice-track, which is a reading of a comment, which [...]
