This is just me ranting about nothing at all on a Sunday night, so ignore it if you don’t have time. I’m currently doing some work with the Unity game engine (great engine, only a few annoyances) and I had to have two copies of Unity open at once. Unity, when you open the application,… Click here to continue reading the rest of “Too Damn Fast!.”

Just a quick note to say that this week I am in Las Vegas, city of sin, for of all things Microsoft. I will be at the DevConnections Developer Conference and the launch of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. Should be an interesting time with all of the fantastic new features that are being promoted. I’m… Continue reading the remainder of this article

I read today over on Engadget that InstantAction announced their new technology for streaming games to any web browser and I feel sickened. For me, this is the third time in my life that I have created a technology, showed it to companies and people,and had them be disinterested in it.

Andy Ostroy at the Huffington Post writes about how he hates Facebook. Well Andy, you’re late to the party on that one, and trust me, nobody gives a damn about your 40-yr old pre-pubescent photographs. No, seriously, believe it or not, not one single person, not even the guy who found them. *heavy sigh* Lazy… Yearning to get the rest of “Bloody Lazy Journos?” Use this link!

Sorry about the weirdness with the site if you were looking at it recently. Seems that the stats plug-in I installed on WordPress choked up and began spitting out a lot of HTML and PHP nonsense at the top of the page. The statistics plug-in is not fixed yet but I disabled it so that… Continue reading the rest of the post

If you’re going to set up a customer facing automated system, at least ensure it is reliable.
