This week was the start of fall classes at the gymnastics school where I coach. I'm also in the process of adjusting my schedule to wake up every weekday morning at 11am (instead of like, 1 or 2pm :P). Because of this, I've been rather off kilter since Tuesday and haven't done anything substantial …

*phew* Finally done reformatting my desktop and getting caught up on all my tasks and emails. I haven't reformatted since I first put this computer together last November, which isn't too bad. I usually reformat every 6 months or so, but I managed to keep things purring along nicely until about a m…

So I've been thinking about adding a new hard drive to my system. Mainly due to the fact that lately I've been recording a lot of TV shows using Sage TV's recording software. At Good encoding, we're talking roughly 1.7gb per hour - so on a 250gb drive that equates to roughly 135 hours of TV. Not to…

I was in New York City attending the sixth bi-annual Demo Night. For those that missed out, I'll have my coverage up next week (check the schedule) - if you wanna check out previous Demo Nights, I have the last one covered here. The coverage appearing next week will be in much the same format thank…

Sup peeps. Kelly got me the last of his reports on SIGGRAPH 2007 last nite and I just got done uploading them all. That's 8 pages (in Featured Article form) worth of reporting - good solo Kelly! If you have any questions about anything, comment the thread and I'll be sure that Kelly sees it. Have a…

Okay, so we canned Adobe Week, which I talked about in my Aug 7th entry. John goes into more detail in his blog. So since there's no longer a week straight of reviews, we updated the publishing schedule and almost have September completely booked, which is nice. I would love to be able to maintain …

So much for staying away for a week or two right? [wink]
Anyways I'll make this quick. First off, I was doing my weekly check for cool new Yahoo! widgets and guess who's got one of his widgets spotlighted? None other than TANSTAAFL himself!
Very cool. Second, be sure to stay on top of Kelly Murdock's…

Hey everyone. I haven't updated the blog much recently, because it gets kind of tedious after a while to post about little itty bitty stuff that really has no meaning when spoken about all on its own. Better to wait till I have lotsa stuff to say and then get it done all at once. At least that's ho…

I've been talking to a few people interested in the GI Live Events program, and I want to solicit more ideas on topics they could speak about. I'm not saying I'll be able to find a speaker for every topic, but I'm certainly going to try! You can either post your topic idea to this thread, email me,…
July 11, 2007
And I'm back with an update on the content scene. Today I took a stab at August's schedule, which you can view up above. Mind you, this is in a very volatile state right now and it could get totally rearranged before the end of the month, especially if our Special Event week doesn't get pulled off.…

Howdy folks. I've kinda been in hibernation the past week and a half or so. I had a week vacation from coaching and since that's the most time restricting occupation I have (GDnet and GI for the most part can be done whenever I like so long as it gets done ya know?) I decided to make it more like a…

Wow. Over 100,000 journal views. 100,476 at the time of this writing to be exact. I have a lot of trouble believing that these are real people. Don't you all have a life?? Why are you so interested in mine?!? Geeez
No no! Wait! Come back!

I invite everyone to check out our latest featured article, An Overview to Game Development by Nathan Madsen. Please do give it a read and post your comments! Everyone's views on the industry are subjective and although Nathan has many years of experience backing him up, he hasn't seen it all or do…

Check out the publishing the schedule, I did some shuffling around in order to fill out the month of July as well as keep June rolling along. Submissions have faltered over the last week or so, but I'm working on something right now that will hopefully help rectify the problem and bring in some mor…

Ok so there's a review posted today. Why is there a review posted today? Reviews are supposed to be posted once every-other week on Wednesdays. Well it's posted because I'm a retard and John has unquestioning faith in my abilities. Silly Hattan.
So last night I posted up the two articles. Now I post…

I got done being sick in time for the weekend, which saw me out of the house pretty much the entire time. So I spent all night tonight getting caught up on things, like article posting. I'm really disappointed with my OGDC coverage. I wanted to cover more sessions but I've had the most difficult ti…

I don't know what I'm fighting but it's leaving me drained with a constant pressure in my head. not really a headache, just... pressure. I dunno. Anyways staring at a computer screen does not help so I goes back to lie down. Yes there was supposed to be some event coverage posted today and no, it's…

*grumble* I knew the 500 or so hits this journal gets per day were web spiders. I knew it.
[wink] Anyways, I've been able to post up the remainder of the Linux Game Development articles. If you page ahead through October you'll see them all scheduled, descriptions included of course. Troy Hepfner, t…

Took a few minutes tonight to add some short descriptions, as well as author info, to all the articles currently listed in the publishing queue. John will be adding matching descriptions to the upcoming reviews as well. So now you can look ahead and get a better idea of what each article will be ab…

Yes, I'm such a genius I decided to schedule an article posting on a holiday. Right. Wasn't going to happen :P So I moved it to today. Luckily I managed to get it edited and online before it actually became Wednesday, hee hee. Anyways here's the direct link. Good job Emmanuel. I especially liked th…

Okay, as promised I've whipped up a schedule for the coming month. Obviously this is always subject to change as I determine whether I'll be able to keep up a decent lead time. If submissions start dropping I may stretch things out a bit more, but this is the deal for now. You can see the publishin…
May 22, 2007
Howdy folks. I'm back to bring you some more juicy content updates. Well it came to my attention over the weekend when Promit messaged me asking what the deal was with his article submission that no one was keeping tabs on writers@gamedev.net anymore. It used to feed into a backend interface, but w…

Blargh. Between the site being down for maintenance, the wireless connection here being cranky, and my stupid laptop liking to run at 100% CPU load sometimes for some reason until it shuts off - I hope I can finish this and post it before something happens to me.
Yeeesh.
Anyways I'm on a break betwee…

Well I'm halfway through today's afternoon sessions and things are going pretty well. The auto-balancing talk was rather so-so, but after lunch I attended Bill Fulton's talk on fighting cheating and griefing in online games and it was really good. I gave him my card and will be talking to him to ho…

Hey everyone. I'm sitting in the Parliment room at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel in downtown Seattle, having just finished listening to my friend Darius Kazemi from Orbus Gameworks talk about using data collection (metrics) from your online game for various purposes, such as tracking social connection…

Hey all. It's been a busy and slightly stressful week so I haven't taken much time to post anything. But if you haven't already noticed there's some new content up on the main page. Props and kudos once more to superpig for this automatic front page updater. Posting content now is so much easier! W…
April 21, 2007
The article is live. The main page updates every 4 hours checking for new content, so it should be up at some point. I'm going to bed but I'm waking up early (9:30am holy cow) so I'll be able to fix anything that comes up (unless I need to call... dum dum daaa DUMMMM!! Superpig!)
Enjoy if it shows u…

The article is online but not visible yet. I'm waiting for Joe to get back to me on a new title name I suggested. I really should have worked out the title name earlier in the week so I apologize. I'm heading out for the day now so I won't be able to actually "post" the article until late tonight. …

So I went to check on my GGE page and upon loading the home page I glanced at the Top Developers spot and noticed this
Weird, I dunno how the heck I ended up there but hey, I'll take it right? I'd like to know what gets you on that list, since it seems to change everyday I look at it. I s…
