Greetings, it's been a while since I last posted here I notice, so I thought I may as well add an update seeing as several things have happened and I didn't bother to post.

In all honesty I'm a little bit fecked off with Gamedev.net at the moment in that my rating has gone down even lower to < 1000 status. That's really lame, because all I've done is try and offer advice to beginners and I dont seem to get rated up for it. I would try harder, but I fear I'm nowhere near that agreeable ;-) Oh well, to be honest I must be really narking some people off I guess, but I dont know why.

Noone will have noticed because I didn't post it, but I've left Stainless Games to go and work for Sumo Digital in their Advanced Technology Group. It's good fun and the people at Sumo are very nearly as great as the superb Stainless guys. I'm really going to miss working with them, but at the same time I'm really looking forward to working at Sumo Digital.

I've upgraded my home rig. It should be slightly more useful now, and it can play pretty much all modern games, which is always a good sign for a development rig. For those interested the specs are AMD Athlon X2 6000+ (3GHz), 2GB DDR2 667 RAM, 3x Seagate 1TB 7200RPM 16MB in RAID 3 array (XFX Revo64 Controller), GeForce 8800GT 512MB DDR3 VRAM, 22" Samsung LCD 3000:1 C/R 2MS R/T.

[edit] Thank you to the individuals who have read this and rated me up out of sympathy ;-) My rating is actually slightly higher than it was before I even posted about it \o/
