Had similar issues to you and also did similar things. However I eventually got through it and my suggestion below is what ended up working for me. For a fortnight, do the following: - Go to bed at 10pm, no music, no…
With no backing data, my reasoning would be it's the ideal time to jump into the industry. Before the iPhone, I can only imagine how hard it'd be for developers to handle the business side of building a game, e.g.…
I've had similar thoughts. My current plan is to move towards contracting work. Therefore, if there is time between contracts, instead of dwelling on loss of income, it essentially gives you time to work on your…
I'm jealous about you living in NY. I had a holiday there for a fortnight recently and for the first time in my life, I felt truly inspired. One of my highlights was going through the MET. Specifically, seeing the…
Thanks for the links. Tried a few out and they were quite interesting. IMO, the two most exciting things that is happening right now is the Occulus Rift and independent developers. I've had a bunch of games in my head…
Excellent work. I like your perma-wield idea. I've only just started on the "aspiring indie" path the past 6 months [1] and it's a great feeling when I've got a spare weekend to toy around with an idea. One thing that I…
If I had my time again with headphones, I'd be buying DT770 (work) / DT990 (home)/ Bose QC15 (travel) The Beyer's are very comfortable which I think is the #1 feature for long periods of use. The Bose make my daily…
I'm using these at home too. Previously I went through Logitech's every 2-3 years, I've never even considered changing to something else since owning them.
I'm a regular user of Evernote and it certainly makes me reconsider that decision if that's the mentality of the CTO. Time to look into alternatives.
Cheers. I found it helpful. I too would like to have an answer but having the question is the most important thing. http://kiriakakis.net/comics/mused/a-day-at-the-park
I've been playing around with MonoGame and it's not too bad. Considering Microsoft has stopped developing for XNA, it might be time to look into it. I've been using a component based approach to building my game from…
From personal experience, Google Apps Script is not ready for Enterprise / Production. It's simply too unreliable. However I do enjoy the API. It's wonderful how easy it is to prototype an idea and get it off the ground…
I made a recent trip to NYC and visited several museums and Five Points. I was more impressed by the artwork by the graffiti artists than the majority of items at say MoMA PS1. Unfortunately, I think graffiti art will…
Similar to other comments, my father (68), rides to and from work which is 30km+, then for fun, will also include another 2-3 hour ride after work. My understanding is eventually you get into the zone, 100km is easy…
I don't agree that'd be a disaster, I personally like the idea or at least something similar. Essentially it's about basing promotions & pay based off meritocracy. There could be concerns about the Peter Principle [0]…
My gut feeling is that there are more suitable approaches, such as the recently submitted PG story. http://brandonb.cc/no-filter-the-meanest-thing-paul-graham-s...
Just playing devil's advocate here. My opinion is neither for / against Linus's approach yet. Why is the language unacceptable? He criticizes the work / logic that has been implemented, not the person, albeit in a…
I don't think he took inspiration from it. From speaking with friends we have all had the same dream for the first few years graduating University.
I don't think the Ireland example is the best. My understanding is they left because their home country was poor and the grass looked greener in America (land of opportunity and all). The grass does not look that green…
My initial impression is "Wow, so cool, I wonder if I could do it. Then quickly I am brought back to Earth by thinking that I will never see my family, friends or pets again. I wonder how many of these "thousands" of…
