Dirk was down for a while with some file system issues.
Checking everything still works.

Podcasts
This is going to make me sound out of touch, bud something I’ve discovered recently is podcasts. I’ve known about them before, but never really got into them as I never really had time to sit down and listen to them. However, now that I have an hour bus ride to work and back every day (soon to be 30 minutes, thank goodness) I’ve got lots of time to listen to stuff on the iPod.
Podcasts can be better than music sometimes as it’s a bit more.. intellectual fuel, per se, and less just mindless entertainment. It’s more of a keep your mind going thing than a shut your mind down thing. The podcasts I like? The stackoverflow podcast, which is just Joel Spolsky and Jeff Atwood taking questions and and answering them and discussing them. BBC Inside football weekly, which is exactly what it sounds like. And the tech tv this week in tech podcast is good. There are some others that are alright, but there have been a few that were disappointing. (The BS report, for example).
Anyone have any podcasts they really enjoy?

Diablo II
Is one of those games that I could play forever. Really good games don’t get old, they just get better with age. Nancy’s replaying chrono trigger, I assume that game falls in the same category.

New Post!
Well, I suppose it’s been a long time since I posted. Things have changed a lot.
I’ve left MDA, and accepted a job at Action Pants Inc, a game development place in downtown Vancouver. Yes, its back to the ol roots for me. Sometimes you just feel it’s time to get back to what you do.
Also, Nancy and I have bought a condo in East Van and will be moving into it towards the end of May. Which is good, because my current bus commute to work is 45-60 minutes. The move will trim this down nicely because I will be able to take the Skytrain.
I can’t say much about AP yet, because we don’t have any games out yet, so it’s very hush hush. I’ll post some links though once the info becomes available to the general public.

Levels of blogger?
According to Rob, there are four kinds of bloggers. I think I’m stuck somewhere between whimsical and casual. Most of my posts do start with “I know I haven’t blogged in a while”.
So it’s time for me to try and fix that. I’m thinking the opposite of Rob on this one though. I’m thinking to get my “creative juices” flowing, I need to do more short posts. We’ll see how that works.

You know you’ve been in Vancouver too long when…
-3 degrees Celsius seems absolutely unbearably freezing for January.

2 more days
Until I go 2 months without blogging. Better nix that fast. Was at a resteraunt the other night where two people were shot outside the resteraunt while we were inside eating. Pretty crazy stuff that Vancouver gang violence.
