Currently: A Dance with Dragons , George R. R. Martin I'd held off because I didn't want to spend $15 on it, but I caved last week after about 3 weeks of indecision. Sooo... yeah. Recently, aside from the Song of Ice and Fire series, I've enjoyed Ghosts of Belfast and Collusion by Stuart Neville. Do...

In my field, we call those Scrum Masters or Product Owners (two different people, just depends which one is driving at the moment).

73. Bite the head off your whistle when you can't even make it sound as good as a recorder.

So, I've been gone from the forums for a while, primarily because I haven't been using my computer much lately once I became unemployed. Well, that time has come to an end. November 2 I start a new job in a new city - Atlanta, GA. The ITM scene is a bit livelier there than it is here in Pensacola, s...

Golf= :sleep: If fairways had randomly activated landmines "sudden death" would have a whole new meaning, that could be exciting. Or maybe giant genetically modified antlions in the bunkers. http://www.antlionpit.com/images/antlionbookcover-160.jpg Someone been playing too much Half-Life ...

A/C is the only thing that keeps that place in business. It's a $5 / person A/C break.

Want some real summer heat? Try New Orleans. Holy crap it gets retched there. It's no wonder it was the murder capital of the US for so bloody long. I darn near wanted to kill someone each time I visited in the summer. Great town, though. Funny story re: New Orleans summer heat. A good friend of min...

For those following along at home, I've got a phone interview with Realtime Worlds soon. Huzzah!

By the way, I hope your 'bunch of misers' comment isn't a cheap shot at the stereotypical image of cheap Scots. I honestly didn't even know there was such a stereotype. I think the only "cheap Scot" that comes to mind is Scrooge McDuck, and I'm not sure he counts. I was mainly referring t...

Why do half of Denny's posts have me thinking of Rorschach?

(And don't offer me any cheese to go with my whine. It would only melt.) Mmmm... queso dip. I had a similar problem in LA a couple summers ago. I lived in the Marina, where it was supposed to stay nice and mild, and darn it all if it didn't get excruciatingly hot (for an apartment without A/C). I a...

Yes, I suspected as much.

Music would be a big draw. I'm learning GHB here, but I'm extraordinarily fortunate to have that. Where I live now is mostly devoid of musical instruction outside of classical instruction. Certainly no whistle teachers here. The only reason there's a GHB teacher is here because a local restaurant ha...

Right again. Firefly is listed as having an office in Aberdeen. I like their games a good bit, too. If I do end up at Realtime, I'll keep you in mind.

You hit it on the head. I'm in the games industry. Rockstar North, formerly DMA Design, is one of the companies I'm applying to. They are, of course, in Edinburgh these days. The primary company I'm looking at in Dundee is Realtime Worlds, though there are a fair number of other studios in the area,...
