Work is not allowing me to work!

30 Nov

I’ve been quite busy lately with work, which means that I haven’t had time for any new developments (neither in my editor, nor with the announcement thingy)…

Since I know you guys want some stuff to look at, here’s a couple of things…

First up, an indy game called Gunpoint that seems quite cool… the style of the presentation is also very cool, and the animations look sweet:

 

The other one is a blog post about some conjecture and rumor, but that seems pretty accurate and for DX-heads like me, pretty scary. Click here to read!

Hopefully I’ll have time on Friday to get things up and running as usual again!

 
 

Work, work, work…

Well, as some of you might know, I have a real job in telecom-related software development…

I’ve changed jobs in September or so, and moved to a new office in Lisboa. Since we already had projects that had to be finished, we didn’t have much time to take care of the office… that’s why, 3 months later, the office just had his floor done, and this is the current look:

Anyway, we’ve just delivered a big project, a provisioning system, which was very hard to do because we had to master completely new technologies for us: PHP, Java, Google Web Toolkit, MySQL… All these technologies are used to do the frontend for the system, with a C++ backend (all done in Linux, which is also new for me; mastering makefiles sucks)…

So it was a challenging project, but ultimately it was rewarding, since everything worked with just minor tweaks… Now we have some stuff to add on it, but it shouldn’t be a big problem, since the core system is done…
