I’m still recovering from this year’s Develop conference in Brighton. As a head Conference Associate I seemed to spend most of my time rushing around like a blue-arsed fly and didn’t have nearly enough time to attend conference sessions. My own fault, I guess. I did manage to sit in on some Games:Edu sessions, and I made a point of going to David Braben’s session since I’m a longtime fan of Elite, Virus, etc. (many thanks to Janey for covering for me!). The other CA’s were a nice bunch, as usual. I also had a total fan boy moment in front of Peter Molyneux.

I’m finding that writng and maintaining the code for one’s own website can be a monumental drag sometimes. I’d rather be coding games but really, really need to finetune Gossamer. To complicate matters further, I sold my laptop to my mother a few months ago and still haven’t gotten around to replacing it. The morning and evening train rides have never seemed longer and that 4 hours a day is lost forever… oh, the pain.

I have two more projects to upload, a simple fireworks display (done as a challenge in two weeks) and a model viewer (which is a work in progress).
