I had an email yesterday from a guy with some questions about working in game testing. He had some very... optimistic impressions about what working in the field could be like. After straightening out some of his misconceptions, I asked him where he'd picked up the idea that he'd be able to make a …

Where was I? Oh, yes. BTW Jack has posted his writeup as well so if my rambling stream-of-consciousness intartube blathering is not appealing to you he has a low-sodium alternative for you.
I totally forgot to tell you guys about the keynote speech!

OK, post icons - on threads - are safe for now.

4E6 is nearly done now. I have some prizes here that will hopefully make up for the extreme delay.
Work continues apace on the design document: 38 pages and counting. It's a bit long, really, but it includes my analysis of the user base, the V4-V5 migration plan, and the development schedule, as wel…

So, the main thing I'm working on at the moment is the design document for the next version of the site. It's not a small document - it outlines everything I plan to bring to the site, in terms of functionality, across the entire V5 line - and will probably guide development for at least a year. So…
