I’m speaking at Casual Connect Europe in Hamburg Feb 10 – 12!

I’ve been invited to run a panel and speak at Casual Connect Europe in Hamburg, Germany Feb 10-12! The subject is managing external teams and outsourcing, and I’ve got some stellar panelists lined up to discuss it all with.

If you’re a game developer and you deal with art production and outsourcing, come on by and check us out! If you can’t make it, drop me a line and we can meet for beers somewhere after. :)

Germany, here I come!

Super-useful Firefox extension – App Tabs

Hello, world! I recent found a Firefox extension that’s helped me enormously in sorting out my tabs and keeping track of my most important ones. I would like to introduce you to App Tabs.

In a nutshell, this lets you turn a tab into a smaller, space-saving semi-permanent tab for tabs you always have open. See this:

For example, I always have Gmail, Google Voice and Google Calendar open. Ordinarily they take up a lot of real estate on my tab bar. I turned them into App Tabs with a simple right-click, and now they’re permanent fixtures on my tab bar without cluttering up the other tabs I have open.

It sounds like a pretty small feature, but it’s improved my Firefox experience dramatically. I’d suggest giving it a shot if you keep certain tabs open all the time and are sick of accidentally closing them. :)

Have fun!

FRAUDS! Defriend Grace Spander and Susan Alorin on Facebook.

They appear to be recruiters creating fake Facebook profiles posing as attractive, single women interested in men, and adding people from the game industry. The best guess so far is that they’re mining game developers’ profiles for information to take advantage of for the purposes of selling to game companies and for recruiting.

Myself and MANY other game developers (50+) have been approached by them. We’ve asked who they are and what they want and they don’t respond, and they’re adding absolutely ridiculous amounts of people all at once. They don’t show up on Google or MobyGames, no one I know has any idea who they are, and their only Facebook activity is adding game industry people I know to their friends list. VERY VERY suspicious.

Defriend them on Facebook and spread the word. This type of behavior shall not stand.
