Gamelayers: First Day at PMOG

First day in the office yesterday with GameLayers. Quite Cool - My coworkers are all pretty down to earth. They seem to be more interested in getting things done right and exploring many different approaches towards the solution of a problem. I’m not used to this. I’m more used to people hastily making a business decision and working towards the goal. This freedom to be creative and do what you need to do to solve a problem is really rubbing off on me.

So far, I love my new job.

Chris Glein

My buddy Carlos is “looking” for his lost friend Chris Glein. Apparently they’ve been friends since they were kids and Chris is being a punk. Pretty funny approach.

The moral of this story? Don’t punk out on interweb geeks.

Share the wealth… give this story some link love on your blogs. Thanks!

Disenchanted with the Hardy Heron

Okay, I like Ubuntu… or at least I did… well, I still do… it’s complicated. I like all the new features of Hardy Heron, but it seems to come at the price of performance. I can almost go so far as to say my Dell C400 running OpenSUSE 11 outperforms my desktop running Hardy Heron.

My laptop is a Pentium M @ 1.2 ghz w/512mb RAM. My desktop is an AMD64 @ 2.2 w/1.5gb RAM.

WTF.

… and don’t get me started on when I had HH running on my laptop. It was totally useless for just about anything useful. Not even running XFCE could save the day.

That said, I’m downloading Linux Mint with high hopes — but not expecting miracles, as it’s based on Ubuntu.
