Work

A few days ago I handed my notice into RealTime Worlds.  I applied for an got a job with Tayside Police as a programmer on the force systems.  It should be an interesting change. I’m looking forward to developing some new skills…. and you never know since I won’t be doing games coding 9-5 it might make me get off my arse and do some in my spare time.

Crackdown on Crime

The website for Crackdown has now launched. Hopefully there will be more content there soon. Including a behind the scenes look at the crazy world of games development thanks to the folks at xbox.com

So the E3 build is done and dusted, some of the guys are heading out to the states. Hopefully it’ll go down well. The rest of the team really pulled together to get a top notch build.

In real life crime, I was working both nights of the weekend.

UPDATE - 18 Year old jailed for life for murder

Gigs

The other week I found out that Bic Runga was going to be playing Dundee at the Westport Bar.  So yesterday I ended up popping into Grouchos to get tickets for that.  In the end I got tickets for that, the Guillemots and Hayseed Dixie.

Should be getting plenty of music with me working the Radio 1 Big Weekend.  I’m really looking forward to it. I just hope the weather is good and that I’ll get a chance to catch some of the acts.

McKie

Interesting although slightly hard reading regarding the Shirley McKie case over at the BBC

Big weekend, what big weekend?

Who needs the Radio 1 Big Weekend and Muse, when Dundee’s very own Ross Nicoll does such a good job :)
