RPM2011

Daily Post…well, not really…

Applying open source to gaming
I had an idea the other night that has stuck and won’t go away. It’s a concept for a role playing game called The Long Con. It’s based, in part, on the BBC TV series Hustle, which is about a team of grifters who practice “the long con.” Unlike short cons, your standard street cons,…

gwozdziec: pounding the last nail in
i’ve decided to call the gwozdziec album done. it’s been almost a year since i first started the project, and it hasn’t moved an inch for several months. my goal was to produce 10-12 tracks for the album, but rather than trying to drag out a project i sort of lost interest in, i’m quitting…

RPM 2010
i’ve signed up to do rpm 2010. probably i’m insane with how busy we’ve been lately and i don’t know when i’m going to have free time to crank out some tunes and i never even finished the gwozdziec project i started after rpm last year (although that was more to do with my own…
