ConDFW Room Party, Saturday, Feb. 13

2010-01-26T09:42:05Z

I'll be throwing a room party at ConDFW on Saturday the 13th. It's at the Crowne Plaza Suites Dallas Park Central, same as last year (but not the previous years).

Those of you who want hotel rooms in drunken stumbling range should reserve now. I mention this now because the hotel is getting a bit full. Also I realize some of you need to reschedule less important things, like job and family stuff, so hop to it.

I'll see you there.

Party at ConDFW tomorrow

2009-02-21T00:07:31Z

Party at ConDFW tomorrow, Saturday the 21st. Note there's a new hotel this year. Party is in room 422.

You know you want to.

Come play!

2009-02-20T16:39:25Z

*Anyone who has both me and the Cepheid list friended may see this twice. Sorry about that.*

I have nerdy friends. I know this for fact. I know a number of you, probably everyone reading this, falls into that category.

Nerds like ninjas. Nerds like games.

Be the Ultimate Ninja! Play Billy Vs. SNAKEMAN today!

That game, that one there - Right there ^ - is fun. Quite a bit. It takes very little time, is amusing and witty, and if you happen to watch Naruto (which I don't, but I'm sure some of you do/did), Death Note, or Bleach it has a number of extra jokes for you to get.

I want people to play because I like for my friends to do things with me. I am in the fucking frozen north and none of the rest of you are.

Play the damn game. When you get around to it, join my village in the game (Nightmare Village).

Do it.

Howdy all,

My girlfriend and I need a room to crash in after hentaifest at A-kon Saturday night. We have a ride to and from the convention, but she won't pick us up at 3am. We just need a place to sleep on the floor. We can even chip in on the bill for the day if you like.

2007-05-28T16:24:50Z

Hi all!

I sent art in to the Aggiecon Art Show, and have yet to receive any unsold art back, or a payment for any art that sold. I've heard from some other artists who are in the same boat. The Aggiecon website is currently down. Anyonw on this community have contact with this past year's Art Show Director, or anyone else who might be able to help us out?

Thanks so much!

Job Oppertunity

2006-09-14T04:56:29Z

Advanced Gaming Systems (AGS) is looking for some workers.

Hours are 10-20/week, flexible, at home, one weekly face to face meeting in town. Pay rate starts at $8/hr, DOQ.

I have several needs, one worker should be able to do 1+ of these tasks:

1. Help manage the Beta testers for both products - that is working with
them, our forums, and our bug tracking systems. Requires being chatty.

2. QA Coordinator - working primarily between the Beta Team and the
Development Team, managing bugs, closing them out. Requires a hard nosed
ability to break games.

3. Sysop - takes builds and posts them, helps admin Forums, Wake's, Mantis
applications, develops PhP apps as necessary, runs reports from mySQL to
support the company. Typical personality for this one.

4. VBA programmer - works on Access database editing application used to
edit our databases. Must know Access already - no learning curve for this

5. Assistant coder - helps my four Aggie coders with image and sound files,
builds, and other "around the edges" stuff. tests intermediate releases,
works on tooling/utilities.

They also get named credit in any release they work on (i.e. their name in
the game and the manual if they are still working with us when we ship or
leave under acceptance circumstances). They get to work with a real live
game company that does Serious Games and straight Entertainment games. They
get training in some Software Engineering processes.

To apply, send me a resume, and an attachment detailing:

* Games they play (with links to the websites)

* Online activities related to the games (Forums, Clans, etc)

* Anything they've done that maps to one or more of the above skills
that I should consider.

Please send applications to dgilman@advancedgaming.biz

Y'all might appreciate these. Star Trek inspirational posters, completely with a slash joke and lots of silliness.

Schlockfest video

2006-07-28T19:08:21Z

I managed to misplace my copy of a schlockfest video I did about 4 years back. I am going to be in CS on Saturday, and I was wondering if it was possible to bring a blank VHS and get a copy made or something along those lines. The title of the film is Merchant of Venice II: Back for Blood. I'd also like to make a copy of another film I was in, Blair Sock Monster Project. But I'd be happy with just Merchant of Venice II.

I am going to Rocky in Austin this weekend at the Drafthouse on Anderson Lane with a few people. Tickets are $5. Anybody else who wants to come out for the show and the obligatory pancakes-at-Kerby-Lane excursion immediately after should call me, yeah?

A-kon Room Party this Saturday

2006-06-08T21:13:49Z

...in case anyone hasn't detected the trend. It'll probably start around 11.
Show up at the con Saturday night, find someone who looks cool, follow 'em to my suite.

got a stupid-things-i've-done-that-shoulda-killed-me story? is it still legal to tell people about it?

ishouldhavedied

join up. I know some of you have stories to tell.

Mostly, these are the same type of stories people'd tell at parties, just... collected.

(and so this is Cepheid related, likely there'll be a Lai Lai's run on Saturday, if y'all are near Houston. yes, we went this past weekend. Yes, we're going again.)

Remember all. No Pants Day is this Friday!!! No pants or pant substitues, that includes shorts, skirts, and dresses.

request! (demand)

2006-05-02T04:09:16Z

I demand pictures of me in my ren dress from Aggiecon. I know they exist, but nobody has seen fit to share them with me, and that makes me a sad panda.

HOP TO IT, GROUNDLINGS.

I need a new place to live from August to December. My roommates are insufferable. If there are any female Cepheids in CS that need a roommate through December, or if you know people who are used to Cepheid-type people who need a roommate, let me know?
