Looks like it’s just me…
I’m still unable to see the comments. I’ve therefore activated the Blogger comment system to see if that’s a better alternative. I’ll leave the Haloscan comments up for the moment, but probably take them down at some point.
Problems with the comments?
Is anyone else having problems seeing the comments? Each time I click on one of the comments links at the bottom of each entry, here, nothing happens. If this persists, I may have to resort to the Blogger comments… Of course, if I see that people are posting comments, but can’t read them myself, I’ll …
Blue Cat Jam T-shirts
I ordered a couple of my Blue Cat Jam T-shirts and they arrived this morning. The T-shirts themselves are of excellent quality – quite a thick cotton – and the print quality was superb. Both of the T-shirts were dark blue and the colours were incredibly strong and vibrant. I’ll post some pictures later so …
A new cat
June and I have just been to see a new cat, a stray found by the Cats Protection people. He’s a tabby of about 2 years old and very friendly. With a bit of luck we’ll be taking ownership at the end of the week – we’ve got to wait for him to be neutered …
Nutso Progress
Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso is progressing very well, but because I’m working so hard on putting it together I’m frequently in danger of being too close to be properly objective. So I occasionally let a few trusted people take a look – people whose opinions I respect and who I know will tell me what …
Presentation
I’ve just arrived back from a visit to Hull University where I gave a presentation of a game design I’d created specifically for the students on the MSc course. Although I’m not a strong speaker in these situations, the presentation went very well and the students very responsive to what I had to offer. The …
Book Cover
Yesterday I saw the first roughs for the cover design of my book, Writing for Video Games. It’s a very strange feeling seeing this project drawing closer to becoming a reality. Suddenly it seems a lot more serious than it previously did and the pressure is mounting to deliver a book that’s a worthwhile read. …
Blue Cat Jam – T-Shirt Designs
Blue Cat Jam is an exciting new side venture that I hope will be of interest to you all. A number of my graphical designs are now available for you to have printed on T-shirts in a range of four colours. You can also have them printed onto mugs and mouse-mats, too. Also, if you …
Juniper Games – site re-design
Having had some niggling doubts about the relatively recent site re-design I did, I just spent the last day coming up with another design, which I believe is much stronger while retaining the warm and friendly colour scheme. You can take a look, here.
Love Song
Thanks to my friend Mattsius for sending me the link to this song.
Acrasia – a beautiful cat, fondly remembered
Our cat, Acrasia, passed away this morning after more than nineteen years of life. She’d been growing frail for some time and in the end faded away very peacefully in her sleep. Tears have been shed – June quite profusely – and we placed Acrasia in a quiet corner of the garden as her final …
Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso – New Screenshot
I’ve just posted a new “Nutso” screenshot on the Juniper Games website. You can go to the screenshots page, here or directly to the screenshot, here. The screen is still in progress, but I rather like the feel of it. 🙂
