At around 5 am tomorrow morning I’m heading out for the airport. Hopefully by then I should have everything packed and ready, including this computer .. or at least the guts of it.

I have mixed feelings about it, of course. Cédric recommended me going through some sort of Singapore detoxification procedure. Mostly it’s the usual travelling anxiety. The fear of forgetting or losing something.. fear or missing the flight or that something will go wrong.. fear of ending up in the wrong place.. or worse, in the wrong TIME! Y’know, the usual stuff.

I’ve charged my PSP and DS and I’m bringing a ton of games, including Jeanne D’arc and Final Fantasy 9 which … Continue Reading

Today was my last day in the office . I took the next week off because, as a master of procrastination, I need a few days to get everything packed and ready.

By running custom firmware and a homebrew called RemoteJoySDL I’m able to play Disgaea Portable on my PC. While it might not be incredibly useful, you have to admit it’s pretty damn cool. XD

I also need to remember to compile a list of things Meide and David can do next week. But I’m sure they’ll be fine. They’re like.. smart n’ stuff.
We’re getting ready for GC Asia that’s just around the corner. In the … Continue Reading

Cédric, our lead programmer, flew to france last week for his vacation. Someone had to fill his role as lead programmer while he is gone and that someone turned out to be me.

It’s quite daunting but sort of fun at the same time. Besides figuring out what I’m supposed to be working on I have to keep track of the other programmers too (not counting the french) and plan out their next tasks. We have a deadline coming up and that means no slacking!

I also have to manage the inhouse releases of the level editor and work more closely with Raymond, our game designer. He’s the first guy to find any bugs and in a sense my job is to shut … Continue Reading
