Yup, that's my life.

There's no rich bed of subtext here other than what we each bring into it. From my perspective it just kind of summarizes life right now. I need more but I'll take what I can get if it means being close to something important to me. Getting a foot in the door is important right?
Well since I don't really have much to say about the comic, I'd like to talk a moment about Raptor Guts. I hinted for a long time at the game they were supposedly working on. You might remember that I spent a week after ConnectiCon with my pal Richard, his wife, and their new baby. While I was there we fleshed out what I had in mind. Of course it was never going to be a real game, but it was fun to lay out the course. I had every intention of illustrating the development of the game. It was called "Mr. Binkybear's Happy Happy Fun Time". The idea was that you would be in control of teddy bear mayhem as Mr. Binkybear navigated his toy world, fighting and removing other toys' stuffing in the most disturbing ways possible. I even had the idea that the collectors edition would ship inside a stuffed animal that gamers would have to rip open so get their game. Before they even started playing they would have a visceral experience. Then before I ever got going on that story arc, 505 Games announced Naughty Bear. My heart was broken. And I let Raptor Guts fall by the wayside. **shrugs and grins** That's the way of things huh? Naughty Bear will release for the 360 and PS3 sometimes this year.

NON-GU Job Opportunity
( February 18th, 2010 )
I mentioned recently that I was applying for a job as a PHP/MySQL developer. I didn't have the needed skillset. I've been doing PHP/MySQL dev on GU for years now. But what they needed was more complex than what I've been doing. Put simply, they needed someone that could jump straight in; and, unfortunately, I couldn't. But because word of the job came to me by way of a mutual acquaintance, I offered to mention the job here in the hopes that one of you might be able to help.
Here's the little blurb they sent along. Exciting Internet startup building applications for high school coaches, athletes and fans is looking for a PHP/MYSQL/ web developer to augment their team. 20-40 hours per week (telecommuting ok), 2-3 years experience developing PHP APPLICATIONS with javascript libraries, model view controllers, and a passing relationship with versioning software
See Varvee.com for more company information and links to their media partner’s sports content. If you are interested send your resume to jobs@varvee.com with a brief email describing your interest. No third parties please. I'd like to add a few things and clarify a few others here. They need someone with a strong understanding of complex database insertion, manipulation, and searching routines. They also need someone with experience in using javascript libraries. MVCs and versioning software isn't as critical. But they're a company looking to expand. So, MVCs and versioning software will be crucial moving forward. In the long term they're looking for someone that lives relatively close (Denver Metro Area). But, for now they're willing to work with a telecommuter with the coding chops to move them forward. [ discuss ]
