Open Source Friendly Game Companies, Anyone?
Hi everyone. I’m looking for a game company (or something similar) in Germany or USA that is “Open Source friendly”. By that I mean: Prefers to develop on a Linux operating system Makes use of one or more open source libraries Prefers to use tools that are open source based (not only for source code management and versioning, but also for content creation) Actively...
A State of Panic
Often enough, I bore myself. I try to say something thoughtful and at the same time entertaining, and it’s no good at all. I started writing down things that I thought to be funny or deep, but when trying them out they mostly seem to be kind of offensive. Oh yes, that offensive bit.

Good Bye, IRC!
So from today on, I’ll stop using IRC. No, really. For the past 10 years, I have been spending most of my time on IRC channels, getting to know other people, enjoying information fresh from the source, spreading my work. I tried to be abstinent for a while, but it never worked out. Maybe because abstinence for the sake of it is no more reasonable than being in a chat room all the time. But...
