3pointD’s Busman’s Holday: Slow Posting Ahead
3pointD is off for a bit of a Busman’s Holiday over the next two weeks, so expect posting to slow down a bit between now and 21 November. Where am I going? Only to Iceland for the annual fanfest of the coolest massively multiplayer online game out there, EVE Online. Picture it: 600 or so of the deepest MMO geeks in the world, gathered in one cold, dark place to chat to developers, journalists (that’s me) and each other about whether ECM needs to be nerfed, and just what CCP are thinking about with the baffling new gang system. Personally, I can’t wait. Then it’s off to the UK to do some interviews and try to relax. I’ll be posting here occasionally, but it won’t be as often as I normally do, certainly. Hopefully Glitchy and Chip will help fill the empty spaces in the metaverse while I’m gone.

Gimme a holler if you’re in EVE Online. Just IM Spin Martin in world. Still a n00b, but the Saijo fleet is nice. :-)
Have a great break.
Sounds fun, Walker! Knock ‘em dead!
I’m going to confess that up until now, I didn’t realize that “Glitchy Links” was a live human being.
I thought Glitchy was the name of a new high-tech kewl innovative social software that enabled people to go to some delicious type site and “GLITCHIT NOW!” and send links. In fact, a few times I clicked on them and thought to myself, “How can *I* get a Glitchlink widget on MY website”.
The Glitchylinks were so wierd and wonky that they invited obsessive clicking, and once you obsessively clinked once, you’d immediately salivate and clink the next time you saw your Glitchylink because it would usually be something that looked off-topic but wasn’t, if you know what I mean.
So to discuss that Glitchylink is actually not a bot is kind of a let-down : (
Sounds like you just invented a tekkie wiki 2.0 startup, Prok. Lemme know when it’s in open beta, mmmkaaayyy.
Mark,
It’s Janet from the BrainWash cafe in San Francisco–email me. You know how Google auto-suggests searches when you type something in? I was searching for something last night (not you) and your name came up. I thought, “Hey, I used to know a guy named Mark Wallace!” So I Googled you…but this is the closest thing I can find to your actual email.
Regards,
Janet
Janet! I was thinking of you not long ago. How great to bump into you this way. I’ll be in touch.
