Shiny is good

SOunds cool....I just can't see where you do this :-S

Oh!!! *shocked* Apparently my websites are unsuitable!!!

*looks at the house rules*

I presume that was because they're commercial selling sites... I'll see if the moderators remove this - www.ianferguson.me.uk - cos that's my personal site, no selling or anything. It has links to the sites I've built commercially under the Portfolio section.

If they remove that too then I'll be highly offended... I've got my sites passed by the Internet Content Ratings Advisor and all! Even the BBC doesn't do that!!

to go have a look

Ooh ooh! They left my link in!! *wonders if he repeatedly quoted it everywhere they'd see it as an advert*

[Broken link removed by Moderator]<- is that an unsuitable link?

evidently not

I looked at your io site, and it looks very interesting, even if I have no understanding of it whatsoever!

Yeah it's fun but we haven't done much with it at the moment I need to take a gap year from my job to work on it, I think

It looks good, but what is it? I'm not really savvy with online gaming...I take it Tim is BB?

No, Tim is Roasted Amoeba, and BB is Matt At one point we had Bluebottle, Roasted Amoeba, Tinkerbell and me living in the same house... tends to confuse h2g2 people

The development of io is more about the technology than the end result; I'm planning a kind of 3D space game where you can interact with other human players... it may well develop into something completely different though. We're basically seeing what we can program using DirectX (Microsoft's graphics/gaming engine) and .NET (Microsoft's latest web communication thingammyjig). Don't know if it'll come to anything yet but it's fun learning

sounds like good fun
