Drum and Base is the Shit

Very few genres inspires me more than drum'n'bass. Its the utopia of electronic music in my opinion. There are quite a few web sites that actually stream live sweet drops of this stuff... one of my favorites right now is Base Drive go there and click the 128k link and enjoy.

For you that wants to rip all this stuff, just download streamripper and get loaded with these sweeeeet juices... freekin good.

Shout out to my friend Cookie in Hong Kong. He is really rocking hard. If you are lucky you might catch him spinning at one of the excellent venues there.

Another excellent chap to hang out with is Giles, my really good friend since long, from Bournemouth. If you are lucky enough to travel around Asia, another good friend that spins at a respectable venue in Shanghai is James White... respect!! (too bad we couldnt meet up for my birthday July 31st)

EA 5 months

Wopee... i have now been at EA for about 5 months and this is what I have to say.

• Bunch of really smart guys
• Factory mentality, develop games and move on next title
• Somewhat heavy-weight processes (trying to do Scrum)
• LETS do it attitude
• Politics
  
• For new management hires, make sure you network properly, find your niche soon
  
• Situational management is key
  
• Things move QUICKLY so make sure you are setup for it, get with the program!!
  
• You fail hard... and it happens!!!
• Really smart people here (did I mention that?) hey we are looking, we need more people in Singapore NOW!!

Wow its a big organization and stuff really move like the speed of sound.

Currently we are building a kick ass framework for MSG games and might be moving over to the MMO space, exciting, he he. There are some architectural challenges still to solve... time, time, time... where are you dear time machine?

Keyword: SKU plan :)

Go figure!!
