Exactly.

We have 4 players in one room, and a remote DM in another room 100 miles away. The DM has 1 PC in his room, and we have two laptops, a microphone and a flat screen TV in our room. The DM communicates via video skype with one laptop placed on a table near the centre of the room. He can't see...

Also, parallel development can introduce configuration management overheads. For example, say you have multiple projects that utilise the same database. You have to control changes that you make to the database structure so that at some point you can apply all the changes to all the project...

I used to specialise in database performance tuning, and your experience doesn't surprise me. I've seen otherwise clever developers select the full contents of a table into an array, sort in memory and then discard the unwanted results. I explained to him about WHERE and SORT clauses in his...

My experience of working in the industry is that there is a huge span of skills and competence between developers, testers, managers, and all the other people that are involved in any IT project. I've seen projects succeed because the team was highly motivated, professional and focussed, and...

I subscribed for 1 month about 6 months back, but we haven't played 4e since then, so I unsubscribed. I've decided to freeze our rules base at that point, so won't be subscribing again. D&D 4e is just one of a number of games that we rotate through, so I don't think it's worth it for me to...

And yet it describes 50% of my group perfectly. Outside of a Monday night, they couldn't care less about D&D. Most groups I've played in have only had 1 or 2 "hardcore" gamers who buy magazines or browse gaming websites. They will very occassionally pop into a gaming store when they're in...

Yup. For the last 20 years. Coding, testing (including load testing), designing, architecting, config management, quality management, release management for a number of organisations of different types (internal depts, software houses, large-scale bespoke systems for customers).

What do you mean equivalent of car geeks? <Logs onto pistonheads.com to check the car forum> Honda Civic like a Toyota Camry indeed! Can you do this in a Camry? ;)

True. I make a point of not posting in them.

I play a mix of games and currently my players are only part way through H2. 4e straight from the original 3 books (plus some of the power books I bought) seems to work fine for us. I bought a 1 month DDI subscription about 6 months back and downloaded the original CB & content. We will use...

56 miles in 3 days carrying 80lb each, according to wikipedia.

I disagree. WotC offered software for an amount of money, and I paid them that money and downloaded the software. No abuse whatsoever.

There are some details of the US verions on the TG site: It’s official: one month to go until Top Gear US « Transmission – BBC Top Gear

Reliant Robin - that was one of my favourites, too. So silly, but I kept laughing at it. I love the Star In A Reasonably Priced Car. I don't know how they managed to get some of the A list stars to appear! Tom Cruise & Cameron Diaz was a classic! I enjoyed reading Hamster's autobiography -...

What ever happened to the RPG shop on King Street, Hammersmith (not GW on Dalling Rd)?

We now have a FAQ (taken from questions and answers that have come up on the forum) to accompany the playtest documents, because kiznit would prefer to spend some time with his family and real life, rather than constantly reformatting and updating the playtest documents :p

Stick with your current name, because what happens if you ever have two cars and you have to choose between them - how will the other car feel? ;)

<<I plug my laser rifle into my backpack and set it to 20SEU>> OK Kiz, tell me about SFH...

Thieves' World. We played the original with AD&D, then RQ3, then played the Green Ronin version. I like the gritty urban setting, and the strange NPCs we came across.
