My campaign to produce Shakespeare's Sonnets: A Graphic Novel Adaptation needs your help! Please sign up at https://www.patreon.com/fisherking for access to exclusive content and the opportunity to be a part of the magic!

I'm also producing a podcast discussing the sonnets, available on

For those who prefer reading to listening, the first 25 sonnets have been compiled into a book that is available now on Amazon and the Google Play store.

moonlighter down

another (relatively) quick post:

1. moonlighter
yeah, i'm not sure we're friends any more. for the second time - the first being on thursday - he delayed a build all by himself and kept five of us in the office late waiting on him. all this while the executives were stressed and pressured to deliver a presentation with it, and they had to wait until we were finished.

his response, when i fired him an email apologizing for my tense tone and explaining the reason, was
just don’t take my indifference as mocking. i can’t just be that intense.
i was thinking that we desperately need more good developers, but now i'm thinking that this man just might be a liability.

2. training
i'm managing less and coaching more. i really feel like i'm teaching these guys from scratch, and what i'm teaching them is very simple: plan before diving in, be methodical (in development and testing), and don't leave anything to chance or possible human failing. with these three things you can be a decent developer with no experience or formal training.

3. shopping
now that i have some money in the bank, i've wasted no time spending it on what i've been dreaming about! i sorted out the wrap1200 this morning, which was shipped in the afternoon, and i've just come off the best buy website. after much reviewing and comparing, i've settled on a projector that sounds like a good deal (benq wxga 3d dlp), a playstation 3 (the ps4 comes across as pretentious and unnecessary, and not worth the wait) and a fairly cheap but highly praised soundbar (philips).

i think i'm all shopped out. how bizarre that the projector, the piece that puts it all together, will only be delivered a week later than everything else :S

we have a reservation for this weekend ^_^
