This is a write up on how I went about making a website for my iPhone application, MorningReport. Creating a web site is number one priority for any indie developer. It is where your customers will come, where your clients will refer others to, and where press will visit when everyone realises that your product [...]
This is a breakdown of a recent bullet we’ve dodged when launching the MorningReport iPhone application onto the store. MorningReport is an iPhone alarm clock application.. with a twist. It will wake you up with spoken info about the time, and the weather in your location. Ever over-snoozed because you were too bleary-eyed to see [...]
See that patch of green over there that everyone says is too hard to get to, or wasn’t that great, or knew a guy that lost his house because he ventured there? The grass there, no matter what happens, is far greener than the trodden, overpopulated patch you’re currently grazing in. And you know what? [...]
I recently had the pleasure of speaking in a panel discussion on National radio regarding the R18+ rating for video games. As a game developer, I have close to 20 years experience within the medium (3 of which is professional), and stay updated with the global tidings of the industry I work in. As with [...]
The 80/20 Rule, also known as the Pareto principle, states that 80% of effects are created by 20% of causes. It’s proven to be widely applicable, and is the reason why you should share your work and ideas with other people without fearing theft. I speak to a lot of students (particularly artists) who are [...]
“Oh, I’ll just shoot them an email” Ever thought, or said that? Chances are, you’re shooting yourself in the foot, particularly if you’re after information sharing, particularly if you need it now. Why? Because when you speak with someone, you want 100% of your personality to grab 100% of their attention. Right? Yes! Of course [...]
If you’ve experienced life in the city, you’ll have noticed that a large portion of street-sales are targeted at looking after everyone else. They call on our inner philanthropist to reach out to people you don’t know and may never meet – a noble deed, for sure. But now I ask you: How does your [...]
There are a million ideas just floating around, created by visionaries. These ideas are theirs, but nothing will ever come from them, ever. This is because it’s not enough to have ideas. Ideas are precious, but only if implemented. The visionary dreams up the future. The Visionary+ burns candles, networks furiously, documents, refines, motivates and [...]
To train is to read the books, or to take the course. To invest is to question the teaching, apply it to your personal history, and work to improve on it. To adopt a new system is to change software, hardware, and how people interact with them. To invest is to inspire staff to move [...]
Sometimes, what you need is someone to walk up and poke holes in your master plan. Not the vindictive, destructive holes. No! The logical holes which expose the pride-puttied faults that you have (albeit unintentionally) neglected in all of the excitement. What you’ll find is that once a few holes are brought to your attention, [...]
