“We kind of played with the ‘intrigue of the mind’ idea and kind of go into the subjective where the player asks ‘is this really happening or are you imagining it?’ I think we really have both sides of that coin in the game.”

A few weeks after finishing it, I’m still not sure what was real and what wasn’t. I like to think it’s part of the game’s charm.

I’ve released a new version of my mpsimple Adium theme. 1.30 adds three new “no nickname” variants that omit nicknames from the chat window, showing only coloured “greater than” signs. Perfect if you like more screen real estate.

A nice WordPress plugin for Lessn. I’d also like to se a plugin leveraging the built-in short URL function the_shortlink() that will be introduced in WP3.

In response to Jobs referring to PCs as “trucks”, Ballmer replied “Well, there may be a reason why they call them ‘Mac’ trucks!”.

Fantastic.

I’m excited for the upcoming release of WordPress 3, and have been testing my Most Popular Tags plugin to ensure that it works properly with the new version. Things are going smoothly, and if any bugs appear during testing with the final 3.0 platform, I expect they will be quick fixes. When WP 3 is available to the masses, I’ll update the information on the plugin directory page / bang out a quick patch shortly thereafter.

It looks fresh compared to the old one.
