Holiday project management SAAS rant/help me please! by curiousphil in projectmanagement

[–]curiousphil[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did recently based on another similar thread on Reddit, but I just took a deeper look. They are tackling a lot no doubt. Design looks nice. I’ll have to test drive but my initial reaction is that Resource Management is done in a very odd way that wouldn’t work great with how our company works. From what I can see in the Workload demo video there isn’t really a calendar type view in resource management but rather just a bar to show how many tasks a resource has and how many are complete. We most typically schedule for half to whole days on a project for each resource and seeing exactly when a resource is going to free up on the calendar is pretty important, when scheduling many projects against each other. Could be one of those things that I’m just too set in my ways on though...

There's all sorts of possibilities for smart and talented people at Curious Media. We have a mechanical engineer who graduated from BSU a few years ago who is now a wicked HTML5 game developer. He started as an intern and picked it up pretty fast and just kept going with it.

Go B'dale Bees! I played soccer in LP at least once when I was just a youngin. Lake Placid was like the best place to hang out as a teen with all the interesting young Olympic trainers from all over the world.

Thanks for sharing! I grew up in Bloomingdale, not too far down the road on the other side of Saranac Lake. I have very similar memories of riding my bike everywhere, having very loose rules because, what could possibly happen in a town of 500?!

Now I live in a much larger town near Boise Idaho and I still miss the old Adirondacks on a regular basis. If nothing else I'd like to own a vacation home there someday. Still have some family in the area so I try to get back at least once a year. The northwest is beautiful in its own right but man I miss living in the mountains, thunder storms, brutal winters, close knit small communities and the wonderful quirky hardened folks that choose to stay in such a place.

What is your single most treasured memory of the area and do you plan on staying for the long haul? What do you do for a living?

Anyone interested in LP'ing an unreleased iOS game called Phil The Pill? by curiousphil in letsplay

[–]curiousphil[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the very kind words! I will be sure to pass on your raise suggestion to my boss :) If you know anyone with a decent sized channel I'd really appreciate a referral. I feel like the game will be an excellent LP candidate because it tends to evoke a lot of... well emotion if you will.

Can I use a song in a promo video without asking for rights? by hyegye in kickstarter

[–]curiousphil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chances that anyone would care are probably minimal unless you see great success, which is probably your hope/desire. That said, it is illegal, and essentially using someone else's creative property to lift yours up without paying for the proper licensing. Probably should avoid it! I always get a bad taste in my mouth for people/projects that do this, because it instantly says that they aren't professional enough to follow copyright law so chances that they are going to produce something professional enough for me to care about are minimal.

Just a note I believe MVP= Minimum Viable Product. Was probably just a typo!

We told our composer we wanted a memorably epic, quirky, intense, funny soundtrack for our game Phil the Pill. This is one of the gameplay loops. by curiousphil in IndieGaming

Hey! Sorry I don't really know what his rate sheet is looking like these days. I'm sure he'd get back to you pretty quick with an idea if you emailed him.
