Please share with your pals too!

When Wizz Air wrecked the immigration stats

You’d think it would be hard to miss half a million people, but the Office for National Statistics (ONS) managed it nevertheless. Realisation of this problem dawned just over a decade ago, when the results of the 2011 census were published.

dear Pipeworks Studios/Jagex: I will pay you up to 100$ to get unrestricted access to your E:\Build network share

With Apple’s new game porting kit announcement, I have to share a little secret game dev history from Apple days of yore.

Way back in the mid/late 90’s, when 3dfx was THE 3d graphics hardware, Apple secretly contracted with me to build a Glide (the 3dfx API) to QuickDraw 3D Rave conversion library. This would let games that only ran on 3dfx hardware also run on ATI 3d chips that were built in to the iMac… 1/2
