As a personal blog, my posts tend to focus on personal things, hobbies etc… I could blog a whole lot more, but I do tend to wait till there’s something people might be interested in actually reading!
Reading this blog, you’d probably think all I do is XNA game development, occasional tutorials on the subject, and most notably journal my work-in-progress on the “Sharky’s Air Legends” game.
I do in fact have a day job. Something has to pay the bills after all. And as we all know day jobs tend to take the majority of our precious time.
So breaking with tradition, I’m now going to introduce you to something very VERY cool that I’ve been developing in my day job.
At Intergen, I’m proud to be team-leading the software development of a great new product called “ActionThis“.
It’s is a Web 2.0 application that simplifies working as a team. I’m sure you’re all familiar with this problem: “you go along to meetings, agree a bunch of action items, then nothing gets doneâ€?. We’re going to fix that, and then some more! Where Project Management is all about planing & tracking, we’re adding execution & recovery to the mix.
Exciting times, and we’re going to be launching world-wide later this year. I’m not allowed to talk much about this right now, but you can signup for the newsletter and get on the beta.
Now I started by saying that said that this isn’t strictly XNA game dev related. But hell, I can’t think of a single reason why this wouldn’t suit teams of indy game developers working on the next great XNA game.

You need to upgrade the webserver running ActionThis, it’s abysmally slow (today at least)

Agreed!
The site is an interim step, our goal is to launch with a lightening fast product, and we have to put the site through a few iterations to get there.
There is a lot happening behind the scenes, the homepage will be optimized soon, plus there is a massive amount of shiny new hardware on its way.
Exciting stuff.
