Going to E3

I will, indeed, be going to E3 this year. I will be speaking with a number of companies regarding AI consulting. If you are going to be (or are based) in town and would like to meet to discuss business, feel free to contact me so we can set something up.

Pondering E3

I've already received my confirmation of free admission to the return of E3. I'm not sure if I'm going to be heading out there or not. Despite the travel being significantly cheaper than going to GDC, I would like to have a little business justification for my trip. I have a couple of potential clients to visit and definitely a few colleagues who will buy me dinner. I will be deciding in the next few days.

If you have a suggestion of how to make it worth my while (e.g. want to meet me for a potential consulting contract), contact me soon!

Forums Closed

Due to a MySQL database error, the Intrinsic Algorithm message boards generated an error. I briefly thought about killing a lot of time trying to fix it, but then I realized two thing:

* First, I haven't been using it much anyway. The same can be said for the people who registered. Mostly, it was people who were interested in seeing the video presentation on Airline Traffic Manager. Those can be found on our YouTube channel.

* Second, it looked like someone had written a bot to automatically register users on (and subsequently spam) ubbthreads message boards. I had started receiving plenty of bogus registrations -- some of which were posting... well... less than savory items. It was time to move on anyway.

From a company announcement standpoint, I have been using this news blog for some time. This includes any news on Airline Traffic Manager. For general information on game AI, I have been using IA on AI. When you add Post-Play'em, my observations on the AI of games I play, you can find most of what I have to say on those three blogs.

If you are interested in Intrinsic Algorithm and/or Airline Traffic Manager, please subscribe to this feed.

Sorry for any trouble. Thanks for your interest.
