The Digital Hub is the body responsible for the regeneration of the Liberties area of Dublin where MLE is and a lot of space is being made available to digital media companies.

See http://www.thedigitalhub.com/

Their latest exhibition is called PLAY…which opened this week and it will run until January

mm, funny how things get around. I sent a copy of my female gamers case study to someone I met at a conference in Manchester and look what happens..

can’t complain I guess..

Apparently only a couple of people went on that trade mission to Japan, including the head of the Digital Hub..hope they mean to follow it up with some action..

Nice to see the five winning concepts from the N-gage challenge on show as prototypes at the launch of the Play exhibition in the Digital Hub last night…was a bit busy so didn’t get to explore them closely..did anyone else?

Apparently from the end of the week they should be up on the UpStart website and people can vote for their favourite…hope Jab makes it through the week!!

has anyone saved your soul yet?

I might know some people here in DCU who can help if not..

ok sounds good…Dave can you find out if the 30 or 31st Oct. is not booked for a birthday party of something?

..we should probably hang a gamedevelopers poster or two up this time so people know where we are in the pub..

where is Mahaffeys? might be a good option..

Someone mentioned to me that the Computer Science diploma/degree? in DIT has added a games programming module…anyone know anything about this?

here with my fuzzy head after the PlayStation party last night…just caught this. Clare did you get the tickets ok for last night? You mean to say we were all too normal looking for gamedevelopers? We will have to try harder…

On that note I met a couple of gamedevelopers people at the Sony party and the suggestion is that we dress up for the next shindig given that it is Halloween! ..

but seriously I think we should try and meet again at the end of the month and I see that the last Fri of Oct. is the 31st so that might be good. Maguires seemed a nice place too..but we can go back to Toners as long as I ring them early about it this time..and get in before the birthday parties

looks interesting..with my research hat on I might have to go out to locate this jolt coke..

[Aphra K]

thanks, should have remembered the digital hub piece and alan you guys are in Galway aren’t you? I hope to meet up with the companies face to face if possible.

Aphra.

[Aphra K]

actually I have one ticket left..someone had to pull out…so if you are quick and mail me using this website – see Contact button on the navigation bar – in the next hour I can arrange to meet you outside the venue tonight..

Aphra.

[Aphra K]

Halloween is a great time for us all to come out to play..

Only Qs are:

Thurs or Friday night
Maguires or Toners

and if we are likely to clash with some other big event..

see some of you at the PlayStation party tonight..

Aphra.

[Aphra K]

looks like there will be some interesting stuff in the forthcoming Digital Hub exhibition opening next Tues week..I don’t know what your deadline is but will be worth attending this..
