I suspect that the industry panel on thurs will be a good change to meet folks as well as the shindig on Friday night..

Did people see the pics of the Irish team and the world Cyber Games event?
also the two blogs..one by Roisin Ingle of the Irish Times about training for the event are a hoot!

Some of you may be interested in this new issue of Fibreculture, an online journal, which currently focuses on networked gaming from a social, cultural and aesthetic perspective.

Great piece on people playing Dance Dance Revolution in arcades.
Aphra.
great to see Mal..and congrats to the whole team involved
I guess if this is well received there will be more projects like it
Must see what I can learn about nanotech from it!
Aphra.
some very thoughtful responses here.
I have invited lecturers and tutors on the various courses to respond and depending on the number we receive I hope to have a follow up feature from an academic perspective.
Also this topic will be discussed at an industry panel at CGames in a couple of weeks.

I was in the Long Stone about two weeks ago and it was appalling. Apparently they have changed ownership and while I am getting old we couldn’t near ourselves think, let alone speak. They had a DJ doing spot prizes!
Long Hall is still open but gets very jammed..post smoking ban the old body odours can be a bit over the top!
I still plug for Ryans – after work crowd will be leaving about 8pm and we can all slot in nicely. Kind of a done up old man’s pub…with a very local crowd. we could get some funny looks.
those who want can head to any number of venues after…including, what is that classy place in the old cinema??
Aphra.
people might like to note the following about CGames
1) Steve Collins is giving a key note on Wed the 23rd
2) there is an industry panel 17:45 – 18:45 on “What Academia Can Offer the Digital Games Industry”
3) my good self is speaking on Friday
shindig Friday night…
4) Ernest Adams workshops on Sat …
plus lots of papers..
for more see the programme. http://www.comp.dit.ie/cgames/program.html
Aphra.
well no major clammoring for Sat…so Friday it is I guess..
Since CGames is in DIT we might think of moving our shindig somewhere in that vicinity. Do people know Ryans on Camden Street – just up from the Village and Whelans heading towards the Bleeding Horse?
Aphra.
contact skooter500 aka Bryan via the boards or at Computer Science in DIT, Kevin Street, Dublin.
what is the tools gig in the Point?
Aphra.
Carlow IT course will have its first grads this year – there are about 11 in the class but that has ramped up in their second and first year. Third years are expected to go on work experience as far as I know.
Not sure about other courses..Carlow was one of the first degree courses to get going.

Yes, was just talking about the frequency of certain questions with folks yest…
FAQ not a bad idea at all..
