MiGS, Exams & Holidays

Had a great two days earlier this week at the Montreal International Games Summit. Although it was slated as an ‘industry’ event, I really found the talks interesting, and made me think about a few things in regards to the way I am approaching my doctoral work. As any good conference, it was also greatContinue reading “MiGS, Exams & Holidays”

Everything Takes Time…

The Montreal Mirror has always had great horoscopes. I have cut out a few over the years – stuck them up on my bulletin board for future readings. While I am (no longer) a big astrological gal, this one is a great reminder of how long things really take to succeed: To create a pearl, anContinue reading “Everything Takes Time…”

I know that you can store saved games on an external, but want to know if they can beContinue reading “Two Tech Questions”

That Time of Year Again

Never fail, come spring or fall, I get the urge to change the look of my blog… usually lighter in spring and darker for fall, but for some reason, I am in a light mood, and so, chose something out of the limited templates that reflected the calm smoothness I have been feeling these days.Continue reading “That Time of Year Again”

Back in Montreal

After a great week in London, a delayed flight home, and an evening of struggling to stay awake so as to get back on mtl time, I am home and enjoying my late morning coffee. With a full EA workload this month, the never-ending editing of my secondary comprehensive exam (formally known as my indexicalityContinue reading “Back in Montreal”

DiGRA: Morning, Day 4

After a nice afternoon in London checking out all the great shops (like Octopus and Fortnum & Mason – should have brought a larger suitcase!) and a nice dinner at the Crusting Pipe, I am headed back into the conference rooms for one last session. Unfortunately for me, and due to some poor planning onContinue reading “DiGRA: Morning, Day 4”
