Eventually a new company will be starting called "Blue Ruby Games." I'm working as an intinerate IT guy for it right now and helping network out new talent. I do it for the fun of it and because the nu... pean... er programmer behind it is a relation and long-time friend. He's working the actual programming issues and I just sit around and wait for myself to become useful.

There's somethings I've notice about working with programmers. In a lot of ways, they're just like other human beings. They like to feel respected and needed in their jobs. They like to be appreciated and have many ways that they are open to feeling that. If you say nice things to them, they work harder and faster. If you don't say nice things to them, they find ways to work softer and slower.

Unlike most human beings however, they speak a language all their own and learning to master it can take a while. In a process where you can't do the art, you can't do the programming, and you can't even do much in the way of design, you can easily find your niche by learning how to talk to the artists, programmers, and designers.

So far, that's where I fit in.
