Unity Technologies has hired Brett Seyler, who oversaw Torque engine development for InstantAction and GarageGames, to serve as its VP of strategy. After Brett Seyler announced that he was leaving TorquePowered (former GarageGames), nobody thought he was leaving for a direct competitor.

In the torrent of comments following his blog, Brett indicated indirectly that he already had a next challenge in mind, but he didn’t specify. It was assumed throughout the Torque community that he would follow in the footsteps of his former GarageGames colleagues now at Pushbutton Labs. That company was founded by the former GarageGames owners, after the sale to Interactive corp. In fact, it was at that time that Brett took over daily operations at GarageGames.

Virtual Meetings for free

Yugma LogoI’m sure most people are aware of the existance of WebEx, one of the first web-based solutions for large-scale virtual meetings. As business is becoming more and more global, travel is risking to become a large cost and time waster. I’ve worked in a company that was present in 6 countries over 2 continents, and meetings with representatives from the different countries were very expensive.

Du boulot VIP

Posted in Work on August 1st, 2007 by David – 2 Comments

Finalement, c’est officiel. Dès demain, je commençerai à travailler chez la Communautée Flamande à Bruxelles. Là, je ferai partie du projet VIP, un projet dans la multitude de projets que l’alliance EDS-Telindus a su gagner. Ne me demandes pas ce que cela signifie exactement, car j’ai du mal à suivre tous les abbréviations qu’on emplois ici. En Anglais, on parle de TLA, Three Letter Acronym, et les informaticiens parlent en TLA il semble.

Un des points forts est aussi que jusqu’à nouvel ordre, je travaillerai dans le batiment Beaudoin, ce batiment qui ressamble un grand cilindre en verre dont on a coupé la partie supérieure.

Jusqu’à présent, je n’ai pas eu l’occasion de faire une photo moi-même, mais j’ai trouvé une photo chez Carolien de Ulyssis.

Location parfaite : 5 minutes à pied de la gare de Bruxelles Nord, 5 minutes à pied de la Rue Neuve et le shopping City 2 qui contient une Fnac et à coté un Media Markt.

Tout ce qu’il me reste à faire maintenant c’est de régler mon abonnement de train. Pendant les vacances d’été, c’est pas facile de rentrer à la maison vers 18h. Je ne peux pas m’imaginer ce que ça va donner si je devrai y aller en voiture pendant le mois de septembre.
