Journal Journal: WHY A CTO SHOULD _NOT_ JUST BE A GLORIFIED CODER/ENGINEER

Journal by kmleon

Increasingly, the title “CTO” is being used to induce engineers to provide underpaid—or even free—technical services. Don't fall for it! Otherwise your organization will very likely be ruined. Generally if they can't actually pay for a CTO, the organization should NOT even be looking to fill a CTO role yet. Instead they should be looking at roles more appropriate to their specific needs and resources.

Submission + - Dungeons & Dragons is more than a game, leisure expert says (phys.org)

Submitted by alternative_right
alternative_right writes: The game provides players with "the sense of a safe space and a place to create their own identity," Messina said.

In the 1980s, D&D was often dismissed—sometimes demonized—as an inappropriate game due to perceived but unfounded links to the occult. Today, it's widely recognized as a place for players to explore, connect and express themselves.

"Players were comfortable being themselves by engaging in the game pursuit," Messina said, "but at the same time were building personas in line with, or in contrast to, their normal personality. They described it as a way to take charge, or lead an effort in ways that their normal personality would allow for, but they wouldn't be inclined to do."

Submission + - Non-profit RPG Research Asks for Help From Overwhelming Demand (thegamer.com)

Submitted by kmleon
kmleon writes: The 501(c)3 non-profit, volunteer-run, charitable organization RPG Research, recently posted an urgent request for help. Demand for their role-playing game programs (tabletop, computer-based, and others) have grown over 1000% this year!

RPG Research recently sent out an urgent call requesting more volunteers, more warehouse space, and more donations to help meet the overwhelming demand it is currently facing. In a truly good news/bad news situation, the organization has seen donations increase by 600% from previous years, while 2020 has increased demand for the organization’s programs by more than 1,000%. The increased demand is simply more than RPG Research is currently staffed and equipped to handle, resulting in the call for aid. Along with the need for more volunteers, RPGR is also seeking a sizeable warehouse to house office space, events, the RPG Museum, as well as to hold the RPG bus and trailers. The ideal warehouse being sought is “a 2,000 (minimum) to 4,000+ square foot warehouse” somewhere “in the greater Spokane Washington or Post Falls Idaho region”.

I still use my Amiga 2000, circa 1989 semi-regularly.
It's been upgraded a bit at a time over the years to a 68030/33mhz with 8mb ram, has added scsi and ide controllers, multiple hard drives, 3 floppy drives (two amiga low density and one high density that can read HD no problem too), has a genlock, that with various software is the easiest way to do titling and other things for overlays on video with no loss, cd burner, midi, audio capture, network card, upgraded ROM for OS 3.1 and Fat agnus 1 MB. The only I still need tog et around to getting it is an upgraded video card, new keyboard and higher resolution mouse, it's still using the originals and they're pretty beat up after following me around in over 30 moves, and now three children all under ten each being given the Amiga when they hit 2 years old to play games and such.
it wasn't until around 1999/2000 that PCs caught up with in 3d rendering under lightwave and terrain rendering and such.
Now I have PCs with dual cpus and gb's of ram running linux and obsd and such, but that amiga is an incredible workhorse and great gaming system. It set the computer industry behind ten years when Commodore died.
There's still plenty of hardware and software out there to buy too. It's incredible.
