Pisal @ TAM2006

I forgot to update about how my entry at the SuperPitch competition at TAM2006 went in my blog, dear old me. Anyway, I just finished writing a short summary of my entry, and it can be viewed from the following website:

Unfortunately at this moment due to a miscommunication with the University Network administrator, he hasn't allowed the site to be viewed out of ABAC(the university where I teach) and I'm currently working with them to change the permission setting. Once it is done, I'll edit this post :P

That is the picture of my team, I'm at the left, Suphot (Game Developer), P' Mon (Character and Story Design From CU), Pop (Art Director), and P' Tuang (Leader and Game Designer from KMUTT)

ATM Gaffe?

I just noticed today after using my local ATM (Krungsri Bank) for a number of months that there was something amiss with it. When I punched in the keys and made a withdrawal, I just figured there was something wrong with the message which was spelt the following:

"Please Receive Your Money and Receive"

I've just noticed it should have been RECEIPT. Hmm...

Down to Earth

During the (Thailand Animation and Multimedia) TAM2006 festival, my team Tri-Casual has a finalist entry in the highlight SuperPitch Computer Game contest for 1 million baht of support fund. In this contest we had created one of the most memorable pitches, though we were unfortunate to miss out on the top project. Anyway after a dizzying amount of work and tasks done during the last few months, I have to admit somehow that it would be difficult for me to figure what is like when that is all over.

It didn't take me too long to figure. Just a few days afterwards, I got fever, coughing, bad stomache, and red dots that seem to appear everywhere around my body. Hmm... If you look at the symptoms, it is indeed a case for concern.

I promptly went to the doctor and had a number diagnostics on the disease. After numerous tests, the doctor figured out it was an acute case of Infectious Mononucleosis and practically I'm grounded for a while waiting to recupperate. At least on the saving grace is the virus is hardly fatal, though I do admit that staying attached to my bed for a long time is indeed the last thing I've planned at the moment :-/
