With a little extra time on my hands at the moment (more on that later) I finally ventured back into our vege garden this afternoon. From a handful of home grown cherry tomato seeds, what you see here is our second(!) harvest of the plants. It’s also what my Grandfather was famous for, lots of tomatoes and tomato sauce to go around (Not to mention the Christmas Pud!).

Also spent some time cleaning up the patch, the weeds and grass just keeps coming back stronger and stronger. Also can’t wait for the lonely Lemon to finally ripen. My beer needs it! Hopefully next harvest I’ll remember to take some photos of the patch itself.

I encourage everyone to give it a good. With some good soil, seeds and plenty of regular watering anyone can grow some fruit and veg. Next, I think I’ll give carrots a go.

Nick Lowe, VP of Interzone Australia, has published a Perth Games Industry survey. The aim is to collect information from those in the Perth Industry or those people interested into getting into the industry.

Survey can be found here: http://survey.letsmakegames.org/

The information gathered by this survey will be used to produce a Perth games industry profile document, which will summarise general characteristics and capabilities of the local industry. We want to facilitate organic and sustainable growth to help ensure a long-term future for game developers in Perth, and a clear objective assessment of the local industry is an important part of making this happen.

We want to hear from you if: you are in the industry, want to get into the industry, or even if you have left the industry. We will greatly appreciate if you could take the time to complete this survey.

Initial results will be presented at the IGDA Perth meeting tonight(!) and put a more detailed report available in a few weeks.
