All Posts in "Desk Diary"

In the last installment of the Desk Diary series, I mentioned that we moved out of the office that we had been using since 2008 - we actually just moved up to the 2nd floor ^^; I used to call the first floor office "The Dungeon" as it was so dark do...

Recently noticed a direct relation between how often I can write stuff for the site and how many milestones that my company achieves - unfortunately meaning that the more I achieve, the less I can write as my time is taken away to complete my goals....

Continuing from the Organizing Your Workspace post, today I try to reduce and clean up those horrid cables under the table. Its always been like this down there and I only just recently managed to clean it up a bit during the end-of-year big clean ou...

One of the things I constantly think about is how to become more efficient at managing my time. I've got a note to write about Time Management in a separate post but today I'm going to talk about a few things we can do to save time by making sure tha...

Uploaded the September installment of Desk Diary a while ago but missed posting photos of what the office looked like before then - only managed to find a wee bit of time today to clear out the backlog - but as I really only have a wee bit of time, m...

Photo of the office taken this morning. Sorry for the lack of updates - 201% of my life is currently being eaten up by the production of Culture Japan Season 2 which started its broadcast yesterday in Japan. In the meantime, you can catch more regula...

Previously posted some positions for full time members of staff (like the Ruby Developer) and after sifting through many applicants, I finally hired somebody - and this is what she looks like...

Most of my time of late has been taken up by research on plastic manufacturing and also looking into how 3D is replacing traditional sculpting by hand. Learning loads and meeting many folks in the industry at the same time. Next week we start filmin...

Tis been 2 months since the last Desk Diary update ^^; A load has happened since then including:- Production and airing of the English version of Culture:Japan on Animax Asia. Trip to LA for Anime Expo. More planning and production for Mirai Figma,...

Quite a bit has happened in the past 3 weeks since Desk Diary 2010/05/27 ^^; Filming, production and the airing of my first TV show Culture:Japan. This pretty much has taken up most of my time and we are now working on the worldwide 1 hour version....

This series was supposed to be more than every few months ^^; Since we last spoke, there has been so many changes that its hard to believe that its just been over 2 months. A few notable things that have happened over the last few months would be:-

Quick catch up with whats been going on of late. First up is site tuning. Been tweaking with Nginx, PHP and MYSQL server settings over the week and have noticed quite a boost in performance. The main things we have done is increase the amount of Ngin...
