CCP Hilmar's talk #ghconf about EVE's players behaviour comforted me in my Human Dynamics approach of projects. #
@websterian Thank you for your appreciation. actually no I have not read that one. I'll see if I can find it. #
End of #ghconf Was very friendly with interesting talks. Enjoyable! #
I did not mean that you only celebrate failures in England. I meant that Scott's failure did not stop him from being a hero in England. #
Just revisited my slides for tomorrow at #ghconf Am never satisfied!… Could rework them forever. Gonna stop and sleep early instead! #
@herbkim I loved hilmar's questions about the purpose of some of our actions in life. The "silly golf clothes" example was great. #
Actually, even the choice of drinks in here #ghconf is out of the ordinary. The organisers of this conf have been the extra mile all the way #
Beer & Wine time here at #ghconf Very friendly atmosphere. Our chocolate bars #Liemur stand are very successful. #
Hilmar from CCP made a real great talk at #ghconf He was as interesting as funny. Parts of EVE history is scary though. #
I did loose my challenge and bought myself a book: "Designing for the iPad". Looks good. I hope it is! #
Getting ready for my magic trick during my talk at #ghconf tomorrow. It always takes the audience by surprise! #
I was challenged by friend to visit bookstore at #ghconf and NOT buy a book. I am afraid I lost! Can't resist books!! #
The organisation of the #ghconf so far is flawless from a Speaker point of view! Impressive! #
Am at #ghconf Newcastle UK. Will talk tomorrow at 12:00. Looking forward to it. About project optimisation. #

@joannabinford a dog with taste, indeed! #
Had a great intellectually challenging conversation yesterday at Kingston University evening. It was most refreshing! #
#Team paradox: a group of people willing to do good does not necessary achieves a good result. Intention is not enough! #
It is under stress that the well integrated foreigner behaves "strange" again. Difficult to ignore your original #culture under stress. #
I have played #game #Bulletstorm. Violence can be funny if pushed to caricature with great characters. Can't take it seriously! #
Have just tried #game #Portal2 Only tried for 15mn. Loved the intro. But why are you left with no instruction? Why am I supposed to know? #
Travelling in such heat is not very pleasant. Great weather for the beach. Not so great in a suit. Should I combine?… #
On my way to Games industry diner organised by Kingston University. Have been nicely invited. Looking forward to it. #

France is shocked by how #DSK is treated in USA? This is typical of #cultural shock. USA: flat hierarchy. Fr: high hierarchy index. #

Have decided to take a break with usual books this month. I have re-started Voltaire and started don Quichotte. Cool month in sight. #books #
@joannabinford re:"shoeholic". Hi, my name is Sylvain and I am a bookholic. in reply to joannabinford #
@joannabinford isn't "shoeholic" (as you say) equivalent to "woman who cares?". ??What's the equivalent for men? Is there one? in reply to joannabinford #
I am about to start working on another new tool for improving requirements for video games. I am quite excited about it! #games #

90% of the tweets I receive have a link to a web site someone "discovered". Am I really supposed to open them all?#metatweet #

Back from Develop2010. Did my talk today. Very well received by people attending. I was very pleased. Magic went very well. #develop2010 #
@maryforrest Even this statement of not hurting others to do good is "arbitrary". Right and wrong is culture dependent. #crossculture #
Too many people now know I am doing magic to illustrate my topic tomorrow at my talk at 14.45 room 7. Can't give-up now… #develop2010 #
Had a great day today at the conference. Met and talked with plenty of people. Many said they'll come to my talk tomorrow. #develop2010 #
Had nice chats with people at the VIP drink of Develop conference in Brighton tonight. Good start! #games #
A great move to improve team work is to study yourself and your weaknesses, then build on the others' strength. #thinking #
Out of AIGames conf. in Paris, one presenter advised Left4Dead for the AI. Got it. Tried it. Man, zombies do have blood!… #games #
Since I started playing games for my research, I've killed 100s of virtual bad guys. Does this make me a bad person?… #games #
I've been living without TV for the last 10 years now. Believe me, it is definitely worth a try! Life's too short! #thinking #
Do I have any copyright on the tweets I am writing?… #meta tweet #
