Blue Fish Logic goes live

Well, we've finally done it! The company we setup "Blue Fish Logic" way back in December last year has finally gone live. Having spent the first 6 months of this year developing frameworks for producing 2D and 3D games for the mobile market, I decided that it was far too much work for a one person and I couldn't afford to employ anybody, so we decided to go down the more practical and simpler route by developing smaller applications for Pocket PCs...I've currently got a few ideas for more enterprise level apps, but let's walk before we fall (or whatever the saying is)!.

At the moment the company consists of me and Sarah. I do the techie stuff and Sarah does everything else (including marketing). We have lots of ideas so should keep us very busy for a few months.

The new website is up and running, still lots to do to it and is currently only offering 1 product. I plan to add the facility to purchase direct from our website as the resellers we are currently using take a massive 40%...this is going to be a priority task :) I'm also in the process of upgrading the site to a business level plan as it it currently a home user plan and is too slow.

Nothing much to say!!!

As I've failed my "at least 1 entry a week" target, I thought I'd just talk about...stuff!!!

The weekend just gone was fairly busy. It was my birthday on Saturday...yippee, hoorah, ooooh my back...I'd better sit down! We had a nice meal out at lunchtime once we'd found somewhere that was open (around Annecy is a fantastic place to live but everywhere shuts up for the winter....don't the locals ever eat out!!!!!). Anyway, we ended up in The Imperial Hotel which is probably the poshest looking hotel for miles, very grand, white and over looking the lake. Nice meal, no chips though, but we'll probably have our christmas day meal there.

Saturday evening, we went to a dinner and dance at The Palace Hotel, probably the second grandest looking hotel for miles, very grand, white and over looking the lake. A good time was had by all with many a bad head the next morning.

On Sunday we went and got the entire family kitted out with ski gear. 5 sets of skis, 5 pairs of boots, 5 pairs of battons and a couple of helmets for the kids. All second hand of course ('cause we'll probably only do it once :) ). The whole lot came to less than 350 euros which if you've ever looked at the prices of ski stuff...is a real bargain. And next year (if we want) we can take it all back to the same place and they will try to sell it on our behalf...a bit like a thrift shop.

(Phil Cole, if you're reading this...are you on the UK X Factor (as Ben) or have you got a twin brother????)

Just to liven up the entry, I've attached a video from a company called "Blame Society Films". I think they are really funny...check out the rest of their stuff.
