Casual Connect in Amsterdam & a GG Podcast(Again!)

Well!
It's been a long, long while since I blogged over here. In truth little has happened over the past year as university takes it's toll and I've got my head down to work. The good news is the end is in sight; and I've managed to (almost) secure a job in the gaming sector despite graduating with a geography degree!
I'm going to be going to Amsterdam once more this year, attending the Casual Connect Conference. I'm hoping to get plenty of interviews with some key folk within the casual game industry, in particular with some of the main portals and developers, asking what options there are for independent developers, and any advise they have to those hoping to join this thriving industry. I'm hoping to compile the interviews and discussions, as well as anything taken from the speakers into a pilot podcast for "Indie Games and Tech"; something I planned on last year.
As to later episodes, I'm still working out a format, but it'll most likely be a GG centered news roundup, produced semi frequently, presented from a new names and faces from around the community. Nothing concrete yet, but things should take shape shortly!!
So if anyone is heading out there this week, please send me an email so we can meet up! I'm going alone at the moment!
