We’ve made a lot of friends as well.  Brian is definitely going into our “cool” book.  An ad hoc change that Brian has suggested was to keep pending games on top.  Sam suggested and Fix brought it to life by doing a JavaScript search in the “Games” pane.  Now all of the pending games are listed on top so join in and play.  Also, I’ve met a nice man by the name Chris a.k.a. “cutter”.  He is from Malaysia and he’s agreed to give us a lot of feedback on the forum.  He’s already left a few great ideas.  Hopefully it’s possible with AJAX.  What he wants to see is for screen to rattle and shake when a bomb drops.  As I’m writing this I’m thinking whether it will get annoying.  Maybe we can have an on/off button for special effects.  That would be cool.  Some users have also inquired about sound FX.  It is coming, I believe that’s already in the list of upcoming features.  Also, as we were driving to Queens yesterday with Felix to celebrate his birthday he told me that one gentleman has e-mailed him about an opportunity to work for him using AJAX.  Unfortunately he’s from San Francisco and unless he is ok with us working from home we cannot help him.  Then Fix also has mentioned that some other advertising agency in the veins of Google AdSense has contacted him to advertise on our site.  I told Fix to reply and agree to it.  Apparently they’re paying a bit more than Google.  We’re an equal opportunity employer :).  Roman took a few weeks off from his day-job to work on three of his games.  He might be getting a contract to develop these games further.  I’ve requested that he makes a Flash tutorial and a trailer for our game, if you’ve seen his other work, you know what I’m talking about.  I know I’m forgetting something but its all right, I’ve covered most of the highlights.  My mind is racing, thank you all for your time to read this, play the game and leave your comments!

First I need to get something off my chest. I don’t take criticism lightly and my previos blog about slashdot, well, some dude really um dissed me. I decided to delete his comment, don’t want to discourage other users from reading my posts. Plus its an eyesore for me. I tried to live with it and initially approved the comment but then decided otherwise. He had some awful things to say. Anyway, back to the post. As I was checking stats for the first month we’ve been up, I finally figured out how to track multiple weeks. Now, I don’t have much time, I have a final today. I will only mention that we’ve had 3000 users this month, not an astounding number but I’m happy for anything. I love that we have a few loyal visitors/members. Some players actually want us to continue and are willing to register on sites like Digg and vote for us. I love it! A person by the name Brian Benzinger wrote up a neat review of our game on his site. I recommend anyone to read it. I wouldn’t be able to write a review this big even if I tried . Well I could but then the dude who insulted me would have something to say again. Wired blog brings the most users ever since it was posted. Ovelho.com still number one referrer though. But then again, Wired article was released May 19th, Ovelho though, from the get go. I will keep it short even though I’m so excited to write this post. I’m glad there are people like Brian Benzinger and Mike Calore who appreciate the effort. I’m not trying to single them out, I’m grateful for everyone who’ve visited our site. Thank you all and peace. [...] [...] Hey guys, tons of updates, little time. First I need to get something off my chest.
