DMA Design radio program

A while back the BBC did a little radio program on Dave and DMA Design, it's a pretty good program and well worth a listen. It's mainly four of us talking about how it all started, and you can hear Dave, Me, Russell and Steve talking about how it all got going. Anyway... it's pretty good, so have a listen.

DMA Design - Now part of history.... apparently.

So a couple of years back the old museum in Dundee closed to get a well needed refurbishment, and while shut it got in touch with Realtime Worlds and asked for everything DMA that would could get our hands on. Now the museum is open again and it has a section based on local history, and a selection of the DMA stuff has been put on display. It's very odd seeing something that I've been intimately involved with appear in a museum! Particularly as (last time I checked), I'm not dead yet! But it's very cool to see DMA Design given the same kind of importance as Timex (who made the ZX Spectrum, right here in Dundee) and D.C. Thomson who...well.. own half of Dundee. There's also lots of stuff dealing with life sciences and the like, and to think that we've managed to influence Dundee's past enough to warrent a little display is very satisfying, not to mention a little cool.
The newly opened museum is pretty good, so if your in the area, you should pop in and see it

Mike Dailly (Me!) - Level Editor, Uniracer compression, SNES framework and tools.
Colin Anderson - Music and effects.

And I cant remember the last two. Testers I think....?

Head over to the staff pics on the Flickr account for better (all be it older!) pictures of some of us.

DMA Design stuff....

I've been trying to look out some Uniracers pictures for an upcoming article, and while doing so I've been admiring all the old images I have from those times. The idea originally was to use my DMA Website to show them all, but its just taking too long to put together, I just don't have the time at the moment. Theres also WAAAAAY too much to put up. So, what I thought I'd do is start uploading them to Flickr! That way everyone gets to see them now, AND I don't have to worry about bandwidth costs etc.

I have hit a slight snag however.... I logged out of my flickr account, and now can't log back in! Oh well.... I've emailed the support team so I hope to get it resolved soon. In the meantime, you can see the images I have already uploaded here: www.flickr.com/photos/mikedailly/

I have also decided to upload all the DMA Videos I've been holding back to my youtube account. Im not sure what the longest video you can post there is, but I have some toppers!
