The idea of creating simulation games for business purposes has always intrigued me too. Jason, back in 88 I was working on a Smalltalk-based risk simulation tool for financial portfolios so I was quite taken by your story. The tool was created for a French bank. But I suspect it would have been even more powerful with a game angle. The topic of business simulation could be a good podcast topic candidate.

PS-Like William I loved the outtakes – could not stop laughing for a while after that!

True, and not pursuing gay porn is one of my biggest regrets. I guess you could say, “I blew it”.

To bring it down to the lowest level, Phil’s full name would be perfect for a gay porn star.

Interesting show, It’s good to hear some of Jason’s stories put in to a timeline and context. Phil sounds like a very bright guy.

Not quite what I expected going into the podcast (was looking forward to a rambling discussion) but still interesting! Fills in all the gaps regarding your previous experiences which you discussed previously Jason.

Have you got any screenshots of the application in question? I wouldn’t mind having a quick look at what you guys came up with.

Just a quick not to say that since this turned into an Interview show we didn’t do the thanks or executive producers. We will be doing these in the next discussion show!
