a blog of Taras Filatov

The game we’ve been developing for two months is finally launched in Apple App Store.

Meet iCombat, a variation of old good Atari game, made for iPhone / iPod platform:

Visit the website of iCombat to find out more.

My post regarding finding the right iPhone developer (from developer’s perspective) got noticed by Odesk and it seems to be interesting for people so I’m posting it here. You may digg it to make it more popular.

I didn’t post about it here in my personal blog - but will do now - “making iCombat” blog is a story of our client from New York who is making an iPhone tanks game with us and it would be interesting to read especially for those who are going to outsource their software development for first time.

A friend of mine has launched a website similar to ‘one million dollar home page‘.

His project is called “The richest banner“.

Well, let’s see how far does it go. I have once studied an effect of social promotion of such projects with my own project. According to my observations, it is really important to give it a very powerful boost in the beginning otherwise the effect of avalanche will not last long. Promotion is very important and its timing is important too.

I have arrived to Ukraine yesterday and to my home town Kharkov today to find it was a right decision to go to Ukraine The food is fantastically tasty and cheap; a lot of beautiful girls on the streets; the political life is exciting - the video of our idiotic city mayor had reached top10 in the world yesterday on youTube. There are elections tomorrow (oops, today) by the way and I’m going to go and vote in the morning. Moreover, my mother makes home-made absinthe with marijuana. Nice.

Don’t feel much like drinking or partying, will probably start working from Monday. It’s great to be free anyway.

BTW I’m looking for e-commerce, web design, programming and SEO projects preferably of medium/big size, we can deal with anything, please give me a shout if you know someone.

I have just installed the Wordpress for my own blog however did it many times previously for our clients *.

Here I would try to write mostly in English however Russian posts would also be present. I’ve installed the Langswitcher plugin in order to allow my visitors to view the posts written in their preferred language. We’ll see how it works.

I have also installed:
