Tom may not be using Ape Reality as a format going forwards. Please consider subscribing to the Stone Ape podcast if you would like to get a weekly podcast containing some Noble Ape related content. Tom won't be attending the ALIFE conference this year and is feeling generally disenchanted with the artificial life community. The atomic threading is working very well now. Tom also discusses a top down graphics as a means of showing the Noble Ape environment. Will Noble Ape appear on the Mac App Store? If you want more Ape Realities please make contact with Tom.

160. Troop Report #1: Bob and Andy [April 6, 2013]
Taking the original Ape Reality podcast to a completely new format, Tom floats the first Troop Report where users and developers of the Noble Ape Simulation can get together to discuss interesting uses and problems through the Simulation. Tom makes reference to the Stone Ape podcast (nobleape.com/stone). This initial episode Tom is joined by Bob Mottram to talk about the recent addition of QT to the Noble Ape Linux interfaces and a number of other topics. Noble Ape's resident longterm tester, Andy Ypsilon, calls in to discuss how his testing is motivated by an emotional connection and some features he would like to see in Noble Ape. It is intended that this format be used going forward and the recordings would take place roughly onces per month.

Music
Musical Interlude: This is Achmed [2007]
Taking a break from the Noble Ape talk, this piece of music is one of the many 'anthems' that has defined sections of the Noble Ape development. I worked with a group of late-teen somethings on their comedy podcast in 2007. It included the irrespressible, Blake Buck, who provided the vocals. Part of editing the show was creating an original composition each show. This was my favorite pieces through the thematic elements alone. More of these interludes will follow through the podcast feed.
