Can you spot me at IBM's C-level exec puzzle room?

Today @MassLtGov & @MassEducation visited @IBM @CloudRangeCyber, a center where you can experience a cyberattack and role play response scenarios. Here, engineers from IBM can educate companies on how to deal with a cyber attack. #MassSTEMWeek

@Galactoise I had a system for overhearable passwords, but that doesn't quite match. I have a text->IPA dictionary. You would need to build a IPA->text, and a slightly-distort-IPA features.

There's a first: #alexa rejected a skill for trademark violation... OF MY OWN TRADEMARK. O_o

[Voice Conference @Voice_Con]

This year we have been developing #games in #collaboration with the visually-impaired community. We have learned what sorts of features, approaches, and #support the visually-impaired community #values and what they need to succeed.

@Galactoise Bob: I really don't know how we're going to make our sales quota this quarter.
Jane: I know, I could sleep with our customer!
Bob: No, Jane, that would be wrong!

@thedavedev Yep, remember it will. Being the usual overachiever work my four projects and an emulator to boot. 😝

@JoeMoCode @Galactoise @marktucker @LetMyPeopleCode @jeffblankenburg @Volleying @matchboxio @labworksio Six Swords was recently converted to a text based game. That version of the code has been published here.

If you want to take over the voice version, we can negotiate.

[jjaquinta @jjaquinta]

@marktucker @LetMyPeopleCode @JoeMoCode @jeffblankenburg @Volleying @matchboxio @labworksio @Galactoise I did design "Six Thieves" as a sequel to Six Swords, equally large in scope, but specifically interactive multi-player. That concept currently survives as a text based game here:

@marktucker @LetMyPeopleCode @JoeMoCode @jeffblankenburg @Volleying @matchboxio @labworksio Thanks for the mention @Galactoise . Yep, Starlanes was Alexa's first MMO. Six Swords is certainly massive, and there is some x-player interaction, but is not truly multi-player. I have many more thoughts based on this experience about MMORPGs on Audio that won't fit in a tweet.

If you are going to (virtual) VoiceCon next week, we'll be talking on Wednesday.

For anyone going to VoiceCon in Berlin, be sure to tune into Stacy Collella's talks! Me, I got to stay home with the kids this year. :-)

@falicon Consistent change would be nice. Given they store all of our records, Amazon can do one hell of a regression test when they make changes to ensure no breakage. But clearly they don't.

[jjaquinta @jjaquinta]

Amazon has now tweaked #alexa so it no longer recognizes the phrases I've used to wake my kids up for a year. To be useful, something must be consistent.
