Social Gaming Networks for iPhone update

Just a quick update. Last night, The Creeps received an update that added AGON Online support (one of the social gaming networks for the iPhone I talked about here). What was truly surprising, however was that it seemed to have a newer version of the AGON Online implementation that allowed you to tie multiple AGON Online accounts to one device and select the preferred profile from a list prior to starting your game. It is now the service most similar to Xbox Live on the iPhone and that much closer to supplanting OpenFeint as my preferred service.

In other news, I found a rather nasty bug in Plus+’s “Search Contacts” feature for finding friends on the Plus+ network. When scrolling through my contacts list, both MazeFinger Plus and Topple 2 Plus crashed just before specific contacts became visible on the screen. I was able to replicate and isolate the issue (by removing key contacts from my phone and resolving the issue, at least until I hit the next “bad” contact). Hopefully that gets fixed soon, so I can add some more friends.

Zombie Attack Disaster Plan

For those that missed it, the University of Florida recently had a document on their website outlining a simulation exercise to aid in training for a zombie attack on the campus. Unfortunately, only a few days after it was discovered, it was removed. Fear not, however. I have managed to secure a copy for the masses and will host it upon my blog until someone tells me to stop.

Or I get bored. Whichever comes first.

Read it here.

Side note: Zombie Attack Disaster Plan was the name of my grunge-metal band in college. True story.
