Jobs: Viktor Zakharchenko

Today visiting Layfhakera in the category "Workplace" Viktor Zakharchenko of KamaGames.

What do you do in your work?

At the moment I am helping settle into KamaGames Moscow. I think the real fans of poker if you do not know the brand itself, its top product - Pokerist. I can say with confidence that we are doing the best poker for mobile devices in the world, successfully withstanding competition of bison as Zynga.

But KamaGames - it's not just poker, but still a lot of other exciting products that will soon not just appear in the appstore, but also show themselves in the tops of various ratings. Today KamaGames "pulling the mustache" Pincus with a single product, but tomorrow will be even more fun. You want to break the tops appstore? There are job openings!

For sim finish a minute of advertising. Cooperating with KamaGames, I try to use all of that invaluable experience that gave me the work Drimmi. Paradoxically sounds - seek as much as possible to carry out not at your desk, and poking a finger at other people's monitors. Working in the field I have always liked.

How does your workplace?

As others have said before: my workplace - the entire office. This applies both to work with people and movement in space: I love sitting with a laptop in the most amazing corners. You do not think that, at the door with the inscription WC try to enter without a laptop, sorry for the details, and Tweets arriving there - it's just setting bufferapp.com, publishing posts in established order.

The photo itself is visible workspace office.

This table inverted T (although colleagues are already making fun on phallic symbols). After reading about the work in LifeHacker standing, frequently used this method. Too lazy to buy a special stand for a laptop because my life hacking in this case - the sill + box on the shredder. It should be noted that the kit includes a beautiful view of the path of the Kiev railway station with hundreds coming-leaving. Very motivating, you know.

I have a point of order on the table - I try to keep it empty, do not create blockages. The table top is wide enough that it can fit all of my devices. All wires are hidden in the box, but my apathy towards things like podcasting, do not create any problems with the equipment. All of the devices in 30 seconds going into a backpack.

I am a supporter of the idea of ​​"independence from a place" - can work from cafes, trains to the airport, or simply from the passenger seat of cars. Yes, and I spin around the table yuloyu - innate restlessness in his old age makes itself felt. The world is so dynamic that we can not afford to "sit on the priest exactly."

What hardware are using?

I never zhelezyachnik. Modding - a paragraph in the "Kama Sutra" before petting? I think that my brain and the nucleus of the final product is more important than brains and the nuclei of my equipment. Yes, and make a note!

Hardware Requirements me simple. At the time I moved to Mac and since one of the bright days of my life was the emergence of the 11-inch Air models. The configuration of the maximum weight - minimum. This little contagion actually pushed a sweet creature like the iPad from my life. Eldar Murtazin was right, it was fattened bedside photo frame. If in KamaGames not given in the writ order iPad 2 (yes, they still give out fresh and iPhone - all the same, and also in the form of an order) - have generally had no place tablets in my life. And there lies nearby, gleams blue "smart" cover. Do not believe me - but I do not know, he's charged or not.

Of course, I am using the iPad 2 for testing of gaming products. It is now its main purpose. Reading email, feeds, and social streams migrated to the iPhone (I have iPhone 4S). You can close watch another mobile device - Samsung Galaxy Note. This exactly is discharged. I use it only for business purposes. As long as the thought arose that the transfer to Android as a major personal phone. I'm for the environment! I'm for the preservation of rivers and energy savings.

Do not forget to say a few words about my favorite - Amazon Kindle. Well, for reminding me - it is necessary to buy the last of this series. This kid has selected and iPhone, and Aypada right to read books. I selected durable and does not give. And no arguments like the one that has bookmate.ru on devices with online, do not act on it. I try to be honest to buy books on litres, amazon and imobilco - but so far every other book with a "pirate resources" - not because I'm greedy, but because I like the buyer, no one respects. Here did the guys from the "Alpina" your application - terribly inconvenient. Give me a chance to buy your books and read to me a convenient device! But no. Well grumble, I'm sorry ...

What software use?

The personal use and for business try to use licensed software. It is the civilized world and the software now, in contrast to the same books, you can buy just enough. Especially that "apple country" has already come up with various forms appstore, where money is so easy to give up and simply buying
necessary software.

Browser - Google Chrome. I have a couple of years, I do not know whether there are other browsers, what they are doing, where are moving. Chromium me enslaved. His ascension as a saint only hampered by the lack of adequate product for mobile devices.

A few words and extensions that I stand in the browser:
- Clipper by Evernote
- LastPass password management
- bufferapp.com for deferred tweets
- diigo to store bookmarks (painful choice)
- linguaLeo for pumping skills in English
- handpick.me for fast mailing (try it, incidentally)
- Clipper thefancy.com (forget about you pinterest!)

Facebook viewed in a browser, twitter - only mobile, instant messenger in our main working - Skype, Gtalk sometimes slips, icq completely forgot about. For aggregating messages using imo.im. Mail to gmail, made several attempts to start using the Sparrow (Sparrow), but I did not catch on well in any way. Now blinking to me 998 letters (although I am a fan inbox zero) - all the work comes through the web version. Well, yes and rules for working with mail I have - in the early morning and late at night with a mobile (and there still Sparrow), and during working hours - in three waves, evening respond to the least important. No you alerts on the new letter or that a sin - a new husky.

For the graphics card sharing using d.pr, but watch closely what the team will do with Evernote Skitch. Editing I was sitting behind the wall - he does not draw. My skills to Draw something barely enough, and then I wrote another Swede, he hates for such figures.

Greatly helps to automate processes on a Mac - Alfred. That's really an assistant so the assistant. Music - iTunes. I'm not a music lover: dragged into the folder discography "Okean Elzy", "Boombox", "TIC", "Beatles", Moby and Coldplay - and all, I no longer needed. I wanted to tune into a working harmony - find the radio station Indie pop rocks in the same iTunes, listen and enjoy. The movie does not look. I try to keep the laptop in the status of the working device, because the video is migrating to USB Flash and more can be seen on the TV.

Of the heavyweights, which I use regularly - Evernote. It's in my center, which unites all the important information flows - through ifttt.com send back all sorts of notes, favorites, etc. I assort regularly, but now there are 487 notes - and they scare me. More serious it was from client to Picasa, but somehow lately moved to the web version, including downloads.

Is there a place in your paper work?

I really like the way Peter Didenko evangeliruet for the theme "paperless world." I confess, sometimes print out lots of text, can not perceive them from the screen, it is necessary to allocate a marker. But in general - paper Bank, killing beavers - saving trees. Notes handles make only given Moleskine. But using it is very active - there is the problem (which then migrate to the eerily simple teuxdeux.com), there is thought, there is sometimes incomprehensible scribble - I did not know how to draw.

Is there a dream configuration?

Of course. If we talk about a dream like something unattainable, something I need an input device that will keep up with the speed of my thoughts. Good thoughts - these are trolls who like to fly in a dream or while taking a shower. In general, when a write them well, not. And so you want.

If we talk about zhelezyachnyh parameters, I'm not a programmer-developer.

This programmers sit in KamaGames for macbook Pro maximum configuration so that at Apple, probably not aware of such assemblies. To me it is important compactness - it is important to keep the laptop in one hand, so that the other hand of giving away valuable advice. Air is now fully copes with this task. Less than 11 inches - it is a perversion. So here I am a stranger to perfectionism. We live in an era when the best configuration is available to almost everyone. And if you're in the market you want to win, it is important configuration in your head. Read books, filter information, forcing your brain to go out of your comfort zone - and you'll be on the "Corvette" to show the guys in the back of large corporations. Although the right, macbook Air still have to buy ...
